I Say Enough is Enough

For too long we have endured this song every time we turn on the radio, flick past MTV or stumble into Tiger Tiger Claremont. In fact, it doesn’t matter which club you go into, because you’re bound to hear it more than once in a night.

However, one of the effects of this evil song is even more nefarious than the beast itself. It is the droves of drunken party girls hollering it at the top of their lungs, almost in unison, over and over, and over, again.  Exhibit B:

Many people have tried to explain to me why this song has become popular.  These arguments rely heavily on the premise that the song is “cool”.  Unfortunately, nobody has been able to show me the fucking money.

The problem becomes clear when we examine the video.  This is the image of “Life as the Black Eyed Peas” we are receiving, and it is truly terrifying:

This Does Not Happen at Your Parties

This kind of image is used to distract us from the fact that “mazel tov” means “we couldn’t even think of something to rhyme with ‘cup’” in this context, and that once upon a time the Black Eyed Peas used to make something called music instead of this bunk.

What this is doing is making ordinary people think that getting drunk and singing a catch phrase, or using it as their facebook status before getting drunk, will improve their apparent coolness.  I believe that this is wrong of them, as you can clearly see in the image below:

That's Wrong Right There

So folks, please, next time you hear this song, don’t just grimace through it.  Show your disgust. Turn off the radio, change the channel, or get off the dance floor and go take a slash.  Soon other people who are sick of this song will start to do the same, and eventually ‘I Got a Feelin’ will go to that lonely place where songs like ‘The Macarena’ and Chumbawumba’s ‘Tubthumping‘ went to die.
