[In reviewing these lyrics](http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/blackeyedpeas/myhumps.html) I’m thinking that maybe they’re not as insanely retarded as they sound, and it’s possible they’re a brilliantly satyric commentary on contemporary sexual mores, and the sexual politics of urban culture. Any chance of this? ---

None whatsoever. ---

Nope. It’s just the dumbest, most irritating song ever written and it doesn’t get any deeper than that. ---

It’s a rap version of “I Know What Boys Like.” Nothing profound. ---

[QUOTE=amarinth] Lucky you, you’ve never heard “London Bridge” [/QUOTE] Have you ever noticed that “London Bridge” and “Hollaback Girl” are almost the same song? Seriously, try to sing “Hollaback Girl” to “London Bridge” and then weep in… terror? Fear? Disgust? ---
