A while back I started a thread asking if anybody had heard "F*ck It" by Eamon and only got one response. Well the song is rising up the top 40 now so I have to assume some of you have heard it now.

I demand to hear what people think of Eamon. Anybody heard a promo of his upcoming debut? you can watch the video for "F*ck It" on his site, www.eamondoyle.com.

I refuse to believe nobody has any reaction to this song. It made my Pazz & Jop Top Ten singles this year.

Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Saturday, 17 January 2004 20:52 (twenty years ago) link

um...I thought it was pretty poor. Boring production, his voice is kinda thin, just seemed like a by-the-book late 80s/early 90s R&B with a injection of macho swearing and bitch baiting so, you know, 50 Cent fans can like it without being called pussies.

M@tt He1geson (Matt Helgeson), Saturday, 17 January 2004 21:00 (twenty years ago) link

I'd assume this guy was to R&B what the Darkness is to hair metal, but the more I find out about this guy the more it seems like he's not kidding at all. The video is outrageous.

Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Saturday, 17 January 2004 21:04 (twenty years ago) link

This song, Murphy Lee's "What's The Hook Gon Be?" and Nickelback's "My Favorite Disease" are the two songs I most get google hits looking for lyrics from on my site. Which is really, really odd.

Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Saturday, 17 January 2004 21:09 (twenty years ago) link

This song has been getting fairly heavy airplay around here and I like it, mostly cause there's cussing! Hooray for cussing!

Dan I., Monday, 2 February 2004 02:37 (twenty years ago) link

I swear to you, on one of the verses I'm pretty sure he says something like "I'm sorry I was dating a whore" which is just like, what? I'm completely unconvinced this is serious, wtf?

Allyzay, Wednesday, 4 February 2004 14:50 (twenty years ago) link

I'm sorry he was dating a whore too

Dadaismus (Dada), Wednesday, 4 February 2004 14:56 (twenty years ago) link

I'm not. If it results in a song and video as funny as this one, he should exclusively date whores.

Allyzay, Wednesday, 4 February 2004 14:57 (twenty years ago) link

I'm glad I found this thread. I saw a video for this on MTV2 this-morning while trying to convince myself to go to work, and I really couldn't tell if it was a joke (by which I mean an intentional joke) or not. Now I'm just convinced that he either has some truly serious dirt on someone or just stuck a truckload of horses heads in various music industy execs beds.

mmmmsalt (Graeme), Wednesday, 4 February 2004 17:55 (twenty years ago) link

It's catchy, his voice is pretty sweet and the chorus includes the line, "Fuck you, you ho." Gotta be a classic.

Salmon Pink (Salmon Pink), Thursday, 5 February 2004 02:51 (twenty years ago) link

Lazy ass songwriting. Kisses that "don't mean shit" in one line "don't mean jack" in another (you know, so he can rhyme it with "don't want you back.") And the video is obnoxious. Dud.

Salmon Pink (Salmon Pink), Thursday, 5 February 2004 02:53 (twenty years ago) link

HAW HAW HAW I WAS RIGHT ALLLL ALONGGGGG. THIS SONG IS FUCKING HIIIIIILARIOUS. I MEAN SERRYUSSLY this is not a joke. God help me THIS SONG IS NOT A FUCKING JOKE. What the fuck? Staten Island whitey gets to scream I WAS DATING A HO and he gets a top 40 hit? What the serious fuck.

Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 5 February 2004 07:05 (twenty years ago) link

I'm so glad this will be on my permanent record as a Pazz'n'Jop Top Ten single for 2003. I beat the bell curve yo.

Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 5 February 2004 07:06 (twenty years ago) link

oh man. seriously if you ever find out how yer dating a ho what you gotta do is take her to an outdoor pizza bistro. Then RIGHT when the pepperoni arrives you start ripping into her and then around the third verse you just fah-LING that pizza across the place cuz GAWDAMN if it ain't bad enuff you caught her cheating now she's gonna know that she's not gonna have any pizza. This video is some sorta gospel. TAKE NOTES.

So has anyone else heard the album? I'm listening for the first time right now and so far it's about half really great and half pretty bland.

