"Summer Girls" lyrics poll

Went for "Think about that summer and I bug cause I miss it". Emotional heart of the song.

Livejournal's OhNoTheyDidnt had a lot of fun with one of the LFO guys, Rich Cronin:

That said, "Chinese food makes me sick." It's just a fact.

Is he the one that was gonna die a few years ago?

top 5, no, top 10:
1. Chinese food makes me sick
2. I'll steal your honey like I stole your bike
3. I like kevin bacon, but I hate footloose
4. Michael J. Fox was Alex P. keaton
5. Billy Shakespeare wrote a whole bunch of sonnets
6. Think about that summer and I bug cause I miss it
7. You look like a girl from Abercrombie and Fitch
8. Somethin' in your eyes went and drove me crazy
9. You love hip-hop and rock & roll
10. Used to hate school, so I had to play hookie

the 50/50 ratio of "something on-topic/random pop culture reference" in this song is like the blueprint for an episode of Family Guy.

Yeah.. leukemia maybe? The whole ONTD thing was pretty funny, though, he was eating up the attention while pretending to hate it all.

Pretty much every line in this song is gold, on reflection.

I think when all is said and down, this song is the only positive effect that the Beastie Boys have ever had on society.

Let you off the hook like my man mr. limpit

Voted "Dad took off when you were 4 years old," because where the hell did that come from?

Is a "Heaven is a Halfpipe" poll next?

"One Week"

like kevin bacon; hate footloose

Voted for "Billy Shakespeare" because I lol at the way dude pronounces "sonnets" to force a rhyme with "hornet."

There was a good man named Paul Revere

How do you disagree with that? I mean, HOW?

Boogaloo shrimp and pogo sticks

??

i'm trying to remember if chinese food has ever made me sick and i don't think it ever has.

he's from Boston, so I think in his mind/dialect those words rhyme naturally.

Call me Willy Whistle cause I can't speak baby

the 50/50 ratio of "something on-topic/random pop culture reference"

I knew a guy once that invented a sort of half-baked party game based on this song - one person had to offer a generic observation about romance, the summer, etc, and the other would have to produce a rhymed random pop culture reference. His sample couplet: "I love you so my dearest one / Luke turned out to be Vader's son." It turns out that it's not very hard to write this song.

Me either - but it could be that he means "make me sick" in a more detached state of general disgust. Compare to the cringe-inducing Chinese food segment of Discombobulatorbubluator.

They drink lemonade and speak real slow

"The Discombobulatorbubalator" is spoken in the rhyming rap style that has been popular for several years, especially among young people.

lol 1986

Ruby red slippers and a bunch of trees

^^^ huge oversight of my top 10

Think about that summer and I bug cause I miss it is very, very romantic.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

I'd like to vote for the line that indicates we are "the worst breed of fong"

Is that even an actual term, that actually means something?

meh, this jackass

alternate challenging top 10 - I like how a few of these seem deeply out of step with the general vibe, there's this dark undercurrent completely repressed in the performance...

Chinese food makes me sick
McCaullay Culkin was in Home Alone
When I met you I said my name was Rich
They drink lemonade and speak real slow
Dad took off when you were 4 years old
You love fun dip and cherry coke
Cherry pez, coke, crush rock, stud boogie
I'll steal your honey like I stole your bike
Like the color purple, macaroni and cheese
Ruby red slippers and a bunch of trees

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

no lie, this is one of my favorite boy band songs.

were there ever any remixes/mashups of this?

When I met you I said my name was Rich
You look like a girl from Abercrombie and Fitch.

“Call me Willy Whistle cause I can't speak baby” deserved a vote or two
