Forgot to mention in the previous post which version of “Low” I despise. It ain’t REM’s. It ain’t Cracker’s version either.

It’s you Flo Rida.

She hit the flo
(She hit the flo)
Next thing you know
Shawty got low low low low low low low low.

Speaking of which, did you see the killer headline on the New York Post front page today.

I had my money on “Hooker Crook.”

They destroyed that one.

    Thank God. I was worried you didn’t like the Cracker version which — merits of the bad itself aside — is a pretty great song.

    I was betting on the POST going with: SCREWED! I thought they might even have, in small type above it, “(professionally).” Ah, well.

    But there is very little the POST can’t screw up. They interviewed a friend of mine on the death of Gary Gygax, and all his dancer-from-the-dance, teller-from-the-tale soul searchery was reduced to the fact that he concealed D&D from his girlfriend for a while. Lousy POST.

    Saw that the good Gov’s campaign slogan was “Bringing Passion to Albany.”

    Mission Accomplished!!

    That song may suck, but I still get a kick out of that dude’s name. He’s a Floridian, and he’s reppin’ his home. Yet the name also means that he’s ridin’ the flo’! How perfect is that?

    The Post headline should have been “Spitzer Swallows.”

    I was surprised so many readers didn’t immediately think of Flo Rida’s Low, given how ‘now’ it is. I think the group is revealing their age.

  7. 7: Brian said at 12:04 pm on March 11th, 2008:

    I’m thinking of becoming a rapper and going by the name “Illin’ Oy”. Too bad I’m not Jewish or that’d be perfect.

  8. 8: G Young said at 1:08 pm on March 11th, 2008:

    If “now” means “on the radio,” then I started showing my age about the time I turned 13.

    That being said, I’m more than eager to put out a hip hop album under the moniker Kan’s Ass.

    Thanks for clearing that up! Though I don’t think I’ve heard the “Low” you’re referring to…

    I like the Daily News Headline better:

    The Pay for Luv Guv

    I had my money on “Elliot Licks-er.”

    We’ve got some budding headline writers here! Very creative.

    Jeremy (comment 9) and anyone else who hasn’t hear the song:
    You’re lucky. It, like everything else on Top 40-format stations, is…mystifying. The mystery is, how the hell did these folks get recording contracts? And who is buying their stuff? Gross.

  14. 14: KJ said at 4:26 am on March 12th, 2008:

    Should I feel old or un-hip? Never heard of Flo Rida. I have a hard time listening to any commercial radio nowadays due to the repetition and overall sameness of the songs and artists. I feared that you were referring to Cracker…

    I prefer Stephen Colbert’s suggestion: Eliot Mess

  16. 16: Rob said at 6:35 am on March 12th, 2008:

    Don’t feel old. Don’t feel un-hip. Feel blessed. This is the first site I check every morning when I get into work and the fact that I’m going to have this miserable attempt at music going through my head all day makes me shudder.

    What is Spitzer’s VORG (Value Over Replacement Governor)? I think his OPS (Outlandish Payments for Sex) was pretty high.

  18. 18: Paulson said at 12:51 pm on March 12th, 2008:

    How ’bout: Eliot Spitzer hard to swallow.

    Could you write a curiously long post (or a part thereof) on Soria and whether or not he should go into the Royals rotation at some point in the future? I saw your comments about Soria in the 2008 AL Central preview at BaseballAnalyst.com. It seemed like you were kind of down on the idea of Soria going to the rotation and brought up the point that rookies don’t start as closers and then become starters. There are quite a few examples of very good starting pitchers who started as relievers (Pedro, Schilling, Escobar, Santana and others). Were you trying to say that the Royals should not move him to the rotation or that they probably will not? Or both? Or something else.

    Personally, I think they should use him as a reliever and spot starter to get him up to 90-100 innings this year and then use him primarily as a starter in 2009, getting him up to about 120-130 innings. Right now it looks like he has the pitches, control and mechanics to be able to handle starting. If that proves to not be the case, then they can chalk it up to a nice try and move him back to the bullpen.

    Sabrehagen was a reliver at first

    Low is a great song. By the way, hip hop is not all the same.

  22. 22: the beast said at 6:25 pm on March 13th, 2008:

    ain’t the same when you up that close/
    make it rain I’m makin it snow/
