Really. There is no justice in this world. People buy this crap?

Hollaback Girl -- Gwen Stefani

Uh huh, this is my shit
All the girls stomp your feet like this

A few times I've been around that track
So it's not just gonna happen like that
Because I ain't no hollaback girl
I ain't no hollaback girl [x2]

Ooooh ooh, this my shit, this my shit [x4]

I heard that you were talking shit
And you didn't think that I would hear it
People hear you talking like that, getting everybody fired up
So I'm ready to attack, gonna lead the pack
Gonna get a touchdown, gonna take you out
That's right, put your pom-poms downs, getting everybody fired up

A few times I've been around that track
So it's not just gonna happen like that
Because I ain't no hollaback girl
I ain't no hollaback girl [x2]

Ooooh ooh, this my shit, this my shit [x4]

So that's right dude, meet me at the bleachers
No principals,no student-teachers
Both of us want to be the winner, but there can only be one
So I'm gonna fight, gonna give it my all
Gonna make you fall, gonna sock it to you
That's right I'm the last one standing, another one bites the dust

A few times I've been around that track
So it's not just gonna happen like that
Because I ain't no hollaback girl
I ain't no hollaback girl [x2]

Ooooh ooh, this my shit, this my shit [x4]

Let me hear you say this shit is bananas
B-A-N-A-N-A-S
(This shit is bananas)
(B-A-N-A-N-A-S)

Again
This shit is bananas
B-A-N-A-N-A-S
(This shit is bananas)
(B-A-N-A-N-A-S)

A few times I've been around that track
So it's not just gonna happen like that
Because I ain't no hollaback girl
I ain't no hollaback girl [x2]

Ooooh ooh, this my shit, this my shit [x4]

I wouldn't go dismissing this stuff. I play this with my band and the dance floor is always packed. Go Figure... You can put this in the same category as the Chicken Dance.

I don't deny that. I simply said there is no justice in the world. As songwriters we try to write good stuff and crap like this earns a bazillion dollars.

Ok, it's commercial in today's market. Carry on. I'm sure she probably wouldn't like some things I write.

I've been reading this recently http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0954575016/002-8695533-6300821?v=glance&n=283155

Jerry Leiber (the wordsmith of the two) is quoted in there as saying the biggest difference between songwriting these days and his days is that now image is so important (in effect the urge to corporatise or brand 'popular' music talent by visual media) that decent or meaningful lyrics are no longer required to make a hit so why bother - the listener won't thank you for it by increased sales. You're selling a brand, a lifestyle and no longer a 3 minute lesson in life.

Obvious really I suppose, but I hadn't thought about it deeply enough until I read that. And I should have.

Different strokes for different folks Bill Gwen's music is probably not what you normally listen to.

She is however a good artist. I like this song--my wife really likes it, and my 4 year old shakes her little butt everytime she hears it (even though I don't approve of her shaking her little 4 year old bootie)--and I make sure "every" song played in this house "within" my childs hearing is "edited". I don't care for the vulgarity around young children.

Gwen is laughing all the way to the bank

BTw I play ths song all the time the kids love it Big Time!

different strokes ... and I guess that's where I draw the line and perhaps that's one reason I don't play 500 gigs a year ...
Never had to, never will .....

I'd gladly play 500 gigs a year (singing a long like this)--if I was getting her paycheck

Whoever said money can't buy happiness, must have been a poor man

It may not buy "happiness" per say, but one sure can buy things to "make" them happier.

Al that's amazing dance floor always packed. I call it the dumbing down of America.



I share TonyMads opinion on this one
