The prostitution of anybody: women, man, and children is a tragedy. It is a whole other thing to glorify it in in song as an acceptable lifestyle. Motown does just that with The Hunter Gets Captured by the Game. A song pinned by Smokey Robinson and sung by the Marvelettes. In the style of a play, Teena Marie helps us to clarify exactly what is happening in the song. The next time you hear this song I hope you look at it in its real light and not glory in its music which is troubling and sad in itself.
