So I'm walking through the cosmetic department of a department store today when all of a sudden I realize not only are they not playing Christmas music but they are playing dancehall music. And not only are they playing dancehall music, which isn't such a big deal these days since BET and urban radio discovered Sean Paul and Elephant Man, but they are playing old dancehall music like early 90s dancehall music. Whoa!
Of course as I walked through irony of ironies what should be playing in the cosmetic department but Cutty Ranks lyrics of 'Retreat ugly gal surrender retreat pretty gal come fe tek ova". I wonder if anyone besides me noticed? Oh well.

What! They are not jocking for Christmas shoppers?
LOL! i think that song is quite fitting for the cosmetic department.
They were playing A Sean Paul Christmas melody the other day....
However the question is, Why were you walking through the cosmetic department????
Mannn, you get all the perks. How come that doesn't happen where I shop at.. Cosmetics playa? :)
Not in the stores down by me...anyhow the music has come a long way...
Yuh finish yuh C'mas shopping yet?
"Noh waan noh double-ugly, noh waan noh...fava monkey ... noh waan noh chimpanzee -- retreat!!" De most comic part is how intensely serious & motivated Cutty is in that song.
...Hmmm. Subliminal message in the song? I wudda nevah notice though, cz I still can't understand dancehall music, and I did grow up wid it. Go figure.
i was wlkig through the department, through i said through
That is too funny!
