Candy W(Rappers).... ???

I have to say first and foremost, I am so SAD Steve Jobs died. I am both a lover of Apple computers and Pixar so I feel the world has lost a huge force in the fields of technology and creativity. I bought my first Mac, named Machiavelli, right as I entered college in 2006. The thing is a beast! Five years later and it still runs like the day I pulled it out of the box. Eventually one day I will have to replace it because I can no longer update the software. It's sadly far away from me in the great state of Missouri on loan to the youngest Burge, as she soon will finish her first semester of college. I immediately knew that I would never own another PC. Now Zack and I argue on this but he can live with his stinkin' Dell. Apple is 100 times better!

I actually do remember watching Toy Story in theaters. I think I was only 7 at the time but I remember it being super awesome! Who doesn't imagine their toys actually having lives of their own? I used to pretend to fall asleep at night and tell my toys I was doing it so I could catch them in the act. The only Pixar movie I have not seen in theaters was Monsters, Inc. When the movie comes out each summer, I put it at the TOP of my priority list of must-see summer blockbusters. I wish I could pick a favorite Pixar movie but I really can't. It's like trying to tell which part of a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup is better: Peanut Butter or Chocolate? I would have to argue that's its one of those questions like "How many licks does it take to get the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop?" You will never know the answer because it's different every time.

I could go on talking about how Steve Jobs changed my life but CNN does it so well. But while I was reading his obituary in the entertainment section, I came across this fascinating article on one of their entertainment blogs. The title reads... "Method Man raps about Sour Patch Kids." Yep... I had the same reaction.

It is, naturally, for an upcoming promotion but Method Man, who is part of the Wu-Tang Clan (a rap group), actually came out with a legit song AND a music video. The song is 3:28 and yes, the Sour Patch Kids candies do actually appear in the music video along with the whole Wu-Tang Clan and a dancing video girl.

I was so curious I watched the music video and was surprised, the song isn't too bad. I wouldn't go download it or anything but for a song about candy... it's better that what I expected. Some of the lyrics are pretty catchy. My favorite line is "They'll throw bleach in your laundry and then fold your origami."

I also enjoy eating Sour Patch Kids so now that the song worked and I want to go out and buy some, I'll do what the song says and "Shut up and eat 'em up."
