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

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!

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.)

somehow when i hear this song, i can't stop thinking of that cher song...the one where she had the vocoder...'believe' was it?

― stolenbus (stolenbus), Friday, 12 March 2004 04:20 (twenty-two years ago)

we bought a copy of the full album while on tour. The opener, "Love Them Ho's," is based on "I Only Have Eyes For You" and is immortally unbelievably great. The rest of the album is shit.

― J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Friday, 12 March 2004 04:25 (twenty-two years ago)

why is this filed in the hip hop section?

Enh, I got "Zealots" for that

― Nate in ST.P (natedetritus), Friday, 12 March 2004 05:09 (twenty-two years ago)

And Atmosphere for the rest of the equation

― Nate in ST.P (natedetritus), Friday, 12 March 2004 05:11 (twenty-two years ago)

I heard a little of the album today, I'm particularly fond of "Get Off My Dick!".

― Al (sitcom), Friday, 12 March 2004 05:18 (twenty-two years ago)

"I freak you like you like it then you want some more. Let's explore the bedroom floor over and over and oooover..."

I dig "On & On" and most of the other ballads. And who the hell is Rap Legend Milk Dee?

"I freak you like you like it then you want some more. Let's explore the bedroom floor over and over and oooover..."

I think you mixed up his album with Smoove B's. Or did you?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 12 March 2004 18:51 (twenty-two years ago)

It's all Eamon, dawg.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Friday, 12 March 2004 18:52 (twenty-two years ago)

I actually saw the video on MTV last night. The girls I was hanging out with were unimpressed, but I think everyone was too drunk to really listen to what Eamon was laying down. I still fell out of my chair when he pushed the pizza off the table.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Friday, 12 March 2004 18:55 (twenty-two years ago)

please dear god tell me they dont mean milk from audio two

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 12 March 2004 18:56 (twenty-two years ago)

(and if so please dear god tell me miccio didnt not know who he was)

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 12 March 2004 18:56 (twenty-two years ago)

haha maybe this means monie love will record an answer record

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 12 March 2004 18:57 (twenty-two years ago)

"the real eamon"

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 12 March 2004 18:57 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm tellin' ya, Jess, more and more people are watching Fear of a Black Hat and thinking it's an actual documentary of the time.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 12 March 2004 18:59 (twenty-two years ago)

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.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Friday, 12 March 2004 18:59 (twenty-two years ago)

WOAH. Ok, I just looked up Milk Dee on allmusic. Had no idea Eamon had such prolific pals.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Friday, 12 March 2004 19:00 (twenty-two years ago)

poor giz

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 12 March 2004 19:01 (twenty-two years ago)

one of the songs on the Eamon album samples Audio Two according to the liner notes, interestingly enough.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Friday, 12 March 2004 19:01 (twenty-two years ago)

the beat to this song actually songs like a song I've heard before. anybody have any idea what I'm talking about?

― Misty, Monday, 15 March 2004 00:55 (twenty-two years ago)

I thought this was really neat the first four times I heard it. For some reason I had an image of a twelve year old black kid singing it. Finding out it's a goombah in his early thirties makes it terrible for some reason.
Am I racist or just corny?

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Monday, 15 March 2004 04:18 (twenty-two years ago)

both, but you're in good company here.

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 15 March 2004 04:21 (twenty-two years ago)

The fact that he's just some thirtysomething schlub from Statan Island makes it even better!

― Colin Beckett (Colin Beckett), Monday, 15 March 2004 04:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Eamon is 20

― Adrian (Adrian Langston), Monday, 15 March 2004 04:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh well

― Colin Beckett (Colin Beckett), Monday, 15 March 2004 04:38 (twenty-two years ago)

He's aging awfully poorly, don't you think?

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Monday, 15 March 2004 04:47 (twenty-two years ago)

I did think that with slight softening of the beats, this could well be a Daniel O'Donnell song. Seriously.

It's a #1 for sure. We likes our swearing over here.

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

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-two years ago)

if you dig those kinds of lyrics, Anthony, I'm surprised you're not down with Nickelback's "Figured You Out"!

― Al (sitcom), Monday, 15 March 2004 22:39 (twenty-two years ago)

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.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Monday, 15 March 2004 22:45 (twenty-two years ago)

His song sounds like that Samantha Mumba single.. I keep on expecting to hear her vocals kicking in

― jellybean (jellybean), Monday, 15 March 2004 22:50 (twenty-two years ago)

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 have to agree with Anthony. Eamon's whiny toolishness is funny.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Monday, 15 March 2004 23:14 (twenty-two years ago)

i actually liek this song (dont want you back) and thinks that it soo funny that frankie wrote a song about him lol is she gonna get sued? ((or however u spell it))

― brooke, Friday, 19 March 2004 01:49 (twenty-two years ago)

"r. dresses like a big gay zorro and yet has this face on that's like jake lamotta's at the end of raging bull"

i would like to apologize for all the times i insulted jess, he is on screaming fire on this thread

i sort of like this song god help me

― !!!! (amateurist), Friday, 19 March 2004 17:02 (twenty-two years ago)

dude....this song kicks ass!!!
.

― alicia, Saturday, 20 March 2004 05:26 (twenty-two years ago)

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-two years ago)

actually the slow one really reminds me of that ballad snow released as the followup to 'informer'. suxxx.

― cinniblount (James Blount), Saturday, 20 March 2004 08:27 (twenty-two years ago)

i find fuck it too boring to laugh at it. never heard any of his other stuff yet.

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Saturday, 20 March 2004 08:28 (twenty-two years ago)

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.

― cinniblount (James Blount), Saturday, 20 March 2004 08:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Why are u guys and girls hating on Eamon! he has a good voice u shud listen to da rest of da album it is good especially "On&On"

― faye, Saturday, 20 March 2004 19:29 (twenty-two years ago)

who did the female answer song? i heard it on the radio today and it made me realize how good the backing on the original is.

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Sunday, 21 March 2004 01:59 (twenty-two years ago)

I've seen the response (I think it's called "Fuck You Right Back") credited to "Frankee"

― Colin Beckett (Colin Beckett), Sunday, 21 March 2004 04:51 (twenty-two years ago)

"Fuck It" is shit.

― billstevejim, Sunday, 21 March 2004 07:50 (twenty-two years ago)

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.

― The Lex (The Lex), Sunday, 21 March 2004 09:46 (twenty-two years ago)
