Did you watch the fucking video bra?
I'm not talking about the song. I'm talking about that obscenely racist and utterly non-sensical video.
The chorus is infectious as HIV, even though it sucks... but damn those lyrics are fucking stupid.
"The wild dogs cry out in the night / as they grow restless, longing for some
solitary company (WHAT????)
I know that I must do what's right /
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Seeeeerengetiiiiiiiii (REALLY???)
Also with the video in mind, the chorus doesn't work.
"it's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you / there's nothing a hundred men or more could ever do" ... should really be
"it's not going to take much to drag me away from you / there's nothing a hundred white guys without spears could ever do as-long-as-there-are-no-black-guys-with-spears-hanging-out-with-them"
Anyway it's the video that's the real insult to music, videos, music videos, libraries, Africa, Africans, black people, and honestly white people too.
