In which I explain why the Black Eyed Peas are OK in my book

07 November 2005

Anyone living under a rock hasn't heard "My Humps" by the Black Eyed Peas yet. At first I was like the rest of you, I couldn't stand it for more than 2 microseconds before I wanted to punch Fergie in the face. My god does she have to sing like she's 12 and change her voice for every god damned song?

But then, then something happened. I ... I apologize because this is really hard... I started liking it.

And you know what? I've come to terms with my affection for this song because I've finally found sweet justification. Sweet, sweet justification thanks to my walking, talking hip-hop, R&B library in the form of one floridian best friend. "My Humps"? It sounds *just* like the baseline to "Wild Thing" by Tone Loc. Am I right here? You can't dis the "Wild Thing"!

"My Humps" is ok in my book now, and should be in yours as well.

That is all. Rock.

Yes everyone loves the Wild Thing ;) and I hated "My Humps" to, but only for a moment.

I'm the reverse. I'll admit to enjoying "My Humps" for the first two listens. Then it started rotting my soul. Maybe one day I'll come around to a sort of ironic acceptance, as I have with Tone Loc. But that will probably come after months of healing.
