dan perry otmfm earlier on some other thread i can't be arsed to look for about 'now i understand completely how this has become such a huge hit'

― cinniblount (James Blount), Monday, 15 December 2003 03:06 (twenty-one years ago)

it's bootylicious ned

― cinniblount (James Blount), Monday, 15 December 2003 03:07 (twenty-one years ago)

Sex sells? Surely you jest.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 15 December 2003 03:07 (twenty-one years ago)

it's boobylicious, surely.

i have conflicted emotions about kelis entirely "rebranding".

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 15 December 2003 03:09 (twenty-one years ago)

i mean to an extent it's 'well damn this tack is alot less interesting than kelis99' but at the same i have a hardon

there's some 'uptown top ranking' remake on mtv: has there been a thread on this? how behind am i on this?

But it worked so well for Jewel...oh.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 15 December 2003 03:10 (twenty-one years ago)

i'm an assman jess

― cinniblount (James Blount), Monday, 15 December 2003 03:10 (twenty-one years ago)

haha nancy emailed me after she saw it for the first time and said: "the feminist in me feels queasy but the lesbian in me is excited."

x-post, oh me, too, but you know "milkshake" and all.

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 15 December 2003 03:11 (twenty-one years ago)

nas is a shortorder cook in it, there's lots of not so subtle haw haw with the food (sunny side up eggs et cetera)

― cinniblount (James Blount), Monday, 15 December 2003 03:12 (twenty-one years ago)

i am sure nas is a lovely man, but there's a reason he's a "rugged street poet" and not big daddy kane.

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 15 December 2003 03:13 (twenty-one years ago)

or sir mix-a-lot.

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 15 December 2003 03:13 (twenty-one years ago)

he's a 'rugged short order cook'! scattered smothered and covered nas!

― cinniblount (James Blount), Monday, 15 December 2003 03:14 (twenty-one years ago)

i know i can! make scrambled eggs with cheese!

― cinniblount (James Blount), Monday, 15 December 2003 03:14 (twenty-one years ago)

speaking of being behind the times...was anyone else aware there's a new biz markie single with diddy on it?!

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 15 December 2003 03:15 (twenty-one years ago)

Now I'm imagining some truly filthy hollandaise sauce (ya know, like the milk in The Girl Can't Help It).

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 15 December 2003 03:15 (twenty-one years ago)

getting a cd player in my truck and a playstation has ruined my 'keeping on top of pop' skillz

― cinniblount (James Blount), Monday, 15 December 2003 03:16 (twenty-one years ago)

TURN IN YOUR BADGE

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 15 December 2003 03:16 (twenty-one years ago)

i am so SICK OF THE FUCKING RADIO (the cd player in the car is busted).

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 15 December 2003 03:17 (twenty-one years ago)

baby baby Baby that stuff is driving me crazy!

― cinniblount (James Blount), Monday, 15 December 2003 03:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Do what I do and listen to Smashing Pumpkins bootlegs. Though I suspect you would not appreciate this approach.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 15 December 2003 03:24 (twenty-one years ago)

I haven't seen the video but I definitely like the song more than "Caught Out There" and "Young, Fresh And New," the only other Kelis I've heard. This one's at least a pretty decent jump rope song.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Monday, 15 December 2003 03:26 (twenty-one years ago)

the video almost makes me like the song, but nope, it still sucks. don't know what the conflict here is -- so an unsubtly sexual song is cheapened by an unsubtly sexual video? how does that work?

― Al (sitcom), Monday, 15 December 2003 03:44 (twenty-one years ago)

christ she's hot in this

― mark p (Mark P), Monday, 15 December 2003 03:45 (twenty-one years ago)

who said the video was conflicted?

― cinniblount (James Blount), Monday, 15 December 2003 03:46 (twenty-one years ago)

her perfomance on 106 & park on friday was so half-assed.

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 15 December 2003 03:47 (twenty-one years ago)

there was this hot as hell white dancer in a fly ass orange track suit though.

