Feels like not spelling the name Swiipe Riight was a missed opportunity.

^ well upon getting further into song in OP that video is not like it at all. anyway i take any opportunity to post that vid

I can't get over that Childish Gambino lyric. It may be the dumbest thing ever written.

WAKE UP PEOPLE! This is clearly a joke.

WAKE UP SHEEPLE, jonaknowles says this song is a joke!

The Swype Right track reminds me of 'Gary & Melissa' by King Missle.

It's a joke on the people that watched the whole video and couldn't come up with anything clever or funny to post. So I think OP should take 50% of the blame. And now I also blame myself and everybody else.

by the time it had gotten to that point i had expected no shortage of very cringeworthy lines and yet the childish gambino one still managed to shock upon arrival

Oddly enough, I'd expect that exact same lyric from an actual Childish Gambino track.

lol

seems like they're taking cues from Yoni Wolf's self-deprecating emo-sleazeball persona, while completely missing everything that is actually appealing about his music

video removed by user, i guess i'll never see it

Ha! Not only that, but they blanked their Instagram and Facebook pages.

We killed a problem band before it got out of hand. We need to use this power for good.

damn looks like I got to this thread just in time

Fucking bullies. How dare you all. How dare you.

Snark is poison and it's smothering our babies in their cribs.

These young people were just trying to express themselves and you all just wore hate graffiti on their locker.

Lame-ass jocks. Too afraid of anything beautiful.

RIP Swype Right you were too good for this world

What did they sound like btw I didn't get to see the video

2nd post itt pretty much nails it. It was some dillweed recounting his texting/sexting courtship with a girl (to us? to the girl?) that ended up with him not being able to get a boner. All over some moody guitar.

also the entire second half of the song (after he finishes the story) is just him repeating "I shoulda never had that whiskey"

guess you could say the lyric has exactly the opposite problem of the narrator: it finishes too soon

If you're as young as that dude seems to be, whiskey didn't kill your boner. Your dick is broken. See a doctor.

Wow quick work everyone

I've been curious how you came across that so fresh. PR email blast or what?

lol, got 'em

Johnny - a friend runs a (very) small local mpls music blog that runs show photos/album reviews but they've been around long enough to get on PR email lists & he posted on Facebook

let me guess -- he posted this on facebook, then you got to texting, then you heard the song, then you got to sexting

did yall actually comment on the youtube page? or just itt?

(ned raggett's fbook brought me here)

I was the only youtube comment afaik, and I just said "No."

lol

i tweeted about it

let me guess -- he posted this on facebook, then you got to texting, then you heard the song, then you got to sexting