Colin Beckett (Colin Beckett), Sunday, 7 March 2004 23:18 (twenty years ago) link

i kept hearing about a response record by some girl supposedly the original song was written about called "fuck you back". forget who it's by though

JaXoN (JasonD), Sunday, 7 March 2004 23:51 (twenty years ago) link

"Fuck You Right Back" by Frankee (or Frankie) is hitting the airwaves big time around here. it's a pretty funny response, lines like "your sex was wack / fuck you right back" and the like. though i'm sure it will lose its flavor even faster than the Eamon original.

two songs on this album are the first guilty pleasures ive had in years! he's like a more annoying 4th singing beastie boy and yet those catchy ho-wop melodies mean i keep putting those mp3s ('i'd rather fuck with you' and 'get off my dick' to be specific) back in the queue :/

I don't doubt that this fuckwit "means it", but I doubt he's thinking through what he's saying, which is the BIG problem I have w/ most "emo" type things - it's said (or trying to be said) at The Moment when The Pain hits. Bully for Eamon / DC / Death Cab / Limp Bizkit / etc. for getting this shit off the chest, but fuck off for thinking I'd want to hear this sort of nonsense more than once. If I actually stood behind EVERYTHING I spouted off when I was really pissed off at anything, I'd sound like a raving lunatic. Things "of the moment" should undoubtedly stay "of the moment".

And those damn feminine "ooooh oooh" backing vocals - oh, it's IRONIC that there's a girl backing his mealy mouthed asscrap up. Gawrsh.

David R. (popshots75`), Monday, 8 March 2004 01:37 (twenty years ago) link

yeah this is crap but it's entertaining. like if you took a dump and then looked down for the post-dump evaluation and eminem was on it, or if it started singing "there's NO business like SHOW business."

The rebuttal:

Lyrics:

Oh oh
oooh
no no no

(You know there's two sides to every story)

See I don't know why you cryin' like a bitch
talkin' shit like a snitch
why you write a song 'bout me
if you really didn't care
you wouldn't wanna share
tellin' everybody just how you feel

CHORUS
fuck What I did, was your fault somehow
fuck the presents, I threw all that shit out
don't go cryin' you didn't mean jack
well guess what yo, fuck you right back

What I did was your fault somehow
the presents,I threw all that shit out
don't go cryin' you didn't mean jack
well guess what your,fuck you right back

You thought you could really make me moan
I had better sex all along (ha ha ha ha)
I had to do your friend
now you want me to come back
you must be smokin' crack
Im goin' else where and thats a fact

Fuck all those nights I moaned real loud
fuck it, I faked it, aren't you proud?
fuck all those nights you thought you broke my back
well guess what your,your sex was wack

Fuck all those nights I moaned real loud
fuck it,I faked it,i'll rent you out
fuck all those nights you thought you broke my back
well guess what your,your sex was wack

whoa whoa
uh uh yea

whoa whoa
uh uh yea

whoa whoa
uh uh yea

whoa whoa
uh uh yea

You questioned did I care
maybe I would howl if you wanna come to me
now it's over
but I do admit i'm glad I didn't catch your crabs
I can't swear bad cause I got to go

CHORUS
fuck What I did, was your fault somehow
fuck the presents, I threw all that shit out
don't go cryin' you didn't mean jack
well guess what yo, fuck you right back

Dan, the blogger whose site I pulled those lyrics from suggested that Eamon retaliate with another track!

David R. (popshots75`), Monday, 8 March 2004 02:14 (twenty years ago) link

I love that even the 'normal' parts of the lyrics come off as kind of bizarre, i.e. "I even said you were my great one".

apparently Eamon has a doo wop song called "Ho Wop", and when he was on TRL he wore a sweatshirt that said HO WOP on the front. I hope he at least becomes successful enough to ship his own line of Ho-Wop-A-Wear to retail.

HOLLA!

JaXoN (JasonD), Friday, 12 March 2004 03:34 (twenty years ago) link

Double dud. And it's not enough for them to give us the original track, we have to get the Frankee version too. From MTV:

Eamon has rocketed up the charts with a song about his ex-girlfriend called "F--- It (I Don't Want You Back)," and now a woman who claims to be the subject of the track has retaliated with her own song: "FU Right Back."

The song adds new lyrics to the beats and melody of the Staten Island, New York, singer's hit, dissing the "ho-wop" crooner with lines like "You thought you could really make me moan/ I had better sex all alone" and "Now you want me to come back/ You must be smoking crack/ I'm going elsewhere, and that's a fact."

New York radio station Z100 received the track anonymously in the mail and began playing it on February 24. Almost immediately, the request lines started lighting up, and the station has been playing the cut almost as much as Eamon's original...(Editor’s note: Eamon later claimed that he had approved the Frankee track and that the beef between the two was staged, a claim that Frankee denies.)

oh yeah it's Milk from Audio Two, whom I haven't heard. He produced a lot of this and raps on two tracks. One of his raps recommends punching the girl's hating friends in the head and the other apologizes to Eamon for doing his girl in a bathroom, her "head in the bowl." I must admit Milk didn't charm me much.

