How’s everyone doing? It’s been a while since a great song caught my fancy but when I heard it, I just had to let the world you guys know. The
song is titled “Rude” and the single was first released in October 2013 by a
Canadian reggae fusion band called Magic!.
Nasri Atweh, the lead singer, wrote the song based on a real-life relationship he had with an ex-girlfriend. However,
the band gave the song concept a slight twist and the outcome is a song about a
guy asking his girlfriend’s father for his daughter’s hand in marriage, but the
father slammed the door in his face, prompting the guy to ask “Why you gotta be
so rude?”.
What you MUST check out next is the hilarious response to this song by Benji Cowart, a dad from New York. When Cowart heard the song, he rewrote the lyrics and posted his own music video on YouTube.
“You say you want my
daughter for the rest of your life ... well you gotta make more than burgers
and fries ... get out your momma's basement boy and get you a life ... son you're twenty-eight ... don't you think it's time,” Cowart sings in the video, which
has now been viewed over fourteen million times.
“Why you gotta call me rude ... for doing what a dad should do ... and keep her from a fool like you ... and if you marry her anyway ... marry that girl ... I'm gonna punch your face ... marry that girl ... I'll make you go away ... marry that girl,” sings Cowart, the father of a girl and two boys.
Cowart, who was joined by his wife, Jenna, in the video, told
ABC News that there was one specific line in the catchy song that inspired him
to re-write the hit.
"I caught the line "I'm gonna marry her anyway" and
the dad in me reared up ... so I had to write a response for all the dads with
daughters out there,” Cowart told ABC News by email.
Cowart said he has been impressed by the “great sports” the four members of Magic! have been about the
parody. “It’s all been in good fun,” Cowart said.
Magic! themselves retweeted a link to Cowart’s YouTube parody
and sent out a tweet expressing gratitude for all the covers of “Rude.”
Lotsa Luv
