Hunt me down with your super technology, MC!
Let's talk about song lyrics for a minute. Has anyone heard the new Mariah Carey song "Touch My Body"? This song cracks me up. First of all, YouTube should never be mentioned in a song. Ever. This is like back when N'Sync came up with a song called "Email Me" or "IM Me" or something. See how I don't remember? Yeah that's because those words shouldn't be in a song. They instantly ban your song, and possibly your whole CD, from becoming classics. I seriously doubt that when we're 60 our "oldies" stations will be playing any songs involving newfangled technological concepts that have long since passed. It's like instantly dating yourself and your song.
So Mariah, no one is going to put a video of you on YouTube that you didn't put up there yourself. But the next line is the absolute best and why I can't make myself change the station when this song comes on: if this lil video DOES end up on YouTube, Mariah sings sweetly, "I will hunt you down." So freaking random and hilarious, except I really don't think she's trying to be creepy/funny, which makes it a kazillion times better.

Whoa whoa whoa... if you are referring to N Sync's "Digital Get Down", don't hate. That song is, and forever will be, a classic.
