"My Humps"

[nytemare]

What is the deal with this fucking shitty song? I thought the Black Eyed Peas had promise, and they put out this crap. What a feat of songwriting this was.

Let's take two words that sort of rhyme, and repeat them 80 times. The scary thing is, this shit sells. This radio station they have on at my work plays the same songs every 40 minutes, and I have to listen to this damned earworm.

There is so much good music out there, and they have to play this drivel.

1. I like it.

Not as good as Hey Mama or Shut Up. But it's fun. Nothing wrong with a cheeky novelty song now and then.

No pun intended.

[nytemare]

2. Nothing wrong with novelty, not much novel here, though.

I was thinking about buying that cd, until I heard on the radio that this was them.

I will stick to Jill Scott or Nikka Costa. T

3. I thought it was popular simply because it was just so bad

The first time I heard it I just laughed at the idea that the song was actually considered music. Although I must admit the simple rhythm of the song isn't all that bad but the lyrics are laughable. You know it's funny when songs like these are embraced by the population we kill music just kill music just a little bit more. Hell when any community embraces anything that's medioacre as achievment you can wave goodbye to the prospect of anything of actual integrity being produced. I suppose that's why I love classical piano music, it's pure and involves actual excellence from an individual to play rather than songs like "My Humps" that seem to just be some record executive who knows to on count on peoples not thinking (as it would seem evident by the songs popularity) and just throws some bimbo with some seductive and sexually oriented lyrics knowing most of the populace will embrace this blatant display of mediocrity as excellence.

eerrr sorry about the tangent...

4. I look at the crap on TV, and hear crap on the radio

see crap in the White House, and it all makes sense. America has been dumbed down. Rather than be concerned about the war, we put our proverbial heads in the sands of reality tv.

I know, it is just a song, but its popularity says a lot more than the song does, which is hump, lump and trunk.

5. My Lovely Lady ...

I like it.

6. Gong!

[malachibk]

7. It's a great song. Shut up and dance!

8. Spendin' all ya money on me!

For two days in a row now this song has started playing when I walked into my office. And no, it's no one playing tricks--it's the radio. What is the universe trying to tell me??

[ghostsofgiants]

9. They DID have promise, back before they released Elephunk

It's been straight downhill ever since that album.

They have a song called "Get Original", (from their "Bridging Te Gap" album, I think), which is one of my favourite songs by them, but it's almost a self-fulfilling prophecy:

"Yeah you platinum, but you wack as hell"

"If you ate pebbles, your shit wouldn't rock
You one of them balloons made to go pop"

[Debbi801]

10. What is really scary is listening to my 10 yr old daughter singing along..

:grr: It seriously creeped me out. I had never heard it before the other day when My kids asked me to turn on a different radio station.

[PassingFair]

12. Hey! I've got a 10 year old gyrating around the house to that song!

It is DISGUSTING. I WILL NOT let her listen to it in my presense without a lecture about self-esteem and not selling her "lumps" for money and bling. I probably wouldn't think twice about the song if my kid wasn't going around proposing that she be rewarded with designer clothes for exposing her lumps.
Urg!

Here are the lyrics:
Whatcha gonna do with all that junk
All that junk inside your trunk



I'ma get get get get you drunk
Get you love drunk off my hump
My hump my hump my hump my hump my hump
My hump my hump my hump my lovely little lumps

Check it out

I drive these brothers crazy
I do it on the daily
They treat me really nicely
They buy me all these ices
Dolce and Gabbana
Fendi and the Donna
Karan they be sharin'
All their money got me wearing fly
Whether I ain't askin
They say they love mah ass in
Seven Jeans
True religion

But they keep givin
So I keep on takin
And no I aint taken
We can keep on datin',
Now keep on demonstratin'

My love my love my love my love
You love my lady lumps
My hump my hump my hump
My humps they got you..

I met a girl down at the disco
She said hey hey hey ya lets go

Let's spend time not money
And mix your milk with my cocoa puff
Milky milky cocoa
Mix your milk with my cocoa puff
Milky milky
Riiiiight...



They say I'm really sexy
The boys they wanna sex me
They always standin next to me
Always dancin next to me
Tryna feel my hump hump
Lookin at my lump lump
You can look but you can't touch it
If you touch it
I'ma start some drama
You don't want no drama
No no drama no no no no drama
So don't
Pull on my hand boy
You ain't my man boy
I'm just tryna dance boy

And move my hump
My hump my hump my hump my hump my hump my hump
My hump my hump my hump my hump my lovely lady lumps
My lovely lady lumps my lovely lady lumps
In the back and in the front

My loving got you..



Shes got me spending.. Ohh..

All that junk inside that trunk



I'ma get get get get you drunk
Get you love drunk off my hump



Whatcha gonna do with all that ass
All that ass inside your jeans

Make you scream make you scream



Whatcha gonna do with all that junk

Whatcha gonna do with all that breast
All that breast inside that shirt

Shes got me spending..



Ohh..Spending all your money on me..and spending time on me..



Shes got me spending..



Ohh..Spending all your money on me..uh on me on me.

11. I dunno, I see some social commentary there

It's a portrait, maybe a celebration, maybe a parody, probably a little of both, of the way the genders interact in a certain context. Plenty of pop songs mean a hell of a lot less.

[LisaL]

13. Yea, it's bad.

But a lot of so-called songs now days leave me shaking my head "WTF is it even about?".

[distantearlywarning]

14. I first heard this song while watching my city's cable access show

They had a gay talent show on (heavy on the gay, light on the talent, unfortunately), and one of the contestants was lip synching and dancing to this song. I laughed my ass off, because I thought it was a silly parody song, especially given the fact that the contestant didn't really have much in the way of lumps or humps.

Later I heard it again and realized that it was the Black Eyed Peas and was horrified that it was meant to be real music. Seriously, this is one of the stupidest songs I think I've ever heard. And it's a horrible earworm so ever time I catch so much as a mere snippet of it or hear the song title I have those inane lyrics in my head for hours. Bleagh! It's not so much offensive as it is really, really, really freaking moronic. It's like Barney for grown-ups or something.

[SlavesandBulldozers]

15. just another piece of shit song to go on the trash-heap of radio.

isn't the first, won't be the last.

It's a shame that radio is a constant race to the bottom, but i suppose it always has been.
