“She’s a bad mama jama / Just as fine as she can be.” Woo! Basically, what 🎙 Carl Carlton saying is, this girl is FINE! She a 10! Sista got it going on! Honestly, the chorus of his no. 22 Billboard Hot 100 hit, 🎵 “She’s A Bad Mama Jama (She’s Built, She’s Stacked)”, says it all. “She’s A Bad Mama Jama” graces Carlton’s 💿 self-titled, 1981 album, where he’s easy on the eyes on the cover art 😍.  Anyways, the record is one big load of 1980s female objectification, period.

“Her body measurements are perfect in every dimension / She’s got a figure,” Carlton asserts in the first verse. Da-yum! He adds, “I get so excited viewing her anatomy.” Hmm, I wonder just how excited Carl gets 🍆… It is a safe bet on this funky joint that the rocket 🚀 is ready for takeoff: “She’s built, oh, she’s stacked / Got all the curves that men like / Look at her.” Yes indeed! Ultimately, this 🎼 ✍ 🎛 Leon Haywood-helmed joint describes male horniness in expert fashion.  It is a fun song that is far less explicit than the female objectifying songs of the 2020s but still has the same effect.  After all, on 🎵 “She’s A Bad Mama Jama (She’s Built, She’s Stacked)”, Carl Carlton is thinking with his pants.
