Well, the dick part is right.
excalibre: Ah, I see. Why that should have been brought into a thread that has nothing to do with Muslims at all is another question altogether.
Thank you for making that even clearer Mulligan.
I knew it was two guys, but I guess I just considered them “bands” because they had lots of people with them. :smack:
As for the band name/album name snaffuu, my bad. :o
But thank you for clearing that up.
I guess back to my first point about “it’s just a song” then.
People, I don’t give a fuck how clever the lyrics are or how hip the group is. In my opinion, using the term “poo-oo-oo-oo” in a song is a dealbreaker.
It’s possible to use bawdy humor and have class at the same time. Consider Elvis Costello’s line from ‘Clubland:’
The long arm of the law slides up the outskirts of town’
This is a double entendre with subtlety and lyrical style. It’s not an immature reference to scatological humor. Fuck OutKast with a pitching wedge
Well, then I don’t know what you are complaining about.
Cause it’s boo boo not poo poo.
Now I’m racking my brains trying to think of a song I like with the word ‘poo’ in the lyrics. I must admit I can’t think of one. Yet.
I do hope you caught the part where it was revealed that the lyric is boo-hoo-hoo. Not pooooooooooooooooooooo.
on preview: dammit Kricket.
SongMeanings has it as boo-boo.
But of course ‘smell like boo-boo’ doesn’t make much sense, so I can’t say PaulFitzroy’s conclusion is irrational.
Last year called, it wants it’s rant back.
*He ain’t got laid in a month of Sundays.
I caught him once and he was sniffing my undies.
He ain’t too sharp but he gets things done.
Drinks his beer like it’s oxygen.
He’s got more balls than a big brass monkey.
He’s a wacked out werido and a lovebug junkie.*

PS: Let’s cut to the chase – all rap sucks.
PPS: No, I’m not kidding.
PPPS: I know millions of people like it. Millions of people are wrong.
Pardon me, but really…isn’t that kind of like saying it’s not “mother fucker…it’s muh fuh!” If it sounds like a duck, ya know, even though technically maybe it’s a goose. It’s pretty much a distinction without a difference, IMHO.
Actually, the AFLAC duck is a goose, and it has done its share of fart jokes. So there you have it.
Nnnoooo. Poo-poo and boo-boo are two different words. “Poo-poo” is childish while “boo-boo” is funny. “Muh fuh” is just “mother fucker” slurred. Obviously, you know nothing about comedy.
You and I both know they intend it to sound like poo-poo. Like I said, a distinction without a difference.
For the record, I don’t find that particular song all that objectionable, but the truth is the truth. It’s intended to sound as much like poo-poo without actually saying it as possible. And therefore, it sounds silly and childish…pretty much like this entire “is too/is not” discussion.
Not sure if you’re joking here or what (I’m not familiar with PaulFitzroy’s stance Mideast issues), but just to clear up any confusion that might be left over:
Bombs Over Baghdad has nothing to do with war or literally dropping bombs. It’s a metaphor for going all out when you do something and doing it right. Big Boi has gone on record as being against violence in the middle east (and the current Iraq war, IIRC.)
Heh, my original reply (that I typed and then deleted) consisted of only:
“Welcome to 14 months ago!”
Glad I’m not the only one. 
What’s up with this Public Enemy joker? I mean, who’s really afraid of a black planet? Kids these days.
I Left My Wallet in El Segundo?! Crap!
Hmm. Now you’re exhibiting your cultural ignorance. Amongst my peers, and apparently the writers of the song are part of them, “poo-poo” is not even a word (I only know it from TV), and “boo-boo” is. Therefore, they’re not intending for anything to sound like anything else - they’re saying “boo-boo”, and they mean it. You just exposed the fact that you’re so outside of the intended audience (and so is the OP since he misheard the unfamiliar word to something he recognized) that you might as well not even have an opinion on the song.
