Guilty Music Monday #55

It’s been a while, but it’s back. I guess we’ll consider this the “end of summer jams” edition. Songs that were pretty big this summer and are fizzling just like the season itself. First off is Biz Markie’s classic, “Just A Friend.” If you didn’t hear this on that Heineken commercial, you probably weren’t watching TV all summer. Aside from the message of don’t drink and drive, that commercial brought out the song’s true intention: togetherness.
Another great summer jam was Drake’s “Best I Ever Had.” Needless to say, the lyricism here is expert. Nobody has ever rhymed about making a pussy whistle before. Taking that to another level, Drake brings the Andy Griffith theme song into question, and a few minds caved in.
One last jam would be Keri Hilson’s guest-laden track “Knock You Down.” This song contains my favorite pop lyric of the decade, with Ne-Yo singing “I used to be commander in chief of my pimp ship, flying high // ‘Till some pretty little missile came and knocked me out the sky…” Now you may have noticed that ship was bleeped out on the radio, but have no fear, that’s still the lyric. It just sounded overwhelmingly close to “shit.” Enjoy this one, it’s the best of the worst.
