Song of the Night

I'm changing the name! I know, I know, it's only the second night I'm doing this and I'm already making horrible, drastic changes. I just figure that because I'm doing this at night, it tends to defeat the purpose of calling it "Song of the Day". So... here we are.

I also apologize for starting this series with such a song that was deeply personal for me. So to make up for it, I bring you a very fun song; tonight, I present you with Kennedy "Karate".

I kind of like the slow start that lulls you into the mood. The guitar and synth are a great preparation for this thudding bass and drum combo that melds delightfully in this modern disco sound. Kennedy's voice then comes in and the lyrics pretty much lay it straight for you:

"I know Karate

I Know Jujitsu

I Drive Like a Gangsta when I'm coming to see you"

This song has a light playful feel to it while trying to stay casually romantic. Kennedy is inherently charming and there is no way to resist it. There is something deeply addictive about the rhythm and the lyrics are unbelievably fun to sing along with. I find it also interesting that he dedicates so much love to this one lady that when she asks him if she's the only one he has a group of his bro's calling out "HELL YEAH".

I really don't have much else to say about this song because it's all quite self explanatory. I really only wanted to give you snippets of lyrics, but the whole damn song is just so awesome:

I don't need no nine mil glock

These hands are deadly guns

From smokin, drinkin, bein a thug

I sip hypnotyq from a coffee mug

I keep a healthy state of mind

I only drink and drive night

(Chorus)

I know Karate

I Know Jujitsu

I Drive Like a Gangsta when I'm coming to see you

And I'm coming to see you all the time

I Got a bottle of cheap jug wine

Pop some pills and make some love and try to recline

I like to drive into the sun

I like it when your sitting gun

My single is on, it's number one

I know Karate

I Know Jujitsu

I Drive Like a Gangsta when I'm coming to see you

i know Karate

I got some mojo

But holding hands aint something I do, thats true!

My best girl asked me if she's the only one

I gotta be blunt, I say

(everybody) Hell yeah!!!

My only real complaint with the song is that it's not long enough.
