Lil John Wears Worlds Biggest Name Tag

I heard a rumor today that Lil John had been selected to be awarded the newly coined Jackson Prize for his vast and immeasurable contributions to the art of music. And even though I may have just made that up, I think we'd all have to agree that it would be the right thing to do! Lil John is an irreplaceable national treasure. An influence on my life, showing that turrets syndrome and a smoking problem can single handily save an absurd number of songs that tragically mixed a catchy beat with lyrics that induce my dry heave response. Just when I almost comprehend what the song is talking about I find myself wondering 'what who the hell was that?' If you don't remember 'from the windows to the walls', fret not, we now have this little gem:

As a note on the music video, I have to say that I'm disappointed. For a song sexing up alcohol poisoning and smoking weed I thought it'd have more of... you know... alcohol and weed. Instead I'm left confused and the sense I just watched a Best Buy commercial. For a song so perfectly, vividly explicit I have to wonder why they abstracted it to a wallflower sitting in a lively, bright eyed club scene. I guess this means there really is no way to make vomit smexy. Hear the bulimics? This is calling you out.

Drinking Game: take a drink whenever the guy looks like he's having a Lorelle moment OR when Lil John says anything that's not "Lets Go!", "Hey!", "What's Happening?", "Come On!", "Say What?", "Uhuh", "Hey Gurl!", or something that isn't already being sung by someone else.