William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Monday, 15 March 2004 13:55 (twenty years ago) link

I really hope the next single is "On & On." The FIRST LINE of the song is "every time I finish I can see it in your eyes." And it's not even the smuggest song about his sexual skill and stamina. There's another song about how you're loving the sex cuz it's better than X and that's why you'll fuck with him for the rest of your life.

Though "On & On" has a better melody.

Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Monday, 15 March 2004 22:29 (twenty years ago) link

Al (sitcom), Monday, 15 March 2004 22:39 (twenty years ago) link

a valid point, but the irony of the smooth sounds and his blunt, nakedly assholish lyrics is where the entertainment is. Nickelback's track is just ugly on all levels. Eamon sounds like a dumb shit Velvet Jones rather than a belligerent sportsbar enthusiast. It's not like I'm laughing with Eamon, I just have to acknowledge that I like to laugh and this stuff does it.

i think i like this song - the one i've heard on the radio, elsewhere is uptempo like good color me badd (actually more uptempo than that), but the one i saw on mtv was all slow like bad color me badd, all fraught with drama. i can't stand the normal 'fuck you you bitch' one but radio edit saves the day, again.

cinniblount (James Blount), Saturday, 20 March 2004 08:26 (twenty years ago) link

yeah, it's boringness works for it when it's uptempo (note: ghosttown dj's, inoj, and kp & envyi are maybe my three fave artists of the nineties), but downtempo is too much the pity party.

The Eamon original is like Fred Durst gone R&B balladeer, and his voice is horrid, just one long endless whine... possibly the worst song I've heard this year. "Fuck U Right Back" is better though, largely because Frankee can sing.

Classic, I can't believe I am enjoying (in some capacity) album tracks. Also classic for the intro track mentioning "Shaolin". ha ha ha, Eamon even if you are from Staten Island you aren't from Shaolin. Ho-Wop is the new New Jack Swing.

Is Eamon like Peaches inverted?

christhamrin (christhamrin), Friday, 26 March 2004 17:46 (twenty years ago) link

OK man look. I thought this song was some pretty serious stuff until I heard the new song by frankee....DAMN YOU GOTTA HEAR FRANKEE'S VERSION! SHE COMPLETELY MAKES HIM SOUND LIKE A FUCKIN RETARD!!!! that song was pretty good u til she sanged it and now she made him suck ass!!!! GO FRANKEE! AND HER SONG FUCK YOU RIGHT BACK!!!!

this is amazing. there should be more of this kind of thing. cussfilled slinky r&b break up songs from two perspectives! it could be a very clever plan to get them both exposure but i hope it's all pure vitriol. Right now i'm taking sides with Frankie.

The video is so cheap. I know that shouldn't matter, but it does. They didn't even eat the pizza, I assume because it's what they paid the camera man with.

It's going to be number for 3 weeks.

jel -- (jel), Thursday, 15 April 2004 16:43 (twenty years ago) link

It's like a modern companion piece to "Nothing Compares 2 U", with rudity. Quite likes it, I does.

Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 15 April 2004 17:34 (twenty years ago) link

Dude, Jel, Eamon knocks over the pizza at the end of the video! He waits till the pizza gets there to bitch her out so that he knows she's getting hungry to eat the pizza. Then at the last second he FLINGS that pie across the table, sayin' you can't fuck with him and you SURE AS FUCK AIN'T GETTING NO PIZZA.

Aja (aja), Friday, 16 April 2004 15:24 (twenty years ago) link

sayin' you can't fuck with him and you SURE AS FUCK AIN'T GETTING NO PIZZA

But Frankee has proved that she can fuck with him and she SURE AS FUCK DON'T NEED NO PIZZA. Fuck him, his pizza was wack.

I mean really, why would anyone side with Eamon over Frankee?

The Lex (The Lex), Friday, 16 April 2004 15:25 (twenty years ago) link

I like the Frankee version even better than the Eamon one! But that doesn't mean that his version is terrible, it's a good song.

El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Friday, 16 April 2004 15:38 (twenty years ago) link

It is a good song, but I can't get past Eamon's noxious whine of a voice, it's grating in a horribly emo sort of way and reminds me of the dread Durst. Even if Frankee didn't exist I'd side with the girl in the Eamon song.

