I CAN RESIST EVERYTHING EXCEPT TEMPTATION

Oh you fancy, huh?

Yesterday Janessa arrived at my place repeatedly singing, "Oh you fancy, huh? Oh you fancy, huh?" and I wasn't going to ask, until after the fifth or sixth rendition I finally had to buckle down and inquire what in blazes she was singing. She insists that it is the new Drake song, and although I'm not saying that Drake is by any means a lyrical genius, that hook seems a bit sub-par even for him.

Then I looked up the lyrics.

There is nothing funnier than the laid out lyrics of a hip-hop song, in my opinion. It sounds good on the radio, but just doesn't hold up to scrutiny on print.

Exhibit A:

Go
go 'head
go go go 'head
go go go go go go 'head
go go go go go go 'head
oh you fancy huh
oh you fancy huh
oh you fancy huh
oh you fancy huh

Nails done, hair done, everything done
nails done, hair done, everything done
oh you fancy huh
oh you fancy huh
you you fancy huh
oh you fancy huh

Nails done, hair done, everything done
nails done, hair done, everything done
oh you fancy huh

I rest my case.
