Sexually explicit and profane lyrics

Umm, so.. I'm just saying.. DON'T watch this music video at work; it is the most pornographic music video I've ever scene (that wasn't an actual porn). And, for that, it is passingly interesting.

But there is more.. I am saying that you *should* watch this music video when you're ready for some neo-Miami-bass (and nakedness), courtesy of those 2 Live Crew aficionados, Bangers and Cash. These guys put out some pretty ridiculous music; it's totally over the top - with EXTREMELY sexually explicit and profane lyrics - but I think it's done in a wink-wink sort of way. And damn if they don't have a deep, deep, and crazydancey bassline (again, in a stripper sort of way) in most of their tracks.. something that makes the whole operation palatable.

Umm.. I'm not sure if I'm really selling this one too well (and I'm not sure I should be selling it at all!). So without further ado, just check out their latest video - courtesy of the FiftyOne:FiftyOne blog:

Bangers and Cash feat. Amanda Blank - Loose

(The link above takes you to a blog with a link to the video, along with a little bit of commentary; access the video directly here, but, again, it is EXPLICIT - nakedness abounds.)

Some people like these guys (like Fader magazine) and some people absolutely hate them (misogyny - winks or not - does that, you know?), but let me say that after I saw it, I went out and bought some champagne.

Just kidding (I already owned the champagne). haha. You see, never is there enough champagne in your possession; it seems to bring out the best in people, or, at least, it enhances the potential for silly exuberance. In fact, any sort of sparkling wine - and the willingness to spray it around the room - works too; most people don't know the difference. ;)

UPDATE 121307: Yikes, looks like the video has been pulled for some reason, even the direct link to the Bangers and Cash site doesn't work. C'est la vie..
