Milk Shake

I heard a song called Milk Shake by Kelis.
She sings, :sing: "My Milk Shake brings all the boys to the yard.":sing: Now, dear readers, don't think I am all "up" on the latest music or anything. I haven't listened to a Top Forty radio station in ten years and probably wouldn't recognize a top forty singer if I heard them. I'm not that cool. In fact, my musical tastes has become rather bizarre of late, preferring J-Pop and Anime themes to just about anything else. I still have my favorites, ranging from Sarah Brightman, Tears for Fears, Queen, the Beatles, David Arkenstone, Vollenweider, Enya, John Legend, Seal, Bach, Debussy, and Enigma.

But, I mentioned Milk Shake because of an over-heard conversation between Hubby and his sister's husband, CJ. Their conversation prompted me to look up the song on the Internet and give it a listen.

Hubby: You heard Milk Shake?
CJ: Yeah, why?
Hubby: I just wondered what it means.
CJ: Tits
Hubby: No way!
CJ: Yeah, really. A chick shaking her stuff and making a milk shake.
Hubby: I thought it was about the way a woman carries herself.
CJ: No. It's about boobs.
Hubby: I think there's deeper meaning in that song.
CJ: No. Just hooters.
Hubby: #1 gets pissed when I call 'em hooters.
CJ: Yeah, so does my wife. Around the kids I gotta call 'em breasts.
Hubby: That's probably best.
CJ: But, Milk shake is about tits.
Hubby: I think there's some deeper meaning in it.

This sounds like a comedy routine between two white guys... and CJ isn't white. But, I think he has been out of the 'hood too long and hanging with too many white people. He's even lost his cool black guy walk. I guess we'll have to find another cool black guy to be in our family.
