I must have listened to it 100 times. And never, not once, did I ever think to wonder about what race the lead singer was. He sounds like he fits the mold of angsty, suburban teen singer, which, in my experiences, is a genre wholly dominated by annoying white guys. <br /><br />For as misguided as your hate for this song is, Marv, that is how much my mind has been blown. <br /><br />*And pray there are no burners to complete the homophobia/racism double.

I liked it enough to download it from Napster (old school 56k modem, but fuck if my AOL connection was ever faster than 28) and stick in my Musicmatch Jukebox (pre Yahoo! version). The problem was that given my slow internet connection back then, I didn't have too much downloaded, so it got overplayed. Along with <i>Absolutely (Story of a Girl)</i>, <i>Teenage Dirtbag</i>, <i>What I Didn't Know</i> and <i>Get 'Em Outta Here</i>. I now rank it "Unlistenable."I Like Cheap Beerhttp://deadspin.com/people/gennycreamalenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755499102053199917.post-41531367699199719862012-09-14T13:36:32.025-04:002012-09-14T13:36:32.025-04:00Oh hey, look who's suddenly into the music dis...Oh hey, look who's suddenly into the music discussion.

Once you get out of college, you almost assume that pop songs are going to be horrible, and further, you’re not surrounded by peers to talk about what’s good and what’s bad. <br /><br />So when I think of this song – which was released three years after I graduated college – it’s just in that bucket of so many other songs that on a daily basis reminded me that Kurt Cobain was dead, and that I was the last one still buying Pearl Jam CDs.<br /><br />Conversely, the songs that I really hate are the ones that many of you probably enjoy for their goofy “retro” characteristics. But trust me, when the cute girl that you’re chasing as a HS junior only listens to Marky Mark, and doesn’t know who the fuck A Tribe Called Quest is, you will never again hear “Good Vibrations” without your ears bleeding.

"Africa" is catchy, and it's been well-established that it's the greatest song ever in the history of songs. And this song is absolutely, unquestionably one of the 5,000 worst of all time. Quick, name 4,999 worse ones. Thought so.<br /><br />@BH<br /><br />Tis' a solid point.
