W A R N I N G: Rant alert.

I was standing in line somewhere yesterday and was subjected to music(?) that quite literally felt like a nail being driven into my brain and made me want to turn and run out of the place (fast and very far). I'm quite sure that I've heard braying donkeys that sound better. Repetitive lyrics that aren't even good to begin with, over and over and OVER AGAIN, don't make for good listening for me. It made me think....what, exactly, is the criteria for some lyricists? Try and string a sentence together (unsuccessfully I might add), then run with it?

Much to my dismay, I see that this song is #6 on Itunes "Top Songs" list. Who thinks so? People without ears? Who's listening to this crap? Deaf people, that's who.

You be the judge...here's the masterpiece (*sighs*).....

First of all, if I was to hear this on a record player, I'd be pushin' the needle over to get it to stop skipping.

Now let's break it down here a little bit:

"totally dude"

Don't steal Allison's shit guys. Copyright, o.k.?

Get over yourself already.
And I think you made me pee mine.

"whoop, whoop, whoop, wha, whoop"
what the fuck was that?

"(cool)you know me

"skull belt/wallet chain"...puh-LEASE. My six year old had those. So 1994.

was OJ with you by any chance? Too bad he didn't kill this song instead of those people.

She shoulda shoved you back in. (Did I really just say that?)

"bitches wanna marry me

Dude, if your pick up line is "cowabunga" (note: sp), then I can only imagine the "bitches" you get. Are they cold, slimy and green by any chance?

Wow, wasn't that something?

If you're looking to get out of work today, put this on, give yourself a migraine and call in sick. I have to go now, my ears are bleeding.

I'd told Ty that I heard this God awful song that kept repeating the same thing over and over and was giving me a headache in the store. I then found out later that it was a big hit when I saw it on Itunes Top Songs...couldn't believe it. My God, what's music coming to? Are we being Punk'd?
