Ok, so I am out of the loop when it comes to music because nothing new usually appeals to me

BUT

Here’s how I found this…

After waking up when Britney’s new song went off, I clicked on music news and saw “Gwenneth Paltrow is going to re-record Cee Lo Green’s F–k You.” I remembered Cee Lo Green’s name from my love of his song “Crazy”. I hadn’t heard this “F–k You”, yet, though. I you tubed paltrow and saw her singing on Glee a boring song called “Forget You”. I stopped watching Glee after the first season, so I don’t keep up with that.

So I searched for Cee Lo Green ‘you’. “Fuck You” came up and I watched the video, laughing the entire time. I LOVE THIS! As you know, one of my favorite things is lyrics that shouldn’t be sung. (Like Hedwig’s, “…my mother made my tits out of clay…”) This song sounds like a 50’s or 60’s Supreme’s song with totally updated/dirty lyrics! Excellent!

One thing I also like is when someone sings the out-of-place lyrics and the backup singers repeat it… making it even more legit! Totally rolling on the floor when they sing “ain’t that some shit”!!!!

Lyrics:

Fuck You Lyrics (from http://www.elyricsworld.com/fuck_you_lyrics_cee-lo_green.html)

(Chorus)
I see you driving ’round town
With the girl i love and i’m like,
Fuck you!
Oo, oo, ooo
I guess the change in my pocket
Wasn’t enough i’m like,
Fuck you!
And fuck her too!
I said, if i was richer, i’d still be with ya
Ha, now ain’t that some shit? (ain’t that some shit?)
And although there’s pain in my chest
I still wish you the best with a…
Fuck you!
Oo, oo, ooo

Yeah i’m sorry, i can’t afford a ferrari,
But that don’t mean i can’t get you there.
I guess he’s an xbox and i’m more atari,
But the way you play your game ain’t fair.

I picture the fool that falls in love with you
(oh shit she’s a gold digger)
Well
(just thought you should know nigga)
Ooooooh
I’ve got some news for you
Yeah go run and tell your little boyfriend

(chorus)

Now i know, that i had to borrow,
Beg and steal and lie and cheat.
Trying to keep ya, trying to please ya.
‘Cause being in love with you ass ain’t cheap.

I picture the fool that falls in love with you
(oh shit she’s a gold digger)
Well
(just thought you should know nigga)
Ooooooh

I’ve got some news for you
i really hate yo ass right now
(chorus)

Now baby, baby, baby, why d’you wanna wanna hurt me so bad?

(so bad, so bad, so bad)
I tried to tell my mamma but she told me
“this is one for your dad”
(your dad, your dad, your dad)
Uh! Whhhy? Uh! Whhhy? Uh!
Whhhy lady? Oh! I love you oh!
I still love you. Oooh!

(chorus)
