I've got issues with this one. First off, T-Pain grates on my eardrums so much that anything with him in it starts off with a FAIL grade and has to work itself up from there.
Besides that, though...I get that its a spoof, but its such an accurate spoof that it could absolutely be a real song. I know that's the point, but really held back the humor of the song for me. I've heard rap songs produced about more absurd topics before (50% of them by Nelly), so I just couldn't laugh as hard because it was harder to tell that this song is a joke than some of their other songs.
Compare it to their "Bing Bong Brothers" song. That song is pretty much a parody of "The Whisper Song," but there's a ridiculous quality in the song, in their desperation to show this girl their penises, that makes it funny. This song...I enjoyed it, it was entertaining, but it wasn't as good or as funny as their other songs.
And T-Pain was in it.
I don't know...perhaps a few more listens are in order...This Message Edited On 02.06.09
