Is This Song As Bad As the Lyrics Suggest?

[Ksyrup]

Aside from snippets on Best Buy commercials and that annoying NBA Playoffs theme, I've been fortunate enough to stay away from Black Eyed Peas. However, having seen these lyrics, I didn't realize just HOW lucky I'd been. The actual song can't be worse than these lyrics suggest, can it?


BLACK EYED PEAS
"My Humps"

What you gon’ do with all that junk?
All that junk inside your trunk?
I’ma get, get, get, get, you drunk,
Get you love drunk off my hump.
My hump, my hump, my hump, my hump, my hump,
My hump, my hump, my hump, my lovely little lumps. (Check it out)

I drive these brothers crazy,
I do it on the daily,
They treat me really nicely,
They buy me all these ice-ys.

(Oh) Spendin’ all your money on me, on me, on me

What you gon’ do with all that junk?
All that junk inside that trunk?

I met a girl down at the disco.
She said hey, hey, hey yea let’s go.

Lets spend time not money.
I mix your milk wit my cocoa puff,
Milky, milky cocoa,
Mix your milk with my cocoa puff, milky, milky riiiiiiight.

They say I’m really sexy,
The boys they wanna sex me.
They always standing next to me,
Always dancing next to me,
Tryin’ a feel my hump, hump.
Lookin’ at my lump, lump.
U can look but you can’t touch it,
If u touch it I’ma start some drama,
You don’t want no drama,
No, no drama, no, no, no, no drama
So don’t pull on my hand boy,
You ain’t my man, boy,
I’m just tryn’a dance boy,
And move my hump.

Try not googling 'lady lumps' and you'll do an even better job of avoiding them.

i like coco puffs

[Ksyrup]

Yes, but what inquiring minds want to know is, do you mix it with your milk to make milky millky cocoa?

[stevew]

I heard a Steven Malkmus song being used in a Sears Commercial. Steven Malkmus.

[Pumpy Tudors]

I like the Black Eyed Peas, and I think that song is hilarious. I'll go back to my murky depths now.

[Ksyrup]

I've never heard it, so I can't comment. However, I get the feeling they aren't going after Weird Al's fanbase, so who is the joke really on?

I'm sorry, I don't believe you. That's like telling me the Earth is flat.

I guess they're not really going for "ha-ha funny" with this particular song, but I doubt that they're stone-faced serious about it either. Whatever the case, I just think the song is funny, but I like falling out of trees. My opinion should never be considered as general consensus of anything, except maybe when I'm talking about the New Jersey Devils.

[stevew]

Fuck off.

SM is God.
It just seemed like an odd choice for a commerical, i think it was something off of his first album too, which is like 5 years old or more. Just totally different than what they normally use for ads.

[Pumpy Tudors]

What the hell is a Steven Malkmus?

[Schmidty]

I'm really curious which song it would be. The only commercial "success" off of that album was "Jenny and the Ess-Dog".

[Schmidty]

The greatest alternative rocker of our time. To me.

The writer of random genius of things such as my sig.

I hope they're not serious. That would worry me even more.

I'll be the first to admit that I listen to some music that's attached to cliched/trite lyrics, but damn, that's just embarrassing, IMO. But then again, I think Love Shack is one the most embarrassing songs I've ever heard, and people generally seem to love that song, so I'll just accept the fact that I'm not exactly a good judge of what's acceptable in terms of "fun" songs. It's not like I enjoy dancing, unless my neck's sore for the next week.

Upon further review, it was "Phantasies", more specifically the beginning part, before the odd chorus. I have a bunch of Pavement CD's, like i said, though, it was really odd to just break out a 5 year old song for a commercial from an album that probably sold less than 500K copies.

I respect you a lot more now that I know you have excellent taste in music. :)

[JonInMiddleGA]

... it was really odd to just break out a 5 year old song for a commercial from an album that probably sold less than 500K copies.

I suspect that made it a lot cheaper to license, so it may make more sense than first blush would appear.

