What it wrong with me?
 

I am deeply disturbed that I like the following songs:

Ashlee Simpson: "Boyfriend" (Just damn catchy)

Faith Hill: "Like We Never Loved At All" (or whatever it's called - it's the sweet retro video that sucked me in.)

Kanye West: "Gold Digger" (I have no explanation for this. None.)

I do NOT usually like fluffy little Top 40 pop tunes. As penance, I am going to play nothing but Mac for the next 24 hours. Forgive me Stevie, for I have sinned. :o

OMG! I am obsessed with Kayne West-Gold Digger! Soo good. lol

Glad to see you are back and ok. :)

I get that way too, sometimes. I don't know those particular songs, but don't feel bad- it happens to all of us. :wavey:

Aw, don't worry about it, although I do see your cause for conern. If it makes you feel any better, I have "Milkshake" on my ipod. And I NEVER skip it. :distress:

Don't feel bad Paula - I can't get enough of Gold Digger either. And I really don't like Kanye for many reasons. Just something about the groove, and even the lyrics.

Only heard the radio version though - is there a certain word missing from the chorus? (During the "broke, broke" part?) It just seems that way to me. :shrug:

Haven't heard the other 2 though, so you're on your own there. ;)

Paula, it's ok, really!! Everything will be just fine.

Now I am dying to hear the Kanye West song. I am not sure if I heard it before or not!

Yupe. On the cd it goes broke... and then the "N" word.. ending with az. That's the only difference. Excellent tune, I love it too. Two others tunes on the cd are excellent to, one called "Mama" and one called Heard Em Say (feat adam levine of maroon 5).

Paula,

My sympathies. I am currently addicted to Madonna's new song, and still have this thing for Kelly Clarkson's music that I just can't explain. :o

Madonna and Kelly are great. No need to be embarrassed. :xoxo:

:nod:

He always has great banners.

OK I guess that I'll admit that I got hooked on that Golddigger song, too. The first time that I heard it I was like OK this is a stupid song and later in the day guess what song was stuck in my head?:o
I believe that it is a either a sample of Ray Charles OR Jamie Foxx doing a RC tribute. I don't know.
Does anyone have the lyrics that they can post?

I do. It's a pretty wonderful song, and Kanye's a studio genius (as is John Brion). "Fluffy Top 40" is not the first adjective that I would think of to describe it.

I know you can figure this one out, dear. The title of the song is "Gold Digger." Now let's check for context clues:

"Now I ain't sayin' she a gold digger
But she ain't messin' wit' no broke _____"

"Trigger" doesn't really make much sense. Nor does "snigger." "Chigger?" Could work, but nothing else in the lyrics implies that she's into entymology...

I like the Faith song "Like we never loved at all"! :nod: :wavey:

That is Jamie Foxx doing his Ray Charles thing. I didn't especially care for "Gold Digger" the first time I heard it either, but Kanye's music really rewards repeated listening (especially under headphones).

Here's the lyrics, as per some random website:

[Jamie Foxx]
She take my money when I'm in need
Yea she's a triflin friend indeed
Oh she's a gold digga way over town
That digs on me

[Chorus]
(She did me wrong)
Now I aint sayin she a gold digger (When I'm Need)
But she aint messin wit no broke niggaz
(She did me wrong)
Now I aint sayin she a gold digger (When I'm need)
but she aint messin wit no broke niggaz
get down girl go head get down (I gotta leave)
get down girl go head get down (I gotta leave)
get down girl go head get down (I gotta leave)
get down girl go head

[Verse 1]
Cutie the bomb
Met her at a beauty salon
With a baby louis vuitton
Under her underarm
She said I can tell you ROC
I can tell by ya charm
Far as girls you got a flock
I can tell by ya charm and ya arm
but I'm lookin for the one
have you seen her
My psychic told me she have a ass like Serena
Trina, Jennifer Lopez, four kids
An i gotta take all they bad ass to show-biz
Ok get ya kids but then they got their friends
I Pulled up in the Benz, they all got up In
We all went to Den and then I had to pay
If you f**kin with this girl then you betta be payed
You know why
It take too much to touch her
From what I heard she got a baby by Busta
My best friend say she use to **** wit Usher
I dont care what none of yall say I still love her

[Chorus]
(She did me wrong)
Now I aint sayin she a gold digger (When I'm Need)
But she aint messin wit no broke niggaz
(She did me wrong)
Now I aint sayin she a gold digger (When I'm need)
but she aint messin wit no broke niggaz
get down girl go head get down (I gotta leave)
get down girl go head get down (I gotta leave)
get down girl go head get down (I gotta leave)
get down girl go head

[Verse 2]
18 years, 18 years
She got one of yo kids got you for 18 years
I know somebody payin child support for one of his kids
His baby momma's car and crib is bigger than his
You will see him on TV Any Given Sunday
Win the Superbowl and drive off in a Hyundai
She was spose to buy ya shorty TYCO with ya money
She went to the doctor got lypo with ya money
She walkin around lookin like Micheal with ya money
Should of got that insured got GEICO for ya moneeey
If you aint no punk holla We Want Prenup
WE WANT PRENUP! Yeaah
It's something that you need to have
Cause when she leave yo ass she gone leave with half
18 years, 18 years
And on her 18th birthday he found out it wasn't his

[Chorus]
(She did me wrong)
Now I aint sayin she a gold digger (When I'm Need)
But she aint messin wit no broke niggaz
(She did me wrong)
Now I aint sayin she a gold digger (When I'm need)
but she aint messin wit no broke niggaz
get down girl go head get down (I gotta leave)
get down girl go head get down (I gotta leave)
get down girl go head get down (I gotta leave)
get down girl go head

[Verse 3]
Now I aint sayin you a gold digger you got needs
You dont want ya dude to smoke but he can't buy weed
You got out to eat and he cant pay yall cant leave
There's dishes in the back, he gotta roll up his sleeves
But why yall washin watch him
He gone make it into a Benz out of that Datson
He got that ambition baby look in his eyes
This week he moppin floorz next week it's the fries
So, stick by his side
I know his dude's ballin but yea thats nice
And they gone keep callin and tryin
But you stay right girl
But when you get on he leave yo ass for a white girl

Get down girl go head get down
Get down girl go head get down
get down girl go head get down
get down girl go head
(can you play that back)

Thank you for posting the lyrics!:) It cleared a few things up.

me too. thought the video was nicely done also.

Yeah, I know, I just didn't really want to get into labelling all of my scary new favorite songs. :laugh: I don't usually like...hiphop? Rap? R&B? Whatever you want to call it, I love this tune. Happened to me last year with Outkast's "I Like the Way You Move" too.

Oh. And I also don't hate Mariah's "Shake It Off" either. :shocked: Forgive me, Deanna.

That, my friend, is what got me. :nod: Hot & sexy retro Faith & Tim.

:laugh:

That's what I guessed, since I hadn't heard the unedited version. I'm still disappointed with Missy Elliott for leaving those stupid elephant screams in "Work It". Especially after I went to several different stores looking for the "dirty" version of her album.

Oh, great, you brought up Missy Elliot. Well, now I remembered that I like "Lose Control." :laugh:

The song I'm loving right now is the new dance remix to Faith Evans "Mesmerized"...it's AWESOME! :]

:thumbsup:

The first time I heard Lose Control (in May), I was on the freeway driving back from New Orleans. My best friend and I had seen the Erasure concert the night before, then partied on Bourbon till sunrise. I was dead tired, and when it came on the radio I was so excited I almost drove off the road. :laugh: Those running scale computer noises in the background (for lack of a better description) still give me goosebumps.
