I cannot believe that there is no thread dedicated to the song "Summer Girls" by LFO (aka the Lyte Funky Ones)

"Sorry 2004," by Ruben Studdard

jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 15 January 2007 20:31 (seventeen years ago) link

it included:

1) getting drunk at an innapropriate time
2) having sex with the sister of whomever he was apologizing to
3) crashing through a window of some sort

i also seem to remember a lyric about a biker/motorcycle gang but its possible i'm making that up.

and possibly some mention of seafood of some sort, possibly in the same line as motorcycle gang/ bikers.

jambalaya backgammon (grady), Monday, 15 January 2007 20:34 (seventeen years ago) link

I dunno, but that sounds awesome.

jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 15 January 2007 20:38 (seventeen years ago) link

i ask because i remember it being all over the radio around the same time.

it sounded like a much more radio-friendly NOFX or Ugly Kid Joe ten years later.

jambalaya backgammon (grady), Monday, 15 January 2007 20:41 (seventeen years ago) link

i also ask because the lyrics were horribly catchy and annoying but much preferable to summer girls.

A-ha!:

Nerf Herder, "Sorry"

Sorry we broke up, sorry I missed you
Sorry I wanted only to kiss you
Sorry I promised to love you forever
made you feel guilty, oh when you left me
Sorry I showed up at your party
Sorry I drank up all the Bacardi
Sorry I puked up on your bedspread
Sorry I wanted to be your boyfriend again
(chorus) What can I do?
It's over, it's over, it's over, it's over
What can I do? I am the loser.
Sorry I saw you and I heard birds sing
Sorry I touched you and I heard bells ring
Sorry I jacked off outside of your window
while you were sleeping
I thought you'd never know
Sorry I showed up at your wedding
Sorry I tried so hard to get in
Sorry I screwed up your picture
Sorry I had sex with your sister
(chorus) What can I do?
It's over, it's over, it's over, it's over
What can I do? I am the loser.
Sorry we broke up, sorry I missed you
Sorry I wanted only to kiss you
Sorry I promised to love you forever
made you feel guilty, oh when you left me
Sorry I showed up at your dinner
Sorry I said those things to your father
Sorry I crashed through your window on acid
Sorry I made a mess, sorry I bled to death
(chorus) Repeat 2x

When I start to think about how it seems like all bands these days have shit names, I need to remind myself, "hey, self, remember the 90s".

NO BIKERS EATING SEAFOOD NO CREDIBILITY.

jambalaya backgammon (grady), Monday, 15 January 2007 21:01 (seventeen years ago) link

and it was from 1996!

jambalaya backgammon (grady), Monday, 15 January 2007 21:02 (seventeen years ago) link

wikipedia lists genre as: Geek Rock

jambalaya backgammon (grady), Monday, 15 January 2007 21:03 (seventeen years ago) link

Wow, Evan and Jaron. I had forgotten about them. I still have no idea what they sounded like. I'm assuming sensitive blandness.

Tynan Delong was an asshole.

This is a big karaoke tune for me.

Dom Passantino, Tuesday, 6 May 2008 14:03 (fifteen years ago) link

And, I think, for the world at large.

Dom Passantino, Tuesday, 6 May 2008 14:03 (fifteen years ago) link

I was going to say, a truly classic Tynan post upthread.

Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 6 May 2008 14:14 (fifteen years ago) link

You are the worst breed of fong.

Dom Passantino, Tuesday, 6 May 2008 14:18 (fifteen years ago) link

I know ;_;

"Girl On TV" was good, too.

how is this song not already a lyrics poll

Alex in Baltimore, Tuesday, 6 May 2008 14:21 (fifteen years ago) link

yeah this was easily top 5 karaoke performances ever for me

impudent harlot, Tuesday, 6 May 2008 15:46 (fifteen years ago) link

"Chinese food makes me sick"

Really -- why share that with the world?

Alex in NYC, Tuesday, 6 May 2008 18:39 (fifteen years ago) link

seven months pass...

I'm sure there was a poll about this, wtf was the thread called though?

Doctor Casino, Monday, 29 December 2008 01:35 (fifteen years ago) link

aha, burned by punctuation. thanks!

Doctor Casino, Monday, 29 December 2008 01:41 (fifteen years ago) link

Listening to the song now, it seems self-evident that it was the template for the (inferior but still charming) "Not The Greatest Rapper In The World" by 1,000 Clowns.

Doctor Casino, Monday, 29 December 2008 01:47 (fifteen years ago) link

one year passes...

RIP guy who sang this song ;_;

ten years pass...

Last surviving LFO member has some thoughts about how talented rapper Rich Cronin was:

The In Memoriam montage in the following year’s Grammys did not include a mention. “I don’t like to focus on those who don’t respect us, I like to focus on the fans,” Fischetti says. “But it hurt. Rich Cronin was literally one of the best rappers alive, which is not to say he’d beat Eminem in a freestyle battle. But if you gave him a mic and beat, he could hold his own with anyone, with Biggie, anybody. That kid was so creative.”

It was all a dream
I used to read Tiger Beat magazine

Cronin could hold his own with Biggie
At night, I like to get into my Snuggie
