A Motown song with curse words. NICE!

He's the only one right now who could bring up something worthwhile out of a redundant cuss word, then again, he could never do wrong in my book so my judgement might be a tad biased

I agree. He brings something exciting. If others had done it I'd been complaning but because it's Cee Lo, I don't know, he just brings EXCITEMENT to it. You could actually view the story behind the song! Something missing from songs I hear in this era.

And BEFORE anyone complains about the cursing, NEED I remind you old schoolers did this too:

I always play this to my friends who complain about the vulgarity of today's music. LaVern Baker had some mouth on her.

There's a song by Lucille Bogan back in the mid-30s titled "Shave 'em Dry", I don't remember the whole thing but I remember one line where she said something about "crabs coming out of your asshole like folks getting out of church in sunday" everytime I hear that shit, I have trouble picking my jaw from my the floor.

Its not what you said, its how you say it,,,,Richard Pryor already proved that theory.

Exactly.

Thank you, youtube!

If that song came out in 1986, everybody in the PMRC committee would have a stroke

I agree. He brings something exciting. If others had done it I'd been complaning but because it's Cee Lo, I don't know, he just brings EXCITEMENT to it. You could actually view the story behind the song! Something missing from songs I hear in this era.

Both comments nailed it.

Cee Lo is the man and I just adore his music.

I wonder if his look is what holds him back from being bigger than he is. (no puns intended)

You should checkout his twitter. Dude listens to a ton of different styles of music, though he sure does listen to a lot of Prince (as if his music didn't give it away).

Love ya Lo!

Its a no brainer, but he'll def be around for a long time. If this industry could give Luther a chance, this man could get it as well.

To me, I marvel at how his music evolved through out the years, he's def one of the few male singers nowadays who still keeps me guessing whats his next musical move will be.

My favorite vid and song by him is, "who's gonna save your soul". That video, with the "singing heart", was incredible!!

Co-sign both of y'all. CeeLo gets a pass from me because the way he uses lyrics is totally engaging and relatable rather than simply using gratuitous profanity.

I love the hell outta CeeLo...he's a mess!

Well, alrighty then!

This mess right here, should prove once and for all, that the success of Prince's "secular" output had nothing at all to do with the fact that he cussed!

I love cussing and I love Cee Lo but this right here is just WHACK as all hell, fuck and shit!!!

No, I will not give him a pass because I KNOW he can do better! I've heard him do it!

Exactly, it just sounds to me like he was goofing around I wish people could hear the humor in it

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

lmao. i looove catchy tounge and cheek-ness of the song!!

Can not wait for this cats album!

Awesome track! I totally love it!

Cee Lo is about the only artist creating new music that I can respect.

Yes the track is crass, but the sentiment fits perfectly and it is refreshing.

This track is going to blow up, not on radio but on downloads.

My favorite song of the year by far.

I get the fact that "he is really good at making oddball type of songs". That is what endeared me to him, in the first place!

I am a straight 'phene for that oddball type of shit because game has no choice but to recognize game!

*Due to copyright shit, you'll have to double click and go to Youtube to hear this.

For those that don't know, that IS Cee Lo spiting that shit with the yet unknown Outkast, on this track. He was in the Goodie Mob back then! When that shit right there, hit my ears, I was HOOKED!

Seriously speaking though, F**K YOU is so NOT oddball! To me, it sounds like some shit he threw together while sitting his ass on the toilet and somebody was on the phone pressing him for a song!

LOL! We ain't gonna fight about it. I am far from an authority on CeeLo and not claiming to be one, so please allow me to make my little discoveries in peace.

this shit is crazy
