Drivin' round town with the girl I love

This song is amazing. I just called my brother and he suggested it to me. I was a little weary at first about the song based on the title. I assumed it would be just like one of those Top 40 songs that I just couldn't give a shit about. The song is called "Fuck You" by Cee-Lo Green. The song is just so amazing though I can't even tell you. It just has this classic but revamped Motown feel that you just don't hear out of popular music anymore.

The lyrics are pretty great-contrary to the title. It's kind of hokey but my favorite lyric reads "Now I know, that I had to borrow/ Beg and steal and lie and cheat/Trying to keep ya, trying to please ya/'Cause being in love with you ass ain't cheap." Now I know it isn't exactly a Shakespearian sonnet, but you have to hand it to Cee-Lo Green, it's a great lyric. His voice just has that gospel feel on the track too which just works so well with the all-female chorus. The song is a complete diamond in the rough and definitely worth a listen.
