One of my WoW guildies sent me this the other day, and damned if I haven’t had it stuck in my head ever since. Very catchy, very cute. NSFW, though. Motown will never be the same.

Great great song that has been in my head incessently since it came out a week or so ago.
The official video (not just w/ the animated lyrics) was just released yesterday, and it makes me love the song even more.
Great song. I don’t know who Cee Lo Green is, but that was funny!
When I saw the title, I thought of MacLean & MacLean, though.
1/2 of Gnarls Barkley Both He and Danger Mouse have their own things going on but GB is their collaboration group.
Saw the first version on boingboing. There’s something about his voice that really appeals to me. I’m also really really glad I have no one that would make me think of them when I hear it! Love both versions and the ‘official video’ could last for two hours and I wouldn’t tire of it.
I loved this song when I heard it, but it’s quickly beginning to grate. Well, okay, not the actual song, but the version with “forget you!” in place of the title phrase. What makes the song work and not be complete candy-pop is its gleeful inappropriateness —that is, the repackaging of vindictive anger in a popular-music wrapper. So when you hear it in a grocery store (over and over again) with the main lyric replace and all the vindictiveness gone,…
They’re playing in in grocery stores?? Wow, I had no idea it was so popular already.
That’s annoying that they’re bowdlerizing it, though. I agree with you–what makes it so cool is the juxtaposition of the profane lyrics and the Motown-pop tune.
Also, there’s just something so satisfying about saying the words “Fuck You” in defiant anger.
I don’t get it. It’s not that great.
What is there to get?
Well, they say it’s funny. And it spread like wildfire on Twitter like it was the coolest thing for ages. I don’t get that.
I accept that it’s not my kind of music, but I don’t see why it should be even a tiny phenomenon.
I apologise for my interruption of your appreciation of it. As you were.
I wonder if Cee Lo took inspiration from this guy (NSFW).
I can’t “hear” lyrics, so I have to vote with GuanoLad. Maybe if I could tell what he was saying I’d think it funny, but as is it’s just a decent song performed well enough. On technical terms, it was starting to drag after a minute. It could use some changes in pace and tone as it goes through.
This link was a big help w/the lyrics, and by the third verse, I realized, “Hey, this is a kid talking”. The general inarticulateness, the mom & dad reference, the over-the-top emotions–a really fun and funny insight into Puppy Love.
So then when I saw the official video–Lo and behold, that’s exactly how they presented it. A shame that it’s a song (like “Hey Ya”) that would be fun to accidentally run into on the radio, but that’s certainly not going to happen (not this version anyway), but I liked it–and while I’m not very up on popular music, I know a few Dangermouse songs and really love his voice, too.
It’s a nice song . . . about 30 seconds too long, IMHO. As Sage Rat said, there aren’t enough changes in it. It’s catchy, and I loved it the first time listening to it (about 1 minute ago), but I can already tell it’s going to get old. There’s too little going on.
The song it made me think of the most is Love Train by the O’Jays. Interestingly, even in the same key!
Love Train succeeds where F You fails in that:
-It’s almost 1 minute shorter, and more importantly;
-The verses have a different set of chords than the chorus.
I-II-IV-I is one of the catchiest progressions there is, but when it’s almost all there is for four minutes, it gets old to the ear really fast.
And, the bridge doesn’t come in until 3 mins in.
If it were me, I’d cut a whole verse, and drop the verses into the relative minor or something like that.

yeah i heard this song yesterday, it’s awesome!
