A while back I started a thread asking if anybody had heard "F*ck It" by Eamon and only got one response. Well the song is rising up the top 40 now so I have to assume some of you have heard it now.

I demand to hear what people think of Eamon. Anybody heard a promo of his upcoming debut? you can watch the video for "F*ck It" on his site, www.eamondoyle.com.

I refuse to believe nobody has any reaction to this song. It made my Pazz & Jop Top Ten singles this year.

um...I thought it was pretty poor. Boring production, his voice is kinda thin, just seemed like a by-the-book late 80s/early 90s R&B with a injection of macho swearing and bitch baiting so, you know, 50 Cent fans can like it without being called pussies.

― M@tt He1geson (Matt Helgeson), Saturday, 17 January 2004 21:00 (twenty-one years ago)

I'd assume this guy was to R&B what the Darkness is to hair metal, but the more I find out about this guy the more it seems like he's not kidding at all. The video is outrageous.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Saturday, 17 January 2004 21:04 (twenty-one years ago)

This song, Murphy Lee's "What's The Hook Gon Be?" and Nickelback's "My Favorite Disease" are the two songs I most get google hits looking for lyrics from on my site. Which is really, really odd.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Saturday, 17 January 2004 21:09 (twenty-one years ago)

I'd assume this guy was to R&B what the Darkness is to hair metal

...or a more polished Har Mar Superstar....

(what's your website?)

― M@tt He1geson (Matt Helgeson), Saturday, 17 January 2004 21:17 (twenty-one years ago)

What the Hook Gon Be just never gets old for me....

and these young dudes done paid young dude's dues, dude.

― M@tt He1geson (Matt Helgeson), Saturday, 17 January 2004 21:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Anthony Is Right. Evidently people assume I have the lyrics to Nickelback songs on it. I don't.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Saturday, 17 January 2004 21:22 (twenty-one years ago)

well, it can hardly be called a website, then, can it?

I been wrong!

I been down!

To the bottom every bottle!

― M@tt He1geson (Matt Helgeson), Saturday, 17 January 2004 21:38 (twenty-one years ago)

two weeks pass...

This song has been getting fairly heavy airplay around here and I like it, mostly cause there's cussing! Hooray for cussing!

― Dan I., Monday, 2 February 2004 02:37 (twenty-one years ago)

I swear to you, on one of the verses I'm pretty sure he says something like "I'm sorry I was dating a whore" which is just like, what? I'm completely unconvinced this is serious, wtf?

― Allyzay, Wednesday, 4 February 2004 14:50 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm sorry he was dating a whore too

― Dadaismus (Dada), Wednesday, 4 February 2004 14:56 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm not. If it results in a song and video as funny as this one, he should exclusively date whores.

― Allyzay, Wednesday, 4 February 2004 14:57 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm glad I found this thread. I saw a video for this on MTV2 this-morning while trying to convince myself to go to work, and I really couldn't tell if it was a joke (by which I mean an intentional joke) or not. Now I'm just convinced that he either has some truly serious dirt on someone or just stuck a truckload of horses heads in various music industy execs beds.

― mmmmsalt (Graeme), Wednesday, 4 February 2004 17:55 (twenty-one years ago)

It's catchy, his voice is pretty sweet and the chorus includes the line, "Fuck you, you ho." Gotta be a classic.

― Salmon Pink (Salmon Pink), Thursday, 5 February 2004 02:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Lazy ass songwriting. Kisses that "don't mean shit" in one line "don't mean jack" in another (you know, so he can rhyme it with "don't want you back.") And the video is obnoxious. Dud.

