…surely this can’t get any worse.  right?

MOTHERFUCKER

(found via this lovely lady’s flickr)

remember the Whitehead Brothers?

remember their song “Your Love is a 187?”

am i the ONLY one who thinks this song sucked, in retrospect??  i tweeted about it and everybody came rushing to their defense!  is it a nostalgia thing?  it HAS to be a nostalgia thing.  that song is straight up 4 minutes of horrendous metaphors, featuring:

• “You’re like a gangstress of love/so baby come and put a hit on me”
• “Baby you can pump like a gauge/or go faster than an automatic tec”
• “I’m yearnin’ for your 187/baby drop the bomb on me”

what kind of aural crack did they put in this song to make people like it??

check out the rest of the song discussion here, and please drop a line or two and let me know if i’m crazy, or if it’s everybody else that’s crazy.  (it’s usually the latter.)
