Oh dont worry, I've got the remix disc as well as the album ;) But as Mikal pointed out, you're here raving over a woman singing 'I'll be burning rubber, you'll be kissing my ass', joking or not, and yet you've described the harmless metaphor 'you can stand under my umbrella' as 'unbearably terrible'. Please!

I like Rihanna and Shirley :huh:

 

They cater for pretty much completely different audiences, it's unlikely both will appeal to most people surely?

it's called camp, Jark. Plus I think you'll find she didn't pen the lyrics.

 

As for you having remixes of the pop trash - all I suggest is, when you get any potential suitors wanting to sift through your CD collection, mouth to them that you're deaf and pretend you have none then shift them out of the room to save any potential embarrassment... also, I wouldn't quote any of the Umbrella lyrics if you're penning love notes... they're TERRIBLY teenage, don't you think?

Thats the joy of it! Half the album buying audience are teenage or young, so shes worked it well hasnt she ;)

which, of course, refers back to my original point on the crushing banality and simpleton-like lyrics of Umbrella. And it's not only the lyrics that are childish - the structure of the song, the production, the um-ber-el-la-la-la refrain.... how many syllables in umbrella, Rihanna, love? :rolleyes:

 

Bless her.