― Salmon Pink (Salmon Pink), Thursday, 5 February 2004 02:53 (twenty-one years ago)

HAW HAW HAW I WAS RIGHT ALLLL ALONGGGGG. THIS SONG IS FUCKING HIIIIIILARIOUS. I MEAN SERRYUSSLY this is not a joke. God help me THIS SONG IS NOT A FUCKING JOKE. What the fuck? Staten Island whitey gets to scream I WAS DATING A HO and he gets a top 40 hit? What the serious fuck.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 5 February 2004 07:05 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm so glad this will be on my permanent record as a Pazz'n'Jop Top Ten single for 2003. I beat the bell curve yo.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 5 February 2004 07:06 (twenty-one years ago)

oh man. seriously if you ever find out how yer dating a ho what you gotta do is take her to an outdoor pizza bistro. Then RIGHT when the pepperoni arrives you start ripping into her and then around the third verse you just fah-LING that pizza across the place cuz GAWDAMN if it ain't bad enuff you caught her cheating now she's gonna know that she's not gonna have any pizza. This video is some sorta gospel. TAKE NOTES.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 5 February 2004 07:26 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm not that into it. Sorry.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 5 February 2004 07:29 (twenty-one years ago)

the important thing is that you tried.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 5 February 2004 07:32 (twenty-one years ago)

one month passes...

So has anyone else heard the album? I'm listening for the first time right now and so far it's about half really great and half pretty bland.

― Colin Beckett (Colin Beckett), Sunday, 7 March 2004 23:18 (twenty-one years ago)

i kept hearing about a response record by some girl supposedly the original song was written about called "fuck you back". forget who it's by though

― JaXoN (JasonD), Sunday, 7 March 2004 23:51 (twenty-one years ago)

"Fuck You Right Back" by Frankee (or Frankie) is hitting the airwaves big time around here. it's a pretty funny response, lines like "your sex was wack / fuck you right back" and the like. though i'm sure it will lose its flavor even faster than the Eamon original.

― jonviachicago, Sunday, 7 March 2004 23:57 (twenty-one years ago)

The video is pure comedy. It scans kind of like the consolation prize to the first runner-up at the Color Me Badd auditions.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 8 March 2004 00:00 (twenty-one years ago)

'the video gives you a visual picture of what he is talking about in 'F**k It''

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Monday, 8 March 2004 00:03 (twenty-one years ago)

this is terrible.

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 8 March 2004 00:18 (twenty-one years ago)

The song is terrible but I do like it in a "watching a car crash into a pile of dead babies" way.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 8 March 2004 00:20 (twenty-one years ago)

two songs on this album are the first guilty pleasures ive had in years! he's like a more annoying 4th singing beastie boy and yet those catchy ho-wop melodies mean i keep putting those mp3s ('i'd rather fuck with you' and 'get off my dick' to be specific) back in the queue :/

― jeremy jordan (cruisy), Monday, 8 March 2004 00:24 (twenty-one years ago)

To me, that single sounds exactly like Leo Sayer. This is a criticism.

― All Bunged Up. (Jake Proudlock), Monday, 8 March 2004 00:25 (twenty-one years ago)

haha eamon is the first TRUE emo-"rap" star (in the nu-emo sense). mmmm passive-aggressive misogyny.

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 8 March 2004 00:41 (twenty-one years ago)

seriously aside from the obvious musical/sonic strictures imposed by individual genres (and the attendant cultural baggage [practice lookin hard vs. precious moments eyeballs]) please tell me how this bullshit differs from dashboard confessional

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 8 March 2004 00:42 (twenty-one years ago)

(aside from the fact that i'd rather have sizzling hot needles inserted into my urethra than listen to d.c. ever again, and eamon just kinda bugs me.)

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 8 March 2004 00:46 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm yet to hear a NORE/DC collabo.

― Colin Beckett (Colin Beckett), Monday, 8 March 2004 01:07 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm=I've

― Colin Beckett (Colin Beckett), Monday, 8 March 2004 01:07 (twenty-one years ago)

But how is passive-agressive misogyny new to R&B?

― Colin Beckett (Colin Beckett), Monday, 8 March 2004 01:08 (twenty-one years ago)

mmmm it's not obv, but there's just something about this guy that screams EMO at me.

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 8 March 2004 01:11 (twenty-one years ago)

maybe its the name (haw haw)

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 8 March 2004 01:11 (twenty-one years ago)

His whiteness?

