Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

Apparently I like repetition.

For some strange reason, I like J. Holiday's new song "Bed," despite it being really hardcore hip-hop. And as I was listening to the song I suddenly found myself able to sing along, even though I haven't heard it that many times yet. This is because the song is DAMN repetitive. Take a look at the pre-chorus:

[Pre-chorus:]

I love it (I love it)
You love it (You love it)
Everytime (Everytime)
We touchin (We touchin)
I want it (I want it)
You want it (You want it)
I'll see you (see you)
In the morning (In the morning)

If you ignore the words and just concentrate on the structure, it's pratically like a Hooked-on-Phonics teaching course. When I say A, you say A. But the revelations get better:

[Chorus:]

I wanna put my fingers thru your hair
Wrap me up in your legs
And love you till your eyes roll back
I'm tryin to put you to bed, bed, bed
I'mma put you to BED, BED, BED (<~~~ GASP!)

If you actually listen to it, it sounds more like he's saying "put you to Bed, eh, eh...".


Eh?


Eh?!


EH!


Yes, that's right folks. This little ditty is ripped straight off of Rihanna's "Umbrella" (which probably explains why I like it)!!!
