Cee Lo Green Tries His Lyric Schtick at ‘Anyway’

Is it me, or is ‘F*ck You’ just completely played out already? Yes? Like, when you hear it on the radio, you actually have to turn it right off (even if the only other choice is Michael McDonald), where you used to jam and jam and jam? So why – WHY! – do a song called ‘Anyway’ that has almost the exact same chord progression as the aforementioned ‘F*ck You’, and try to disguise it by speeding up the tempo (but still using the apparently-you-can’t-read cop-out of a “music video”)? That’s supposed to be new? Innovative? Please.

Plus, the song’s apparently written about an ex-girlfriend that used to clean up Cee Lo’s mutton puke after he’d had too much tequila and E. Pretty classy on all levels here, friends.

Sorry, C, but I don’t think that ‘Anyway’ is going to catch on quite like ‘F*ck You’ did. But you probably already knew that the second it hit airwaves, now, didn’t you?
