My Humps

As if I needed another reason to love Ms. Alannis Morissette, here it is.

Her version of "My Humps."


Manages to make fun of the original for being vapid and dumb, while also conveying the sadness inherent in a the kind of girl who would want a life defined only by her desireableness.

It is still good even if you haven't seen the original...but here it is just in case:
"My Humps" by the Black Eyed Peas.

Oh. My. God.
Please tell me the BEP video is itself a parody of something else. Can ANYONE take that seriously? And, frankly, where's my icey? I have lady lumps too, after all.

Beeeeee,
Someone called me today asking about corkscrew wind turbines you attach to your house, and I thought of you. Sigh. I gave him my best Amy Bee answer: " Hmmm, seems like a fine idea, but, well, you don't want that thing to pull apart your house, now do ya?"

Here I thought they bought her all these "icees" as in the fabulous cherry drinks they sell at the movies and some gas stations.

Thanks for sharing that Amy. I too was HORRIFIED by the original. When it was first out, Chris and I talked about how that song could be made worse: if played at a wedding. ick factor: 10.

Hiya Ms. Bee!

Ooh, that NonAnon has hi-speed access now and do you too?

Me? Still dial-up and I could not get these videos to load. My third attempt. Surrendering, will try from work. Uh, on a break.

Hey, you are TAGGED. sorry, hope you will play along? G'wan. It is fun. Just found out you can tag celebrities and they MIGHT even respond!

Tag Fergie if you want. Or Ms. Morrisette. Or even... scary thought... NonAnon!

Nonanon--Hey yea! I have (god knows) lady lumps. I want some an Icey! Sadly, I don't think the BEP version is a parody...

Kari! Ah, the corkscrew turbine...put it on your house if you want, but don't think I'm coming to dinner!

Beth--I think I would rather have a Grape Icee than the bling sported by Ms. Fergie Ferg. I hope nobody would play this at their wedding, right? Right? Tell me I'm right?

Laundress--Tagged am I? I will certainly tag several someones, and probably Ms. Nonanon too!
