MIB

So last Sunday I was watching Men in Black the movie. I realized how much I really did enjoy it. It was fun, good special effects... I love that giant cockroach creature at the end. Sure enough, a few days later I find myself listenning to the Men in Black Soundtrack on the way to school.

What an amazing soundtrack! The biggest shock was that after all these years, I still remember the words to most of the songs. Particularly Make You Happy that my cousins and I used to sing, arguing over the lyrics:

Baby let me make it happen
Take you ridin' in my caddy
If you want me, you can have me
You can even call me daddy
Good lovin' chocolate covered
Sweeter than a mother, mother (MOTHAAAAA!!!!!)
Make you never want another
Freak you underneath the covers

I can make it happen
If you want me to
Let me make ya happy like your man won't do

One thing I seemed to notice for the first time, is that for a movie about extra-terrestrials about to destroy the planet, the vast majority of the songs are about getting "freaked underneath the covers".

Excellent soundtrack, but I have to admit when Men in Black started playing on my diskman with Will Smith busting out those High School Homeboy lyrics, I turned down the volume. It was pretty embarassing. I could just see some white guy popping up out of nowhere, "Are you listenning to Men in Black by Will Smith??? Dude... that is so gay!"

Why doesn't Will smith make raps to his movies anymore? Those were good times for everyone... I, Robot could have used a cheesy ass rap song.

In bed I'm like a Robot
Makin' love to my Ho Bot

Now Dance wit me, Just Dance wit me, Just dance wit me!!!
Let me see you just slide with me, just slide with me, just slide with me!!!

Yeah... And they could play it on the radio every two minutes. And there would be an awesome music video with robots dancing with Will Smith... Bad Boys, The Legend of Bagger Vance, Ali... All should have cheesy title raps!! In fact... I say they make a law, that any movie with a black guy, the lead actor should do a rap song. Malcolm X. The Negotiator. Training Day. Amistad. Play the race card up!!!!! I can't wait to have my own movie.

I'm a rapper slash actor
Welcome to Gregg Factor
Bulldozin' Mc's like a tractor
That's why I macked em' and sacked her!

Yeh. I can see the music video with corny dance.... Motions like driving a tractor intermixed with pelvic thrusts. Greggscellent.
