Lyrics…plus OutKast.

Hey! Who needs reminding about a dope track from OutKast? You, right? You do, trust me. You forgot how dope it was to bop around town listening to this one. Put this bright little gem in the pocket of your headphones – no, not those softbatch earbuds (I mean, come on - earbuds?) but through the big boys:

I’ll call before I come
I won’t just pop-a over
Out the blue-ooooo-oooo
I hope that you do too….

I’ll call before I come
I won’t just pop-a over
Out the blue-ooooo-oooo
No, after you….

Bwah ne ne neer ne ne neer neer
Bom bom
Bom bom…

Yeah, that’s a good one. Looking up rap lyrics is funny – it’s classic to see what people come up with. Aloisius becomes Allawishes, Vallejo becomes Thelel…”How can a small town like Thelel have all these damn homicides?” Ummm….it’s Vallejo. You know, V-A-L-L-E-J-O, H-I double-L Side, ya heard? That town he mentions ALL THE TIME? “The Story” is a great example of aural mangling – 365lyrics has the lyrics to “The Story” pretty much right, but Lyrics Depot has all this funny stuff in there:

Wonder why all the good people get put through some manydifferent changes of the web/And all those folks that do wrong seem like they live forever

Hmmm, what rhymes with “forever”? Changes of the…the…web! That’s it!

Uh, Uh fatty is the key to end all your walls/Contemporary crib, cash cards and clothes/But then it cause problems like guns and spids/Families fall out and don't talk for years

Let’s see here – I’ll forgive you “fetti” even though I shouldn’t, and maybe forgive “woes” even though that’s more of a stretch…and I guess “cash cards” is similar enough to “Cash, cars” even though I seriously doubt anyone raps about ATM cards except for when they’re rapping about choppin’ butter. But I’m not forgiving “spears.” That’s where I draw the line. What the hell is a spid anyway? Thanks for coming out, brainiac. Yeah, spid rhymes with years real good like.

It's rough/How much money you earn, /enough, I own my own law firm/Don't need a tux, I twerks picoods and kakis (kakis)/Levis and t-shirts/Whatever the street's works

Picoods? Try peacoats, idiot. Are picoods like spids? They wear/use those in the Magical Land of Thelel?

Ain't nothin changed but the tad toy/Same time, different day, different star

This one is just funny. Territory is heard as “tad toy.” Come on, you know that’s funny. And then hearing “story” as “star” – when the name of the song is “The Story” – is too much.

There are others, but I thought I would stick with a sampling. Of course, I’m the one who once thought the lyrics to that guido dance song was “Save the Humans” instead of “Me do you miss,” so I shouldn’t talk smack. But I never put that on the interweb; on top of that, if there’s one thing I learned about the interweb, it’s never to let a little hypocrisy get in the way of a righteous post. I mean, shit. At least “Save the Humans” is comprised of actual words that actually exist in the actual world. There’s no such thing as a picood, a spid, or a tad toy.

Except in Thelel, of course.

Peace
Chucky
