Gotta get my hearing checked

There is a new hip hop song on the airwaves that is already starting to get on my nerves. And it just started playing.

I'm screwed.

It has a hook, I admit... but my whole problem is that every time I hear it I feel like a complete idiot.

The song is called "Rock Star". It is sung (and I use the term loosely) by ... a large number of black men (called a "posse") who go around high-fiving and slapping their roadies (i.e. any chick who is looking to claim they "did" a rap star) on the ass and drinking champagne straight from the bottle.

God, I wish I had their lives. Seriously.

Oh well.

Yeah. So I don't know the rapper(s) who sing it, and it doesn't really matter. What matters is that the first 3-4 times I heard it I swore the main lyrics in that song were "Horny like a rock star. Horny like a rock star." Err, the thing is, it's actually "Party like a rock star. Party like a rock star."

Freud would have something to say about my hearing. I'm sure he would. And perhaps in this case, he has a point.

Funny, cuz the only word that really popped out for me in your blog was "horny"

Maybe cuz it's spring...

Even Frued needed laid once in a while. Have fun (if possible) in D-town. :)

I can't believe how far in left field I am when I find out the real lyrics to songs. :)

I'll have to look this one up. I don't think I've heard it yet. Whoever finds out who the "band" is, let us know.
