I would totally flip out if Cee Lo hooked up with Prince. But knowing how tame Prince nowadays, I would settle with Cee covering one of his dark eerie funky songs,,,,like "Shockadelica" or even "Darling Nikki", I could hear Cee Lo murking this to death like I could I heard the traffic outside my window just now excited




Shame about the low vocal mix but there ya go...




One of my favorite things about that performance was the fact two of my favorites were performing Prince song together. It was totally random and unexpected.

I don't know what song used to be the most sung at karaoke bars, but from now on I predict it's going to be this one.

Holy crap, what a great song. This is like a classic. Better than any of the new Prince songs, even though I like 20Ten. Great, almost perfect chorus. This guy just doesn't let you down.

All you others say Hell Yea!! woot!

I was really hoping to like this. neutral

To me, it just sounds like a rather pedestrian "she done me wrong" song with some nice production and admittedly great vocals. Some of the lyrics were pretty cringeworthy- the Xbox and Atari one comes to mind. Maybe it'll take time to sink in.

I think the song is supposed to be tounge and cheek like. I mean it's called "fuck you" You can't be trying to act to serious with a song called "fuck you" lol

It may not be a serious song but Cee Lo is crazy like a fox because he's getting serious buzz for it... which I believe was likely the intent in the first place.

Cee-Lo's vitriolic video on YouTube goes viral

  • Cee-Lo GreenAP – FILE - In this Sept. 4, 2008 file photo, Cee-Lo Green arrives at the 8th annual BMI Urban Awards in Beverly …

NEW YORK – A catchy but expletive-laden new song from Cee-Lo has quickly gone viral.

The title includes an expletive but racked up more than 1.8 million views by Tuesday afternoon after being posted last week on Cee-Lo's YouTube page.

Cee-Lo is best known as half of the duo Gnarls Barkley. The video is merely a colorful stream of the song's lyrics but has created a stir nonetheless.

The song bounces to an up-tempo, '50s soul beat, but the lyrics are a message to a gold-digging ex-girlfriend. A clean version has played on British radio with the words "forget you" substituted.

Cee-Lo tweeted that "a bit of history" had been made with the song and that he was "amazed." It has already spawned mash-up videos and a response featuring 50 Cent.

Cee-Lo has promised a full video ahead of his solo album, "The Ladykiller," due out this year.

I can't get enough of this track, and not because of the expletive. I love it because of the sentiment, behind it. He is just singing, what some of us are feeling. This is what music is all about, stirring something up inside of the listener.

Totally agree. His music strikes a chord with me and I am so excited that others are starting to catch on.

He just oozes soul.

His music really reminds me of someone I USED to know's music and it gives me that feeling I USED to get,

Here is an EW article about this becoming so viral and he wants to take up residency in Vegas to support the LadyKiller album (which does not come out until Dec. sad ) I guess I will just have to keep spinning "Stray Bullets" until then.

Cool little tune. I haven't been so inundated with pop trash as to call a a bit of bread cake. It's decent but not 'awesome' IMO.

Did Prince ever deny he had sex with his sister? I believe not. So there U have it..

I can't get this song out of my head. I have been playing it over and over all week.

Sounds so retro and yet brand new all at the same time.

My name is Naz!!! and I have a windmill where my brain is supposed to be.....

I've been repeating this song all week. I love it!!

It sounds classic and fresh all at the same time.

It rocks, it's funky and it's got soooo much soul!

The juxtaposition of sounding sweet while talking shit is perfect.

And, yes, it's fukkin' hilarious!! I really worry about the sense of humor of anyone that doesn't find this funny...

biggrin

It's still August but this is my vote for song of the year!

Not dead, not in prison, still funkin'...

He's used to this considering he also wrote "Don't Cha" and "Crazy".

I know but he might shy away from promoting this one/radio might ignore it cuz of all the swearing.

All you have to do it *like it* to unlock the video. Pretty clever.

Video is cute.
