Driver roll up the partition please/ I dont need you seein Yoncé - TopicsExpress

Driver roll up the partition please/ I dont need you seein Yoncé on her knees... My favourite songs of 2014. #2: Yoncé/ Partition by Beyoncé. [Warning: Since this is my #2 song; Im just gonna go off on it for a while.] I had to use that line... my eyes nearly popped out of my head and I started snorting with laughter when I first noticed it (15 December 2013, 2 days after her album was surprise-released). I only fell for the song properly a few days later, when Charl, Riedwaan and I were driving around Pretoria blasting Bs album. We were passing the Union Buildings when this song came on and that intro, that beat, those nasty lyrics... they all JUST DONT FIT Pretoria SO MUCH that I couldnt help but fall in love with it at that moment. [Aside: That intro!! The second-best intro of the year, second only to Queen Bs OTHER Best Intro... this one probably the Best Intro Of All Time. Watch the 13-second clip here: on.fb.me/14cciLS] This song is just epic on so many levels; I couldnt stop listening to it and dancing around to it all year; 56 weeks later, its still in my Current list and I rarely skip it. So many lines from this song would be in my favourite lyrics of the year list if I ever get around to making that one: I sneezed on the beat and the beat got sicka... - My favourite lyric of the entire year. It made me smile the first time I noticed it, and still makes me smile every time I hear it. Radio say, Speed it up, I just go slower... - In one line, the reason I (and so many others) reacted so ... err.. dramatically to Bs album. R&B/ hip-hop were supposed to be dying on radio/ in the charts... on her previous album in 2011, Beyonce had followed the radio trend and made a number of dance-y tracks, but I was mostly bored - and even she sounded bored with herself (and said as much in interviews for her 2013 album). So she decided to not follow trends and just do music that she would want to listen to... the result was an album that broke the rules of what radio trends were indicating/ dictating at the time. Instead of speeding it up, Queen B decided to slow things down... and resurrected R&B at radio in the process. [OK, thats a BIT dramatic, but not TOO far off. All Hail! #BowDown] I sneezed on the beat and the beat got sicka/ Yoncé all on his mouth like licka... - all on his mouth like licka was another line that myself and my friends kept using throughout the year. I shant provide context for that. Now my mascara runnin, red lipstick smudged/ Oh he so horny, yeah he want to f***... - Of course I was gonna love her even more for this line. He popped all my buttons and he ripped my blouse/ He Monica Lewinskyd all on my gown... - The other line that first made me (and many others) LOL upon second/ third listen to the album. I remember the day it was sneak-released, this line was popping up all over Twitter, but it took HEARING IT to make me burst out laughing. OK, after all that, I think I need to listen to this song a few times. :)