The Lex (The Lex), Friday, 16 April 2004 15:43 (twenty years ago) link

I've never heard the reply song, but I immediately side with the girl, as Eamon is a whiney, potty-mouthed, inarticulate slackjaw.

Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, 16 April 2004 16:08 (twenty years ago) link

Emonem!

Anyone got any thoughts on this compared to Shysties version of / riposte to, Dizzee’s I Luv You? I think there should be more response songs in modern pop given how misogynistic and homophobic most of it inherently is.

myke boomnoise (myke boomnoise), Friday, 16 April 2004 23:31 (twenty years ago) link

I haven't heard the Frankee song yet. It got crazy hate on the local R&B station. There seems to be a lot of Eamon love in this town.

Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Saturday, 17 April 2004 16:16 (twenty years ago) link

The unironic kind, frighteningly enough.

Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Saturday, 17 April 2004 16:16 (twenty years ago) link

I think there should be more response songs in modern pop given how misogynistic and homophobic most of it inherently is.

True dat, but first there have to be more women and gay men in genres like hip-hop and garage to do the response songs. (And more love given to the ones who ARE there - I've only skimmed the grime thread, but Lady Fury is only mentioned like two or three times!) Shystie is wicked.

The Lex (The Lex), Saturday, 17 April 2004 16:30 (twenty years ago) link

This song is great.

Ronan (Ronan), Saturday, 17 April 2004 17:46 (twenty years ago) link

I heard the unedited version and it ruined the mystery for me.

christhamrin (christhamrin), Saturday, 17 April 2004 17:55 (twenty years ago) link

I love Eamon's release of F**k It (I don't want you back. Frankee copied his version! I'm not saying it's a shit reply coz her song is wicked, but Eamon just rules! I love him and so do all my mates. I love the way they have replied to each other, but is Eamon's song for Frankee? Apparently I heard it was fro another ex-girlfriend called Andrea? Is this right? Anyway Eamon's song is better - I love it and Frankee's song comes as a second in my personal chart at the moment!

Macho rubbish BUT the version sung by that bird is just the same (where she's telling a guy to get fucked) so maybe it's about time you had a song where a guy's telling some nasty lass to stick it.

omg omg omg omg omg

so the new single is the opening track, "I Love Them."

Only he's added a word to the title (and chorus).

It's now "I Love Them Ho's."

The video is on launch.com.

omg.

Milk Dee is prominently displayed in the video, you Audio Two fans.

CeCe Peniston (Anthony Miccio), Saturday, 26 June 2004 13:48 (nineteen years ago) link

ok actually I just discovered that he didn't ADD the word "ho's" the promo copy I got when I reviewed this was clean so they had taken out the word "ho's" (what is up with that apostrophe?). For some reason they're keeping it now (at least on Launch). I really wish this was added after the fact.

Revive, as I just got a copy of the album.
It's terrible in a fascinating way. As I listen to it, I can TELL I'll be tired of it in two days; but it's great for the moment.
Utterly disposable... just like he turned out to be.
Whence Eamon these days? Opening for William Hung?

Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 20 October 2004 20:48 (nineteen years ago) link

Though truth be told, there may be a few keepers on here: "Fuck You" is still pretty tasty and I like "Get Off my Dick" and "Ho-Wop" enough that they may stay in rotation.
"Fuck You" seems like a likely OMGWTFLOL winner of the future.
Forget dub Hung, E. should be opening for Snow.

ugh I just had the displeasure of hearing this goddamn song again this morning for the first time in 4 years! god I thought it was horrible when.

but whether or not the Frankee version was staged (uh, it totally was), some really lame disses throughout. She faked orgasms? OMG AN "EVERY WOMAN IN THE WORLD" SHOCKER. even my most recent ex admitted she did on occasion (but wouldn't tell me if she did with me, lol).

"What I did was your fault somehow"= I'M RIGHT BUT KANT BE BOTHERED TO COME UP WITH A SUPPORTING ARGUMENT SO LIKE FUK U...

lol at the "your sex was wack". i'd rather be told I sucked in bed by a female than be told nothing at all by a gym towel or a sock....

Ballistic, Sunday, 7 March 2010 18:03 (fourteen years ago) link

"fuck What I did, it was your fault somehow" - this line made me totally hate frankee and decide eamon probably was right for calling her out as a ho. anyway i found this song mildly amusing when it came out, and i'm kinda getting nostalgic for it now. wonder if it's still on my hard drive somewhere? (probably not)