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 15 December 2003 03:47 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah that performance was way weak. I got hyped for a second at the beginning when they had a guy drumming the beat go-go style on an upturned bucket, but then the DJ put on the real beat and it got dull.

― Al (sitcom), Monday, 15 December 2003 03:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Is anyone besides me turned off by being told so forcefully to be turned on?

― Clarke B., Monday, 15 December 2003 04:39 (twenty-one years ago)

it's the american way.

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 15 December 2003 04:40 (twenty-one years ago)

i hope everyone in heaven has a big butt

I just saw this for the first time and mr teeny came downstairs and caught the last half of it. His verdict: "the 90s and 00s will be known as the golden age of strip club music."

― teeny (teeny), Sunday, 28 December 2003 01:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Well, I like the beat, so screw all you guys.

However the lyrics sound like someone put a gun to her head and said MAKE A HIT SONG NOW YOUVE GOT 5 SECONDS

― David Allen, Sunday, 28 December 2003 01:15 (twenty-one years ago)

that's a good way to write songs. they did it all the time in the 60s.

what's wrong with the video anyway? if the premise is 'Kelis is sexy' which i assume it is, then it's a pretty successful promo.

― stevem (blueski), Sunday, 28 December 2003 01:26 (twenty-one years ago)

Before the song hit really big, the the radio station here was playing this awseome version with an Egyptian-y beat that's way better, but I haven't been able to find it.

― Colin Beckett (Colin Beckett), Sunday, 28 December 2003 01:47 (twenty-one years ago)

two weeks pass...

i heard/saw this for the first time tonight. i could dance to it, no problem. the video didn't look much different from any other music video in the "raunchy" sense.

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Tuesday, 13 January 2004 14:15 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, I don't really get all the talk about the video either.. The Egyptian beat is for me the normal version, is there any other one??

― Baaderist (Fabfunk), Tuesday, 13 January 2004 14:27 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't get the 'conflicted emotions' at all, it's a sexy video for a sexy song.

― The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 13 January 2004 20:18 (twenty-one years ago)

But if you think it's really cliched sexiness and you have nothing but disdain for cliche, yet it still arouses you.... TA-DA! conflicting emotions.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 13 January 2004 20:41 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't think it's clichéd sexiness at all though, it's exactly what I imagined the video would be like when I heard the song, which is certainly not a cliché.

― The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 13 January 2004 20:53 (twenty-one years ago)

Evidently it's too hott fer my local station (my only source of vids), but it'd be better if they'd made it a literal interpretation of the track (ie Kelis taking new recruits to milk bar through their induction) yes?

Talk to my agent.

― Enrique (Enrique), Wednesday, 14 January 2004 12:49 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah what enrique says - the potential for something actually funny was there

― a, Tuesday, 20 January 2004 03:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Cos like the humour of the song is the tension between the playground sweetness and the sexual toughness possessed by both music and lyrics - a lovely example of organic form even in classical Coleridgean terms! - but that was all lost in the video, surprise

conflicted emotions about king magazine this month

Catholics beware.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 4 February 2004 05:36 (twenty-one years ago)

ok story on kelis in the paper today, two things

1) her and the neptunes have had a falling out, won't be working together again

2) her and nas have a house in atlanta specifically to have loud sex in

― cinniblount (James Blount), Wednesday, 4 February 2004 22:54 (twenty-one years ago)

BORING

― Jon Williams (ex machina), Thursday, 5 February 2004 03:14 (twenty-one years ago)

how did you get into a college?

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 5 February 2004 03:18 (twenty-one years ago)

actually the article in the king magazine (which i may eventually buy)(except i'm really really hesitant to buy a lad mag, even if it's a hip-hop lad mag)(though if i do buy it it will primarily for the purposes of masturbating) has her really blasting the neptunes, star trak, etc. in detail. plus apparently she gave nas the what's happening dvd for xmas.
