strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 8 March 2004 01:11 (twenty years ago) link

maybe its the name (haw haw)

strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 8 March 2004 01:11 (twenty years ago) link

His whiteness?

Colin Beckett (Colin Beckett), Monday, 8 March 2004 01:12 (twenty years ago) link

Haha

Colin Beckett (Colin Beckett), Monday, 8 March 2004 01:12 (twenty years ago) link

haha colin shhh dont point at the elephant

strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 8 March 2004 01:12 (twenty years ago) link

He's like Cody Chesnutt without the sense of humor, which probably doesn't sound like an endorsment. I'm pretty indiscriminating when it comes to R&B.

Colin Beckett (Colin Beckett), Monday, 8 March 2004 01:17 (twenty years ago) link

i really, really, REALLY react badly to even the hint of possible not-really-meaning-it in R&B.

strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 8 March 2004 01:19 (twenty years ago) link

r. kelly gets away with it because he always looks like the ridiculousness spilling out of his mouth is DEATHLY SERIOUS.

strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 8 March 2004 01:20 (twenty years ago) link

Eamon means it!

Colin Beckett (Colin Beckett), Monday, 8 March 2004 01:21 (twenty years ago) link

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

strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 8 March 2004 01:21 (twenty years ago) link

R. means it too! Which is why he's the greatest thing in the world, instead of the worst.

Colin Beckett (Colin Beckett), Monday, 8 March 2004 01:22 (twenty years ago) link

I didn't mean to invoke "World's Greatest"

Colin Beckett (Colin Beckett), Monday, 8 March 2004 01:22 (twenty years ago) link

the problem with eamon is his terrible voice!!

jeremy jordan (cruisy), Monday, 8 March 2004 01:22 (twenty years ago) link

also: his sucking.

strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 8 March 2004 01:23 (twenty years ago) link

He went to my high school. My sister knew him. Said we was a loser.

Wifey thinks the song is funny (we live in Staten Island). I just think it sucks

roger adultery (roger adultery), Monday, 8 March 2004 01:25 (twenty years ago) link

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."

or if it said "fuck you you ho"

Begs2Differ (Begs2Differ), Monday, 8 March 2004 01:45 (twenty years ago) link

matt have i told you lately that i love you?

strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 8 March 2004 01:50 (twenty years ago) link

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

Can we dial back to the Cold War and push the button now?

Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 8 March 2004 02:09 (twenty years ago) link

No, that would generalize the suffering. It must all be concentrated at this man's quivering body.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 8 March 2004 02:13 (twenty years ago) link

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.

Al (sitcom), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 04:34 (twenty years ago) link

they both are ok i dont turn the radio up when they come off but i dont switch it. I got props for anyone making money. so frankee and eamon do yo thang
no need to hate money makers no matter how they do it

lida truly, Friday, 12 March 2004 03:01 (twenty years ago) link

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.)

Lesley, Friday, 12 March 2004 03:46 (twenty years ago) link

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 years ago) link

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 years ago) link

Enh, I got "Zealots" for that

And Atmosphere for the rest of the equation

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

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 years ago) link

"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 years ago) link

It's all Eamon, dawg.

Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Friday, 12 March 2004 18:52 (twenty years ago) link

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 years ago) link

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

"the real eamon"

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

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 years ago) link

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 years ago) link

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 years ago) link

poor giz

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

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 years ago) link

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 years ago) link

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 years ago) link

both, but you're in good company here.

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

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

three months pass...

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)

messiahwannabe, Monday, 8 March 2010 12:06 (fourteen years ago) link
