Artist: Ceelo Green
Song Title: Fuck You
Summary of Music video
The artist likes a girl and tries to impress her but she doesn't show interest in him, it shows his development through his childhood crush to adolescence's and she rejects him then he becomes successful and she ends up being poor.
My view of the video
The song is quite funny, both intentionally and unintentionally. The intentionally funny bits are some of the lyrics, as the way he says them makes them hilarious (see "cause lovin' yo' ass ain't cheap!" and "ooh, she's a gold digga/just thought you should know nigga," for more). In my opinion, the unintentionally funny bits are the way he pronounces the words pain and change. I realise he needs to make the words fit the rhythm but they still make me crack up.
Incidentally, the edited version of this song is called "Forget You", which one would imagine doesn't have the same impact at all. No wonder I haven't been able to find that version on the ol' YouTube machine.
If you listen to his voice combined with the backing track, you get the feeling that he would've been successful in Motown in the 60s and 70s, along with the Jackson 5 and The Supremes. Although he would have to call it "Forget You" in that time period as well.
Definitely one to try, even if you don't like it. You have to listen to it at least once. Be warned though: once it's in your head, it might not ever leave.
