No I don't care, I don't care, I don't caaaaaaaaaaare.
I'm-a do the things that I want to do, I ain't got a thing to prove to you.
I'll eat my candy with the pork and beans and minute rice.
why I'm singing this, I better think twice!
Yeah, probably not a regular live-action video like W&N... but I could see a nice animated video done for it officially. I'm guessing that's a lot cheaper and it frees up Al's time to work on the next song.Orthography Enthusiast @ October 09, 2008 01:29 pm wrote: I'd say... probably no video. Videos are expensive, and it would make more sense to do one to promote a whole album that was ready to drop. A one-off song, especially if Al's contract still has him getting paid less for iTunes sales than for CDs, probably wouldn't justify the cost.
Thanks. I swear I kept staring at my screen going "is that even in English?!"OG= Original Gangster. The veteran guys in the gang, admired by the young punks.

Yeah, I've been having a hard time too! (And I've listened to it at least more than one hundred times now) I know what's coming up next, but I can't get the exact lyrics down right, it's really kinda annoying...(mabye Al planned it that way, yet again another conspiracy against WOWAYBruce the Duck @ October 09, 2008 05:09 pm wrote: Is anyone else finidng this song really difficult to learn? I can't remember the lyrics, even when I'm singing along with it. I know the general spirit of what's being said in each of the parts, but I can't quite remember the exact words - maybe because of the lousy beat and the way the lyrics don't really fit the beat too well. W&N was far easier to remember by comparison.
