On June 29, 1999, three young artists boasted to the world, "I like girls that wear Abercrombie & Fitch/ I’d take her if I had one wish/But she’s been gone since that summer."
Now, nearly nine years later, LFO is still inspiring groups of guys me to turn abysmal rhymes into pop crapsterpieces about the important issues of our day: hot girls and what hot girls are wearing. This one’s for you LFO, sung (naturally) to the tune of "Summer Girls" (which is embedded after the jump).
S Club 7 and Baz, they were all the rage
You’ll probs die from UV-rays
And boy was it rad when LFO was fad for that summer, for one summer
I like guys who wear white tees from the Gap
Baggy jeans, and think they can rap
But LFO’s been gone since that summer
Since that summer
Blazin’ hip-hop meets white-boy trash
Can’t imagine why you guys didn’t last
You’re the best group that I never did see
Was all ‘omigod’ when you was on MTV
You guys sang and fans shrieked like birds
You was like Shakespeare cuz you heart mad girls
Call you Billy Badass cause you sang like a baller
I don’t fit in Aber clothes cuz their sizes run smaller
Now I can’t forget you and I wish I had more
Dreamin ’bout a summer world-reunion tour
You left one day and I wonder where you go
Was sure that I’d catch ya on a VH1 show
I was so in love but now you ain’t around
I miss your frosted tips and your digitized sound
Other boy bands ain’t like LFO
Guys plus busted lyrics equals shameless clothes promo
Ha! I was just listening to this last night. It’s so nonsensical as to be classic and ever-amusing. Nice “rewrite.”
Heh. Good one. Nothing screams rap or hip hop like three muscley white boys singing about Abercrombie & Fitch. Nothing.
“Was all ‘omigod’ when you was on MTV”
Lovin’ your remix
I always felt so honored to know that Chinese food makes him sick!
IT’S JUST A FACT
“I don’t fit in Aber clothes cuz their sizes run smaller”
Beautiful! You are quite the lyricist, Ms. Hansen.
One of these guys was on the vh1 show operation man band. It was pretty lame also
billy shakespeare wrote a whole bunch of sonnents. wowwwwww, lfo, woww
That song was hilarious. These guys actually came to my town in 99/00 for a concert. I am from a small city in North Carolina, so it wasn’t like they were headlining at Madison Square Garden. My friend and I were at the mall in a CD store and it happened that they were going to be signing CDs there. They showed up from the back entrance and looked hungover as sh!t. There were like 20 girls there for the signing and they were all screaming and crying. Poor LFO… Chinese food makes me sick.
YES! Someone actually called in my hometown’s (Detroit) popular Top-40 (but mostly rap) radio station and requested this song. The DJ laughed at the caller and refused, but I agree with the requester – the song’s a classic!!
I had a friend who was actually IN the video for this song!
OMG! I like totally have their single! (Seriously, I do.)
I can’t believe it’s been nine years already. Makes me feel old! Honestly though, can anyone argue that the average Rhianna or Justin Timberlake song of this year is more advanced than that? Not all music has to be a meaningful masterpiece of thought. At least “Summer Girls” is catchy.
I could not stop laughing!! That brings back so many unwanted memories engraved in my middle school brain. But kudos to you my friend!
Nice remake, though I was half expecting you to throw in a NKOTB reference because of the reunion.
