This is Embarrassing but

I'm willing to bet you remember the LFO song about girls that wear Abercrombie and Fitch. You know, "Summer Girls."

While reminiscing with a friend about shitty 90's boy bands, this song came up. We find the video on YouTube. And THEN we realized how much more there really is to this song. 

And by how much MORE, i mean, how completely insane it is that the song ever even made the radio. 

If you remember the A&F part of the song, you probably remember the line, "Chinese food makes me sick." Great, dude. Where the fuck does that fit in the song?

Secondly, this fine bro-ed group of guys decided decided that, oh yeah, LFO is in fact an acronym. In the process of sitting together at the work table and trying to come up with their band name, they got "Lyte Funky Ones" ......... It's not even like people KNEW that was their name. They skipped straight to the acronym so WHY spell it "lyte?"

The driving factor of this rant comes from the absolute nonsense lyrics that I don't remember anyone catching... Specifically, the shout outs to famous people....

"Billy Shakespeare wrote a whole bunch of sonnets" --- What????
"There was a good man named Paul Revere. I feel much better baby when you're near" - Where does Paul Revere fit?
"I'll steal your honey like I stole your bike." --- Why is this guy stealing my shit?
"Like the color purple, macaroni and cheese, Ruby red slippers and a bunch of trees" - what...
"I like Kevin Bacon, but I hate footloose." - I happen to like Footloose. But regardless, what does this have to do with Summer Girls??

What were you on, LFO???
And what's sad is when they get one-upped by O-Town singing "Liquid Dreams"

So bad.