― Colin Beckett (Colin Beckett), Monday, 8 March 2004 01:12 (twenty-one years ago)

Haha

― Colin Beckett (Colin Beckett), Monday, 8 March 2004 01:12 (twenty-one years ago)

haha colin shhh dont point at the elephant

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 8 March 2004 01:12 (twenty-one years ago)

He's like Cody Chesnutt without the sense of humor, which probably doesn't sound like an endorsment. I'm pretty indiscriminating when it comes to R&B.

― Colin Beckett (Colin Beckett), Monday, 8 March 2004 01:17 (twenty-one years ago)

i really, really, REALLY react badly to even the hint of possible not-really-meaning-it in R&B.

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 8 March 2004 01:19 (twenty-one years ago)

r. kelly gets away with it because he always looks like the ridiculousness spilling out of his mouth is DEATHLY SERIOUS.

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 8 March 2004 01:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Eamon means it!

― Colin Beckett (Colin Beckett), Monday, 8 March 2004 01:21 (twenty-one years ago)

r. dresses like a big gay zorro and yet has this face on that's like jake lamotta's at the end of raging bull

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 8 March 2004 01:21 (twenty-one years ago)

R. means it too! Which is why he's the greatest thing in the world, instead of the worst.

― Colin Beckett (Colin Beckett), Monday, 8 March 2004 01:22 (twenty-one years ago)

I didn't mean to invoke "World's Greatest"

― Colin Beckett (Colin Beckett), Monday, 8 March 2004 01:22 (twenty-one years ago)

the problem with eamon is his terrible voice!!

― jeremy jordan (cruisy), Monday, 8 March 2004 01:22 (twenty-one years ago)

also: his sucking.

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 8 March 2004 01:23 (twenty-one years ago)

He went to my high school. My sister knew him. Said we was a loser.

Wifey thinks the song is funny (we live in Staten Island). I just think it sucks

Dude, Jel, Eamon knocks over the pizza at the end of the video! He waits till the pizza gets there to bitch her out so that he knows she's getting hungry to eat the pizza. Then at the last second he FLINGS that pie across the table, sayin' you can't fuck with him and you SURE AS FUCK AIN'T GETTING NO PIZZA.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 15 April 2004 18:41 (twenty-one years ago)

I suddenly love this song even more.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Friday, 16 April 2004 15:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Because I hate it?

― Aja (aja), Friday, 16 April 2004 15:24 (twenty-one years ago)

sayin' you can't fuck with him and you SURE AS FUCK AIN'T GETTING NO PIZZA

But Frankee has proved that she can fuck with him and she SURE AS FUCK DON'T NEED NO PIZZA. Fuck him, his pizza was wack.

I mean really, why would anyone side with Eamon over Frankee?

― The Lex (The Lex), Friday, 16 April 2004 15:25 (twenty-one years ago)

I like the Frankee version even better than the Eamon one! But that doesn't mean that his version is terrible, it's a good song.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Friday, 16 April 2004 15:38 (twenty-one years ago)

It is a good song, but I can't get past Eamon's noxious whine of a voice, it's grating in a horribly emo sort of way and reminds me of the dread Durst. Even if Frankee didn't exist I'd side with the girl in the Eamon song.

― The Lex (The Lex), Friday, 16 April 2004 15:43 (twenty-one years ago)

I've never heard the reply song, but I immediately side with the girl, as Eamon is a whiney, potty-mouthed, inarticulate slackjaw.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, 16 April 2004 16:08 (twenty-one years ago)

Emonem!

― jel -- (jel), Friday, 16 April 2004 16:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Anyone got any thoughts on this compared to Shysties version of / riposte to, Dizzee’s I Luv You? I think there should be more response songs in modern pop given how misogynistic and homophobic most of it inherently is.

