new lyrical low?

You've doubtless heard the Black Eyed Peas' latest, which is all over the TV and radio at the moment. The lyrics amount to variations on 'my hump, my hump, my hump, my lovely lady lumps" with a few asides such as "whacha gonna do with all that ass". It just makes me cringe. Is this record setting a new intellectual low point?

Tones - apologies if this was one of your lyrics...

 

Sorry, much too highbrow for me ever to have written . I wish I could write classy lyrics, such as those of my favourite "Surfin' Bird".

 

"Batman" theme is also good: "Batman,batman,batman" etc. That's what I'd call classy lyrics.

 

Sometimes the lyrics don't matter.

Take Little Richard's Tutti Fruity - the chorus of which is either a) utterly meaningless or b) utterly depraved filth using codewords only a select member of a gang of perverted sex dwarves might understand (knowing a little bit of Mr Penniman's history, the second option is likelier than you might think).

Doesn't stop it being brilliant though.

"Tutti frutti, oh, rootie
Tutti fruitti, whoo!
Tutti fruitti, ah, oh, rootie
Tutti fruitti, oh, rootie

A whop bop a-loo
Whop A whop Bam
Ooooh"

or something like that.

 

You missed out the bit that goes "NanananananananaNananananananana"

 

here are the My Hump lyrics

I had underestimated the number of humps involved...

Ivor Novello eat yo' heart out

 

Hmm ... sometimes the lyrics do matter then. Jesus that's dumb.

 

Not forgetting this ancient classic from my long-distant youth:

I told the witch doctor I was in love with you
I told the witch doctor I was in love with you
And then the witch doctor, he told me what to do
He said that
Ooh-ee-ooh-ah-ah, ting-tang-walla-walla-bing-bang
Ooh-ee-ooh-ah-ah, ting-tang-walla-walla-bang-bang
Ooh-ee-ooh-ah-ah, ting-tang-walla-walla-bing-bang
Ooh-ee-ooh-ah-ah, ting-tang-walla-walla-bang-bang

 

Here you go, this is a bit of class:

definately in the runnings for my record of the year.

 

What do you expect? It's the Black Eyed Peas, from the musical genre of:
Rubbish and B****cks
or
Repetitive and Boring - whichever you prefer. A musical-free zone for chavs who can't breathe without needing a phat beat with nothing else on top.

 

Funk? Heart? Fook. Ass.

Quite!
Even more annoying than the childish lyrics (which are almost excusable given the target audience) is the singer's voice on an earlier single... that "No, No, No, No. Don't funk with my heart" sung in the most nasal way possible!
Hold your nose and read those words out loud, it'll sound clearer and more musical than she did.

 

Also to add to the Rubbish and B****cks list is F*** It! by that idiot Eamon. Can't remember who it was, but another idiot was also responsible for the F*** You Right Back! load of rubbish as well!

 

i like the black eyed peas.

its boppy pop music - nuthin serious and not R&B as I understand it.
