Hipsters, pop lovers, and old timers are all in for a mofo-ing treat this afternoon. This is the new music video from Cee-Lo-Green (the other half of Gnarls Barkley), called ‘Fuck You’.
I’m going to attempt to explain why this amazing video will cause my 60 year old Jewish mother to simultaneously say ‘oy vey, such terrible language!’ while dancing around the room.

1) Cee-Lo-Green has condensed decades of soul music, Motown, early R&B, and funk into simple, no-frills-bullshit nomenclature. Every love song in the history of mankind has beaten around the bush. But Cee-Lo does it so easily, and without being offensive. Instead of throwing in obscenities for shock value (like we do), Cee-Lo is just honestly reporting his feelings. And for that, I thank him with a hearty ‘fuck you’.
2) What person hasn’t had their heart broken? After listening to old mix Cds (or playlists for you young kids) for a 21-day bender, who hasn’t had these same feelings? Especially the line: Although there’s pain in my chest and I wish you best…..with a fuck you. Fuck. Fuck you. Hehehe.
2) The song is catchy, in a stripped down Gnarls Barkley/Black Eyed Peas type way. Cee-Lo has an angelic voice, and ain’t afraid to belt it to the heavens. Is he possibly the next Isaac Hayes? The male version of Amy Winehouse? (He did have her producer collaborate on some tracks for the new album.) Hopefully he is not another megalomaniac like Will-I-Am.
3) Did you see what Cee-Lo was wearing? The man is obviously some sort of college-type blipster (black hipster) like his friend DJ Dangermouse. His suit in the video is hip, complete with an oldschool pocket watch w/ chain included. His ‘College garb’, while definitely 1950s looking, was also outrageously 2010 Hipster. The flannel, the fake matching glasses, and the skinny tie to match? Somebody went on a shopping spree to Urban Outfitters!
Oh yeah, and he covered a Band of Horses song earlier this year. Total blipster.
i <3 Cee-lo. come play music on my all-white wealthy college campus. plzzz take our parent's trust fund money!
Can’t wait for this new album…screw legitimate ‘indie’ acts. JK. Luv you Animal Collective.
