The Blog With No Title.

Dear Ne-Yo (the hip-hop superstar for those of you not tapped into THE SCENE)-

I need to say this to you. You know I have long been a fan, if somewhat of a "closet fan", if you will. I keep it a secret because I have approximately zero rhythm. And a very public love affair with all things country music-related. And my husband laughs at me when I bust any of my patented hip-hop dance moves. So it's best if we keep our relationship on the down-low, if you know what I mean.

But listen, chum...back to the thing I need to say to you. It's been weighing on my mind for weeks. I'm having a terrible time taking your newest song seriously. It's called "I Wanna Be On You". Initially, I thought it was a silly/vulgar/ridiculous title, but I quickly moved on, enjoying the beat and picking up on the words. But something in the corner of my mind was tickling me. And then...I realized it. Ne-yo, the lyrics of that song are disconcertingly similar to my favorite line from Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy. Let's do a little comparison so you can see my point...

The words to your song:

Take this thought and send it your way,

And if you don’t like that, then send it right back,

But I just gotta say

I wanna be on you (on you),

I wanna be on you (on you)

And if you don’t like that, then send it right back....blah blah blah.

And now...The third funniest line from Anchorman:

Ron Burgundy: I wanna say something. I'm gonna put it out there; if you like it, you can take it, if you don't, send it right back. I want to be on you. [Veronica turns and walks away]

Ron Burgundy: Wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I... I wanna be on you.

Can you see my point? Is this purposeful? It's just that I'm having a real struggle taking this song seriously. Don't get me wrong, I still sing it in the car and even throw out a few fingersnaps and foot taps, but in all seriousness. I just can't find it in my heart to add this one to my own personal Top 10. I hope you understand. I also hope you'll take this as a learning opportunity, in the future avoiding the use of ridiculous quotes from ridiculous movies as fodder for love songs.

Thanks for stopping in. And by the way...could you just become a follower of my blog? I currently have two followers, who I adore immensely (woot! woot! to Micci and Sarah!) but I'm looking to add. So if you'll just become a Follower, I promise to continue to offer you my true and honest opinion.

Thanks again, homie.
