MP3: Heems (of Das Racist) - "Womyn aka Hitch demo"


Heems - "Womyn aka Hitch demo"
Alright, I'll admit up front. I never really gave Das Racist the time of day after "Combination Pizza Hut And Taco Bell". It was funny, for sure, but a one time listen--other than when I just now listened again because it's been a year since I heard it originally, and I'll admit, this time it works for me. "Womyn" is a little different. It's still funny, but even better, it's hilarious. The first time my ears heard "LAYDEESSS!" I realized I actually hear this shit in real life, every day, from real people. Bro-dudes literally say that. But there's more to this song than humor. This is an accurate account of a male's attitude on women. Our viewpoint on them can be simple, naive, stereotypical, religious, wishful, and condemning. Usually it's a combination of most of those. To back up all the jokes and meanings-within-jokes, is a charming vocal melody which is the spine of the entire song, and helps lift it up out of male wonderings. Best line:

"Yo women, they like to take showers, and when they let you take it with them, it's really awesome."

Yes it is, friend. Yes it is.
