L.A.M.B: Lame And Miserable Ballad


If someone had told me that Gwen Stefani and Damian Marley, two of my all time favorites, had come out with a new song, I would have downloaded it from iTunes immediately without sampling it. Believe, when I turned on MTV hits and saw Gwen and Damian getting busy I was thrilled. Unfortunately, as bad as the video is (the long plaid shorts on the usually well-dressed Gwen are too disgusting for words)- the song “Now That You Got It” isn't much better.

I hesitated from the beginning to admit this statement. Part of me thought that the song might grow on me (I had a hard time with Garbage's third album and eventually grew to really cherish it). However, after a waiting period the results are in, and it’s not good.

The song is really bad. It's corny and cheesy, silly and dumb. It doesn't even really make any sense. The lyrics are so stupid I don't want to get into them (Gwenie Gwen Gwen has always had good lyrics- simple, but clever). Ugg. Just an overall disappointment.
