Genius

Ever wonder what's behind the lyrics of that song you heard on the radio - or what, exactly the lyrics really were? Wonder what that reference was in a speech? Heard about genius.com, a website that annotates music lyrics* and other things on Studio360 this AM & thought you might be interested.

I particularly like this song, that, of course, they bleeped out on the broadcast (so be careful, it's NSFW - not safe for work). And is it me, or has his girl friend left him for woman?



And now that you know the lyrics, here's a more traditional music video that's still fun

*Looked up Obama's 2nd inaugural, though, and unfortunately no one's annotated that wonderful moment when he ties gay rights into the nation's struggle for equal rights for women &amp for blacks in the line: "We, the people, declare today that the most evident of truths—that all of us are created equal—is the star that guides us still; just as it guided our forebears through Seneca Falls and Selma and Stonewall." As far as I can remember that's the only time (at least so far) that a president has mentioned Stonewall in any kind of a speech.
