LA RECENSIONE

And how can you forget the summer of 2005? The usual boring summer. Sure, friends, evenings at the cinema, afternoons at the beach, but it's always the same monotony.

Even musically, it's always the same thing. Now and then, some jerk comes up with a chorus inspired by listening to recordings from mental institution archives and, boom! The hit song is born, all the kids go crazy for it, and all the sane people (and, except for a few exceptions, all of us here at DeBaser) call for censorship from CODECON (I don't know if I spelled it right, it's the one that censors TV programs anyway). The Summer 2005 award for being a pain in the ass went to Gwen Stefani, hot as you like, but who drove us all into hysterics with that pathetic rap of " Hollaback Girl ", always on repeat, so if a minute went by and you hadn't started to hear that initial drum, it meant a short circuit had knocked out your electrical appliances.

Year 2006: after an album considered vibrant by the majority and simply extremely banal for me, the Black Eyed Peas decided to let their sexy singer Stacy Ferguson, known as Fergie, go solo for a bit. In just over two weeks, like a mushroom, Fergie's first solo album (titled "The Dutchess", a ridiculously banal reference to the Duchess of York) pops out onto the music scene. The chosen single? "London Bridge". What to say about this song? Three things:

1) MORE LIKE A MUSIC VIDEO IT SEEMS LIKE ONE NIGHT IN PARIS PT 2

2) IT'S PRODUCED BY WILL. I. AM'S RECORD LABEL

3) IT'S IDENTICAL TO HOLLABACK GIRL

There's not a single note of this rap that isn't the same as Gwen Stefani's. And there's not even a pixelated frame in the video that doesn't match Gwen Stefani's. Fergie is accompanied by two Japanese breakdancers (very reminiscent of Stefani's Harajuku Girls), she's dressed like Stefani (extremely low-rise pants and a white crop top), acting the badass throughout the video like good Gwen. In short: wasn't the quarterly crap enough, now a year later they're bringing it back? Shocking.

Fergie, get into volunteering!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary by Bot

The review criticizes Fergie’s solo debut single 'London Bridge' as a blatant, unoriginal copy of Gwen Stefani’s 'Hollaback Girl.' With a nearly identical rap, music video aesthetics, and production style, the reviewer finds it uninspired and repetitive. The review dismisses the song as a failed attempt to replicate past summer hits and calls for more creativity.

Tracklist Lyrics

01   London Bridge (03:30)

London Bridge

Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit.
Are you ready for this?
Oh, shit!
Oh!

It's me
Fergie
The pimp
Polow!
Fergie Ferg, what's up baby?!
Come on

When I come to the clubs, step aside (Oh, shit)
Pop the seats, don't be hating me in the line (Oh, shit)
V.I.P 'cause you know I gotta shine (Oh, shit)
I'm Fergie Ferg
And me love you long time (Oh shit)

All my girls get down on the floor (Oh, shit)
Back to back drop it down real low (Oh, shit)
I'm such a lady but I'm dancing like a ho (Oh, shit)
'cause you know I don't give a fuck so here we go! (Oh shit)

[Chorus (x2):]
How come every time you come around
My London London Bridge wanna go down
Like London London London wanna go down
Like London London London be going down like

The drinks start pouring
And my speech start slurring
Everybody start looking real good (Oh, shit)

The Grey Goose got your girl feeling loose
Now I'm wishing that I didn't wear these shoes (I hate heels)
It's like every time I get up on the dude
Paparazzi put my business in the news
And I'm like get up out my face (oh, shit)
'fore I turn around and spray your ass with mace (oh, shit)
My lips make you wanna have a taste (oh, shit)
You got that? I got the bass (Uh)

[Chorus x2]

Ah, da, da, da, da, doo, doo, doo, doo
[Speech:]
Me like a bullet type, you know they comin' right
Fergie love em' long time
My girls support right?

Ah, da, da, da, da, doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo, doo
Ah, da, da, da, da, doo, doo, doo, doo

[Speech:]
Me like a bullet type, you know they comin' right
Fergie love em' long time
My girls support right?

Another A.T.L.
Cali collabo
Fergie and Polow

When I come to the clubs, step aside (Oh, shit)
Pop the seats, don't be hating me in the line (Oh, shit)
V.I.P because you know I gotta shine (Oh, shit)
I'm Fergie Ferg
And me love you long time (Oh, shit)

All my girls get down on the floor (Oh, shit)
Back to back drop it down real low (Oh, shit)
I'm such a lady but I'm dancing like a ho (Oh, shit)
'cause you know I don't give a fuck so here we go! (Oh, shit)

[Chorus x2]

Shittin' all over the world
Fuck you bitches!

Fergie
