Some Goddamn Supertramp Fan

Friends,

What's worse that Supertramp's Breakfast in America song? (Oh you know it, it's that... "Take a look at my girl-friend / she's the only one I got"... song).

How about a partial rap cover of it by a group called Gym Class Heroes, only they call their version Cupid's Chokehold. I had it on MTV this morning and I heard the sweet sounds of a Supertramp chorus, and I thought...can't be. So I watch the video (embedded below for your pleasure) and it's pretty damn strange. It seems like it's trying to be both a funny video and a sweet romantic video...with dancing children in underwear. So...is it rap's first romcom video? I don't know...but they steal from Supertramp...so I guess they have that going for them I suppose. And, they also have an alternate version of this video that can be found on the other end of this link....HERE.


Maybe I need to write a new version, like "Take a look at my mustache / it's the only one I got"

It writes itself! Weird Al has nothing on me. Here's the video:



Viva el mustache.
