the goddamn blues: I'm on a Boat

I'm on a Boat

reminds me of:

wow.

3 got them goddamn blues:

HMSydney said...: I know this is so bad, but I couldn't stop laughing at "I'm On a Boat." It's sad, but entertaining and true. That was a fine illustration of the death of hip-hop. Poetry lost. Hip-hop still does her thing on the underground, but you can't hear that on the radio. And I can see how it's like Soul Boat...that is also bad, but very funny.

Side note: Am I the only person that finds Andy Samberg adorable?; 21/2/09 19:02
Un Amico said...: no, you are not alone; andy samberg can get it any day of the week.; 21/2/09 20:50
Plain Jayne Mansfield said...: LOL, Soul Boat!

O_O @ the Samberg comments. Honestly though, yeah, he's a cutie.; 22/2/09 00:58

And that's what Baby's been reduced to...

TITUS:
Why, tis no matter, man: if they did hear,
They would not mark me, or if they did mark,
They would not pity me.
Therefore I tell my sorrows bootless to the stones,
Who, though they cannot answer my distress,
Yet in some sort they are better then the tribunes
For that they will not intercept my tale:
When I do weep, they humbly at feet
Receive my tears and seem to weep with me,
And were they but attired in grave weeds,
Rome could afford no tribune like to these.
A stone is as soft wax, tribunes more hard than stones:
A stone is silent and offendeth not,
And tribunes with their tongues doom men to death.

I'm on a Boat

Baby's on fire

Better throw her in the water

look at her laughing

like a heifer to the slaughter

And all the laughing boys are bitching

waiting for the photos

oh, the plot is so bewitching

Rescuers row row

Do your best to change the subject

Blow the wind blow blow

Lend some assistance to the object

Photographers snip snap

Take your time, she's only burning

This kind of experience

Is necessary for her learning

If you'll be my flotsam

I could be half the man I used to

They said you were hot stuff

And that's what Baby's been reduced to...
