Consider, if you will, the following lyrics from the recent chart-topping Black Eyed Peas song, Boom Boom Pow:

I’m so 3008
You so 2000 and late
I got that boom, boom, boom
That future boom, boom, boom
Let me get it now

Boom boom boom, gotta get-get
Boom boom boom, gotta get-get
Boom boom boom, gotta get-get
Boom boom boom, gotta get-get

Boom boom boom, now
Boom boom boom, now
Boom boom pow
Boom boom pow

Poetry, I’m sure you’d agree. However, join with me in a flashback to June 2007, the first broadcast of a Flight Of The Conchords episode containing a song featuring the following lyrics:

See ya shaking that boom boom
Who?
See ya looking at my boom boom
What?
You want some boom boom
It’s clear it’s boom some boom boom ahh

Let me buy you a boom boom
When?
You order a fancy boom
Who?
You like boom, I like boom
Enough small boom lets boom the boom ahh

And that’s why I find that Black Eyed Peas song laughable.

Well, that’s the main reason, anyway.
