Lookin’ for the right time to shoot my steam

I just learned that the title of the hit song by Nelly about taking all your clothhhhhhhhhhhes off is actually spelled “Hot in Herre.” I have been spelling it wrong all this time. I apologize to all you Nelly fans.

Oh, Nelly has many fans. For example: Miss Flawless, who wrote the following in response to some anti-Nelly postings at Leo’s Lyrics Database:

Yo! Alla mah peeps out durr dat dissin’ dis song… y u in hurr.. 2 begin wit. It jus shows dat u lookin’ fo sum shit! stop dissin’ n hatin’ cuz u ain’t 1 a dem… peace mah peeps… holla lata!

Hello, Christopher Guest? Could you please make your next movie about hip hop? I would really like that. I will help out and make you yummy sandwiches if you make your next movie about hip hop. And get 50 Cent to star in it. Or Eugene Levy as 50 Cent.

Ow. I think I just pulled something.

The double “r” thing happened before, with “dirrty” by Christina. I wonder Y the double R. I will research it and get back 2 U.

There does exist a company called Durr. They’re one of those companies that offers technologies, systems and solutions. When you watch the little flash movie at their website, it’s a race against time to figure out what they actually make and sell before the movie ends. OH, you’re engineers! “e-manufacturing” must mean programming! Ha! You clever monkeys.

Apparently, Mr. Original Durr was a tinsmith. He acquired the title of “Tinsmith Master to the Royal Court of Wurttemberg” in 1911. Now that’s a title!

More Journey

From the liner notes of the recently purchased “Journey’s Greatest Hits Live!” album.

“…the quintet defined arena rock, as they cast a magical spell over their audience woven by Steve Perry’s soaring vocals, Neal Shon’s electrifying guitar, Jonathan Cain’s fluid keyboards, Ross Valory’s precise bass, and Steve Smith’s flawless drumming.”
– Melinda Newman of Billboard Magazine

Melinda is obviously trying to stomp out the embers of Journey’s once-bright, hot-fire sex appeal. (If you could see the pictures in the booklet, you’d know she has nothing to worry about.) I’ll grant her that the bass player is generally the least interesting member of a band. But couldn’t somebody have given her a thesaurus?

Hence, a new collective term: A precision of bass players.