― myke boomnoise (myke boomnoise), Friday, 16 April 2004 23:31 (twenty-one years ago)

I haven't heard the Frankee song yet. It got crazy hate on the local R&B station. There seems to be a lot of Eamon love in this town.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Saturday, 17 April 2004 16:16 (twenty-one years ago)

The unironic kind, frighteningly enough.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Saturday, 17 April 2004 16:16 (twenty-one years ago)

I think there should be more response songs in modern pop given how misogynistic and homophobic most of it inherently is.

True dat, but first there have to be more women and gay men in genres like hip-hop and garage to do the response songs. (And more love given to the ones who ARE there - I've only skimmed the grime thread, but Lady Fury is only mentioned like two or three times!) Shystie is wicked.

― The Lex (The Lex), Saturday, 17 April 2004 16:30 (twenty-one years ago)

This song is great.

― Ronan (Ronan), Saturday, 17 April 2004 17:46 (twenty-one years ago)

I heard the unedited version and it ruined the mystery for me.

― christhamrin (christhamrin), Saturday, 17 April 2004 17:55 (twenty-one years ago)

I love Eamon's release of F**k It (I don't want you back. Frankee copied his version! I'm not saying it's a shit reply coz her song is wicked, but Eamon just rules! I love him and so do all my mates. I love the way they have replied to each other, but is Eamon's song for Frankee? Apparently I heard it was fro another ex-girlfriend called Andrea? Is this right? Anyway Eamon's song is better - I love it and Frankee's song comes as a second in my personal chart at the moment!

Macho rubbish BUT the version sung by that bird is just the same (where she's telling a guy to get fucked) so maybe it's about time you had a song where a guy's telling some nasty lass to stick it.

so the new single is the opening track, "I Love Them."

Only he's added a word to the title (and chorus).

It's now "I Love Them Ho's."

The video is on launch.com.

omg.

Milk Dee is prominently displayed in the video, you Audio Two fans.

― CeCe Peniston (Anthony Miccio), Saturday, 26 June 2004 13:48 (twenty-one years ago)

ok actually I just discovered that he didn't ADD the word "ho's" the promo copy I got when I reviewed this was clean so they had taken out the word "ho's" (what is up with that apostrophe?). For some reason they're keeping it now (at least on Launch). I really wish this was added after the fact.

― CeCe Peniston (Anthony Miccio), Saturday, 26 June 2004 13:51 (twenty-one years ago)

three months pass...

Revive, as I just got a copy of the album.
It's terrible in a fascinating way. As I listen to it, I can TELL I'll be tired of it in two days; but it's great for the moment.
Utterly disposable... just like he turned out to be.
Whence Eamon these days? Opening for William Hung?

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 20 October 2004 20:48 (twenty years ago)

Though truth be told, there may be a few keepers on here: "Fuck You" is still pretty tasty and I like "Get Off my Dick" and "Ho-Wop" enough that they may stay in rotation.
"Fuck You" seems like a likely OMGWTFLOL winner of the future.
Forget dub Hung, E. should be opening for Snow.

ugh I just had the displeasure of hearing this goddamn song again this morning for the first time in 4 years! god I thought it was horrible when.

but whether or not the Frankee version was staged (uh, it totally was), some really lame disses throughout. She faked orgasms? OMG AN "EVERY WOMAN IN THE WORLD" SHOCKER. even my most recent ex admitted she did on occasion (but wouldn't tell me if she did with me, lol).

"What I did was your fault somehow"= I'M RIGHT BUT KANT BE BOTHERED TO COME UP WITH A SUPPORTING ARGUMENT SO LIKE FUK U...

lol at the "your sex was wack". i'd rather be told I sucked in bed by a female than be told nothing at all by a gym towel or a sock....

― Ballistic, Sunday, 7 March 2010 18:03 (fifteen years ago)

"fuck What I did, it was your fault somehow" - this line made me totally hate frankee and decide eamon probably was right for calling her out as a ho. anyway i found this song mildly amusing when it came out, and i'm kinda getting nostalgic for it now. wonder if it's still on my hard drive somewhere? (probably not)
