The men who were boys once are now, firmly entrenched as men. Men II Men is not as formidable of a concept as the prospect of Boys II Men. They are men: are we not men? Why are they no longer held as top RnB currency in a world of American Idols who may or may not be able to sing as well as 4 men who are men. They are not eligible.
They are poison, much like that girl. The name of this song is apparently "under pressure". I don't think it is a David Bowie cover, but it is perhaps an interesting coincidence that both DB in his hit "Major Tom" and BIIM in their not quite hit, both utilize a countdown. Which, as you may know, is something of a fascination for me at the moment. The act of counting down, in song, is one which carries with it the same narrative punch as counting down with a clock (say, at a rocket launch), but without the constraints of time to get in the way of a funky beat. Because a countdown that rejects seconds as a unit is a countdown that I can get behind.
Enjoy this countdown, it is on me. The rest of the song, meh.
