Much to my chagrin, this asinine piece of tripe continues to play on the radio. How low can Stefani stoop? The lyrics are vacuous and juvenile, to say the least, although I do have to admit, it is kinda catchy in that "I-can't-get-this-fricken-annoying-song-out-of-my-head" kind of way.

Uh huh, this my shit
All the girls stomp your feet like this

A few times I've been around that track
So it's not just gonna happen like that
Cause I ain't no hollaback girl
I ain't no hollaback girl
[2x]

Oooh, this my Shit , this my Shit [4x]

I heard that you were talking shit
And you didn't think that I would hear it
People hear you talking like that, getting everybody fired up
So I'm ready to attack, gonna lead the pack
Gonna get a touchdown, gonna take you out
That's right, put your pom-poms down, getting everybody fired up

A few times I've been around that track
So it's not just gonna happen like that
Cause I ain't no hollaback girl
I ain't no hollaback girl
[2x]

Oooh, this my Shit , this my Shit [4x]

So that's right dude, meet me at the bleachers
No principals, no student-teachers
Both of us want to be the winner, but there can only be one
So I'm gonna fight, gonna give it my all
Gonna make you fall, gonna sock it to you
That's right, I'm the last one standing, another one bites the dust

A few times I've been around that track
So it's not just gonna happen like that
Cause I ain't no hollaback girl
I ain't no hollaback girl
[2x]

Oooh, this my Shit , this my Shit 4x]

Let me hear you say, this shit is bananas
B-A-N-A-N-A-S
this shit is bananas
B-A-N-A-N-A-S
Again, this shit is bananas
B-A-N-A-N-A-S
This shit is bananas
B-A-N-A-N-A-S

A few times I've been around that track
So it's not just gonna happen like that
Cause I ain't no hollaback girl
I ain't no hollaback girl
[2x]

Oooh, this my Shit , this my Shit [4x]

So, after hearing this song (can I even call it that?) for the third time today, I got to wondering, WTF is a "Hollaback Girl" anyway? I consulted my favourite trusty slang deciphering site, Urban Dictionary, and I think I found a plausible definition:

Hollaback Girl - Word Gwen made up to drive us B-A-N-A-N-A-S trying to figure out what it means.

Usage - Gwen: Hey, I have an idea... I will make up a word that nobody really knows the meaning of and put it in a song and try to make people figure out what it means. It will drive them bananas. Oh! I should put that in the song too!!

Sh$t, I thought I was the only one that hated that song... I find it akin to metal screeching on a chalkboard...

It's the absorption of black rap culture into white pop culture. In the beginning, it was groups like the Beastie Boys who had something intelligent to say. Then it was sheer mimickry of black rage with a white face with Eminem. Now not only is it acceptable to be a white rapper, and to be an angry white rapper, but also to be a dumb white rapper. Enter Stefani the Brainless.

I made the same damn mistake... for "Rich Girl" right? Yes, I am so embarrassed to admit it, but I actually bought a Gwen Stefani CD... and not even the "hit song" was good once I heard it on a decent system... it sounded catchy on the radio, but absolutely dreadful once I got it home... this is a song best saved for discos.

The rest of the CD... man, don't even get me started.

Oh well, you live and learn... this will be my first and last Stefani CD.

I actually like Eminem... his best work has to be The Eminem Show... I love all the Bush hating lyrics on that CD... White America... Cleaning Out the Closet... at least 2-3 others I can't think of the name right now.. that CD has some good songs on it.

I also thought the song "Stan" from his previous album was good... and there are a couple good ones from Encore, but what will probably be his best work ever is The Eminem Show... There's not much left to rap about without being repetitive and I doubt anything he does in the future will top that.

your mom says hi.
the only song on that gwen cd i liked was that one i think called "what you waiting for?" played in a lot of bars back east when i went back for christmas. everything else of hers that i have heard i think sucks.

as for georgebushmoron, hip hop doesn't have to be about "black rage". hip hop is a music that is born out of poverty and misery, are blacks the only people that experience this? whites have been in hip hop since the very beginning of the music. not just the beastie boys. if eminem lived the same experience as other "black" ghetto youth then why can't he express it? not a big fan of his anymore anyway though. for me his best album was his first and everything after that kinda went down hill.

granted i do think most all new hip hop out there right now is garbage cause there isn't even a positive message to it anymore and without going big into it, most of the new shit is just fucked up. gbm, i hate to sound cocky here but i cannot be debated on the history of hip hop issue, cause you see i have been in it and around it ever since i can remember and that isn't long after the birth of the music and culture itself.

There are the girls who do the "hollering" who are the leaders, and the girls who do the "hollering back" who are the followers. Ms. Stefani is not a follower; she ain't no "holler back" girl.

Sounds like some kind of ancient dialect of Martian. Thanks for the translations, ladies. Lisa's explanation is what first occurred to me, but Alexandria's is way more interesting.

Is this that hurtin chick that used to be with No Doubt??

What radio station is this usually on. I only listen to 101.

I bought the No Doubt CD (this was before downloading) and traded it.

I hate all 21st century pop music.

LOL ... I am not so good with this language.

I thought Gwen was screaming out: " I ain't no whoring-black-girl ... I ain't no whoring-black-girl ".

True ... she is not black. Love her butt in those red panties by the way ... and Maverick, your signature is so gay bro.

Yo Bruddha :)
