Dan, because of this post, I've now listened to Humps over and over for the better part of the last hour.
I had a discussion at work about Humps just yesterday morning, and I said almost the exact same things as Hitchens. I asked the question, "Who actually, honestly, likes this song, not because it might be the worst pop song of all time, but actually likes it, like enjoys it the same way someone enjoys a Beatles song, you know, ACTUALLY likes it?" The answer: This one girl at work likes it. Honestly. Says it's fun to dance to. It made me so depressed I hardly had the energy to punch her in her stupid face.
THANK YOU! Seriously! I have had many a discussion with people about this song and they're all "it's great". No it's not. Stupid lyrics. A 6th grader could write those. AND, you can't dance to it - fucking syncopated beat. Now Billy Jean...there's a song you can dance to.

Oh my God...My Humps makes me angry.

A sixth grader would scoff at those lyrics as "amateurish" and "not-rhymey".
"You don't want no drama, no no no no drama...no no drama, no no no no drama..."
