 (i didnt)
what exactly are you disappointed about - that i have more b'more hip hop cred than you b/c i know it; or that this one slipped under your radar?
 
 gotta 'fess up, i didn't know that song beforehand - had to search for it.  i also haven't heard it, so no idea if it's any good.  i know next to nothing about hip hop.  even mainstream stuff like fiddy i only know a fraction of what's on the radio or tv [/b]
you actually lose cred by knowing fiddy songs.

The more I think about this maybe one of the greatest song ever written... and it could apply to many of a male forumites.
 
 Well, I don't hate my parents
 I don't get drunk just to spite them
 I've got my own reasons to drink now
 Think I'll call my dad up and invite him
 I can sleep in till noon anytime I want
 Though there's not many days that I do
 Gotta get up and take on that world
 When your an adult it's no cliche it's the truth
 (Chorus)
 'Cause I'm an adult now
 I'm an adult now
 I've got the problems of an adult
 On my head and on my shoulders
 I'm an adult now
 I can't even look at young girls anymore
 People will think I'm some kind of pervert

 Adult sex is either boring or dirty
 Young people they can get away with murder
 I don't write songs about girls anymore
 I have to write songs about women
 No more boy meets girl boy loses girl
 More like man tries to figure out what the hell went wrong
 I can't take any more illicit drugs
 I can't afford any artificial joy
 I'd sure look like a fool dead in a ditch somewhere
 With a mind full of chemicals
 Like some cheese-eating high school boy
 Sometimes my head hurts and sometimes my stomach hurts
 And I guess it won't be long
 Till I'm sitting in a room with a bunch
 of people whose necks and backs are aching
 Whose sight and hearing's failing
 Who just can't seem to get it up
 Speaking of hearing, I can't take too much loud music
 I mean I like to play it, but I sure don't like the racket

 Noise, but I can't hear anything
 Just guitars screaming, screaming, screaming
 Some guy screaming in a leather jacket
 Wooah!
 (Chorus)
T.Rex

Word.
 
 Random Factoid o' the Day:
 
 TPOH played the very first HFStival (although it wasn't called HFStival back then) along with the Tragically Hip, Jawbox, and several other bands I can't recall.

Are you referring to that song "Last Cigarette"?
 
 That's a good one for Sonick.

that is a good one for sonick's personal playlist  :)
 
 but i was talking about The Pursuit of Hapiness - I'm an Adult Now.
 
 back home in canuckia, i remember the splash made by this hit - was all over the radio and MuchMusic (our MTV).  did it make any waves here at the time, or was it all below the surface?
