For a while now, I thought no song could out annoy Gwen’s “Hollaback Girl” (cuz, ya know, her shit is bananas-- b-a-n-a-n-a-s). How wrong I was.

The Black Eyed Peas have a new song- My Humps Not only is this song flat-out annoying, it is downright stupid (I should note, this is all my subjective opinion and “annoying” and “stupid” can vary greatly).

First of all, Fergie is rapping. Stacy Ferguson was once in a girl version of the Backstreet Boys…now she is a rapper? I can let that go. Well, I can try.

But, please, look at some of the wonderful lyrics to this song:

> [@](#):
>
> My hump, my hump, my hump, my hump,  
> My hump, my hump, my hump, my hump, my hump, my hump.  
> My lovely lady lumps x3  
> In the back and in the front.  
> My lovin’ got u,  
> She’s got me spendin’.  
> (Oh) Spendin’ all your money on me and spending time on me.  
> She’s got me spendin’.  
> (Oh) Spendin’ all your money on me, on me, on me.

I assume she is refering to her ass, but who refers to their ass as their hump? That just brings about all kinds of strange, hunchback flashbacks. “Lovely lady lumps”? Indeed.

> [@](#):
>
> What you gon do with all that junk?  
> All that junk inside that trunk?  
> I’ma get, get, get, get you drunk,  
> Get you love drunk off this hump.  
> What you gon’ do wit all that breast?  
> All that breast inside that shirt?  
> I’ma make, make, make, make you work  
> Make you work, work, make you work.

Uh…huh.

I should mention that I regularly listen to “pop” so it isn’t like I am just ragging on pop in general. This song is just. flat out. stupid. Has anyone heard it? Does anyone actually _like_ this song? At least the Bananas song had some…well something going for it.

Best. Song. Evar.

It’s almost on par with Gunther’s _Ding Dong Song_.

I haven’t heard it yet, but any post that professes a dumbest pop song EVER! without the standard-setting examples of Hanson’s “MMM-Bop”, Bel Biv Devoe’s “The Hot Shit” or T-Bird and the Biz’s “There Goes My Baby Daddy” just hasn’t realized how low the bar is set.

MMM bop is a deep, psychological masterpiece compared to this song.

1. Your link leads to a Trojan giving website. I tried finding a clean website, but I can’t. Maybe somebody doesn’t want those lyrics getting out. : Shifty eyes :

2. Fergie can talk about her [hump](http://www.smh.com.au/ffximage/2005/02/14/fergie_gallery__357x550.jpg) all day in my book (work safe). Yum.

3. **Opal** can also talk about her hump all day. Look at those [curves.](http://www.argosyjewellery.co.nz/aus%20opal.JPG)😉

Did she have her her cheeks sewn together? Shouldn’t it be x4?

Not that bad…tongue firmly in cheek it seems, so that makes it fun. Gwen Stefani on the other hand…yes, that song really is annoying.

But all of them have more [(and deeper)](http://www.lyricsfreak.com/g/george-harrison/59124.html) words than George Harrison’s “(Got My Mind) Set on You,” a significant percentage of whose unique lyrics are the song title.

Eh, everyone has a bad side. Hers just happens to be head-on. 😛 Maybe their next song will be called “My Butter Face.”\*

\*Great, when Fergie reads this my dreams are shot.

In George’s defense, he didn’t write that song, he just covered it.  
“Weird Al” Yankovic did a parody, “Tthis Song is Just Six Words Long.”

If you Google for lyrics, don’t hit the link, hit “Cached” if it’s available. That way you can see the lyrics and not get nasties.

For some reason, lyric sites have about as much crap as pr0n.

I look at porn all the time and never get anything like this. The damn lyrics site really infected my computer with some heinous shit that even Norton Antivirus can’t delete.

I had a lyric site so that once, too. I forget what it was, but whatever it was, MS Anti-Spyware caught it as it was trying to install, but apparantly was a tad too slow, because it had already affected my layered service provider. So MS Anti-Spyware deleted it, but since it was now gone, but my LSP was messed up, no internet for me. At the time, I didn’t know what an LSP was. It took lots of searching in the help file of the anti-spyware to figoure out how to fix it. What annoyed me, is that in the anti-spyware you can see a list of all the protocols in you LSP, but can’t do anything to them. It’s like tempting a kid with a candy bar, then snatching it out of view at the last second. Why can’t they jsut give you the option to delete the items? Especially ones it itself already has marked as BAD!

Bah. Nowhere near as stupid as Hotlegs’ “Neanderthal Man”:

“I’m a neatherthal man  
You’re a neanderthal girl  
Let’s make neandethal love  
In our neanderthal world.”

(Lather, rinse, and repeat)

At least the other examples make an attempt to rhyme.

Getting back to the OP, yes, the Black Eyed Peas suck. They suck bad.

I actually saw them live once, ironically enough, opening for No Doubt. They were roundly booed from the stage and they deserved it.
