In case of a home intruder, Antoine Dodson would advise “ya’ll need to hide your kids.” In case of an ear space invasion by Cee Lo’s newest, not-so-kid-friendly-lyrics, I would advise the same.

With an oversized belly and bald head, Cee Lo Green’s freakishly abstract flair and distinct creativity, for years, has intrigued music lovers. And the recent, risqué release from Mr. Green’s forthcoming “Lady Killer”  album upholds the “Crazy” artist’s legacy of uniqueness.  Amping the shock value this go ’round? Two simple words.  “F**K You.”

Overflowing with obscenities and guaranteed to outrage conservatives with its vulgar language, you gotta admit, you LOVE it. Ohhhhh, and you love it so much that, even after you “Liked” Cee Lo’s Facebook fan page just to be able to view the video, you remained a fan of the page so you could watch it over and over again.

“F**K You” is for that guy who felt pressured to accommodate the extravagant, unnecessary spending habits of a high maintenance girlfriend and subsequently depleted his bank account.  It’s for the guy who wanted so badly to hook up with the Halle look-a-like until realizing her Fogo de Chao tastes were too expensive for his Fatburger budget. For any person who has loved and lost.  Let’s say it together. “F**K You” is the new anthem!

So accustomed we have become to singing somber break-up tunes, but with this latest hit, Cee Lo personifies the disgust we feel when love fails us. His choice of an upbeat, doo-wop inspired track paired with shocking lyrics will become the most fun you have swearing all year.

Two of the world’s oldest pastimes - bashing a former love interest and cursing - made more pleasurable by a soul-filled jingle.

Good work, Mr. Cee Lo. Good work.