As likely as not though, somebody in the decision-making food chain on the spot just really liked the song (or, knows this artist that I've never heard of & wanted to put a little money in his pocket as a favor).

[Subby]

song lyrics is overrated, yo

[sachmo71]

Yes, but what inquiring minds want to know is, do you mix it with your milk to make milky millky cocoa?


ewww. i'd have to say no, unless there is money in it.
Or frankenberries. I'll mix my milk with frankenberries anytime.

[Karlifornia]

Pavement-Aging hipster music...good aging hipster music, though

[Ksyrup]

Back off, man, cuz you don’t want no drama, no, no drama, no, no, no, no drama.

[Draft Dodger]

well, it's no Khia...

[Ryan S]

The actual song can't be worse than these lyrics suggest, can it?
It can, and it is.

[Antmeister]

Nooooo! This is not even close to the worst lyrics sung by Ashlee Simpson:

You can dress me up in diamonds
You can dress me up in dirt
You can throw me like a line-man
I like it better when it hurts

Oh, I have waited here for you
I have waited

You make me wanna la la
in the kitchen on the floor
I'll be a french maid
When I meet you at the door
I'm like an alley cat
Drink the milk up, I want more
You make me wanna
You make me wanna scream

You can meet me on an aero-plane
Or in the back of the bus
You can throw me like a boomerang
I'll come back and beat you up

Oh, I have waited here for you
Dont, keep me waiting

You make me wanna la la
in the kitchen on the floor
I'll be a french maid
When I meet you at the door
I'm like an alley cat
Drink the milk up, I want more
You make me wanna

You make me wanna la la
in the kitchen on the floor
I'll be a french maid
When I meet you at the door
I'm like an alley cat
Drink the milk up, I want more
You make me wanna
You make me wanna scream

I feel safe with you
I can be myself tonight
It's alright, with you
Cuz you hold, my secrets tight
You do, You do

You make me wanna la la, la la la, la la, la la la la la la la la la
You make me wanna la la, la la la la

You make me wanna la la
in the kitchen on the floor
I'll be a french maid
When I meet you at the door
I'm like an alley cat
Drink the milk up, I want more
You make me wanna
You make me wanna la la
in the kitchen on the floor
I'll be a french maid
When I meet you at the door
I'm like an alley cat
Drink the milk up, I want more
You make me wanna
You make me wanna scream

You make me wanna la la, la la la, la la, la la la la la la la la la
You make me wanna la la, la la la la
You make me wanna la la, la la la, la la, la la la la la la la la la
You make me wanna la la, la la la la
You make me wanna la la, la la la, la la, la la la la la la la la la
You make me wanna la la, la la la la

[chinaski]

Fuck off.

SM is God.
Schmidty knows who Malkmus is, and now my world is crumbling.

[Schmidty]

I know who he is??? Hell, I've seen him in concert over 20 times since "Slanted and Enchanted" came out back in '91.

I am his disciple.

BEP are annoying.

It just seemed like an odd choice for a commerical, i think it was something off of his first album too, which is like 5 years old or more. Just totally different than what they normally use for ads.

I think that IS what they're normally using for ads these days. Hipster music, both past and present has been seeping into advertising for the past couple years as ads have gotten 'edgier'. Recently the Shins have been used to hucked McDonalds fries, the Kings of Leon are selling Volkswagens and Modest Mousse were used to pitch minivans. Oldsters like the sex pistols, ramones, and devo who hardly would've been considered commercial during their heyday have all been used to back commercials in recent years. I still love the irony of super freak ass Iggy Pop shilling for Carnival Cruise Lines, or whatever. If the song being used is recognised by you, for having some signifigance or being moderately obscure, it sticks wit' ya and you might even be more likely to recall the product, but if you don't recognise the song it probably never even registers with you.

Ten years ago if you had told me I would've turned on my million selling EA Sports college football game and heard Guided by Voices and the Pixies I woulda been baffled. I still am.

[Ksyrup]

Yeah, add to that a Brendan Benson song was used a couple of years ago in a car commercial. Of course, on the flipside of that, I heard the new Paul McCartney last night on a car commercial.
