Bruno Mars...

Yes, the title of this post is Bruno Mars. His music is way pop-ish and to be honest, I don't really dig too much of the music on today's radio. I've got more of an old school ear...like some Warren G. Now THAT is what I like. But after seeing Bruno Mars music video for "Lazy Song" or whatever it is called...I've realized a few things.
1. What's with the monkeys? Reminds me of a modern version of Wizard of Oz...or Power Rangers. Either way, it's weird.
2. The lyrics are lame and are a complete reflection of today's music. At one point he just says "ya" for about 10 seconds. Was there really no other words you could have used? Singing ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya really describes what you wanted to say and how you feel? Bruno Mars, get yo' self a book and start expanding that vocabulary of yours ;)
3. A song about being lazy. How about a song about busting your butt and working hard? You let me know when you got that one recorded.
4. What's with him dropping his pants and pelvic thrusting like there is not tomorrow?? Can you say awkwwwward when that part came on WHILE I was watching tv with my Mom?! Keep it behind closed doors BM.
5. Lastly...the only good thing about that video is his face. I would have never guessed that's what Bruno Mars looked like. Now that I think about it, I have NO idea what these new singers look like these days. But his face...yes...I will accept that. The OG glasses and that hair..I dig it.

If only he could say something intelligent rather than how he is gonna do nothing all day except dance with some monkeys.
