So I have this cd in my car that someone left at my work. Its a Top 40 hits compilation from 4-5 years ago. It is strictly back-up for when my ipod dies as the radio stations here are all Marshallese (and suck.... sorry, but they do). Anyways, this cd has a song on it called (I had to look this up) "Beautiful" by Akon. I'll be honest, and admit that this type of music is really not my cup of tea. I'm more of a metal/hard rock kind of guy with a mixture of reggae, classic rock, alternative, and a little of everything else. But alas, the cd is in my car and better than nothing.

Getting back to this Akon song... I think the lyrics have to be the worst lyrics I have ever heard. Example: "I'll spend these grands, but after you undress. Not like a hooker, but more like a princess". What?... Seriously? So what you're saying is you'll spend lots of money on her, but only after she has sex with you? Oh, but you don't want her to take that the wrong way. You're not trying to compare spending money on her only after she "puts out" to a prostitution/John-like transaction. Its more like a fairy tale... where the princess has sex with you.... for money. Rrrrrright.

Admittedly that is by far the worst lyric of the song in my opinion, but the rest of the song is not much better. It sounds to me like the worst womanizing asshole guy is trying his hardest to write a romantic song, but is incapable of thinking of women are anything but just receptacles for his penis. So he is attempting to say romantic things, not realizing that they are actually quite offensive... and/or borderline retarded.

What is most amazing to me, is this song was HUGE. Griping about a song like this makes me wonder... Am I getting smarter, or just becoming an old man that complains about "the kids nowadays and their crazy hippity-hoppy music"?

Now.... GET OFF MY LAWN YA DAMN KIDS!!! (shakes fist in air from my front porch while...
