lyrically inept

I must be in the minority for the first time of my life (being a white male this is a real shocker to me).

I must be in the minority because if I were not there is no way in which the following things would happen, the public would have spoken and the free market which I believe in so strongly would have spoken and ridiculed the presenters of inanity and it would go away.

Bad Lyrics. I don't drive as much as Billy in a day but I do have a decent amount of windshield time and as such have plenty of opportunity to listen to the radio. In the last month or two I have paid close attention to the lyrics of songs and find them to be woefully stupid.

There is no way that "I'm not lying I'm just stunnin' with my love-glue-gunning" and "Beats so big I'm steppin' on leprechauns" deserve a place in the world. Of course, these are by Lady GaGa and Black Eyed Peas respectively.

Where are the days when you had an insight full our profound chorus like "Brass Monkey - that funky Monkey, Brass Monkey - junkie, That funky Monkey". Heck, even the new Britney Spears song has better lyrics. It might even qualify as rhetoric if this was an election year.

Could you see a YouTube video of Barack Obama pictures over Britney's video for Circus? Now that would be some funny chit right there. (I apologize to you God and please bless all of the midgets in New Guinea).

Now, this is long but it will have a story or two in my next blog:
