I'll go out on a limb and guess you're under 28 and can't remember the days when it actually took talent to make a song that gained national attention, as opposed to nowadays when anyone with a drum machine and 2 bong hits can post garbage online for national consumption.  

This song is so bad I'd rather be handcuffed to a toilet stall next to Charlie Weiss and listen to his sphincter pay homage to the 5 buckets of diablo chilli con carne he'd earlier capped with a gallon of lactose enhanced whole milk than have to listen to it.  It's so bad I'd rather jam my head up Charlie Weiss's ass than ever have to listen to it again.

So yeah.  It's objectively bad.

So that one scene with the green grass?  You can't imagine what it takes to keep grass green in the summer here in Tucson.  Answer: a whole lot of water.

Go a mile or so outside of town and this is what you see:

But that said, Tucson is one of those cities with a dual water supply -- water for drinking, and reclaimed water for irrigation.  So where there is grass (campus, parks) the water is from the reclaimed source.

That has nothing to do with hot gymnasts doing "The Whip" ... but there ya go.

Not even embarrassed. Good for Rich. Seems like has a good thing going for himself down there though if he stuck with WVA, who knows what he could have done.

That's awesome. So glad he seems to be having fun. I hope he makes Arizona the best team in the conference. It'd be awesome to see him win a Rose Bowl or something.

under RR we won more games in each of three years. As low as the bar was it still existed. Under BH we went into a tailspin, no matter how lucky he was his first season with a well coached offensive lines and one of the most productive offensive players of the past decade, we lost more games each season. That is a downward trajectory and something most people grasp when they learn our number system. 

I am actually happy RR has a place he likes and that likes him. Was he a good fit here? Oh Hell no. Was BH, on Hell no with more emphasis. We did allow him though for however brief it might be should he luck into another job, to raise his lifetime winning pct. to over .500. It should take him two years at his next stop to fall under that again.

                     Just feels like it was missing something.  Like it was a little too low.  If only there was a song that could raise the whole thing up.

I love that any time a popular song is mentioned, half the population feels the need to deride "how terrible" it is.

Please go back to your carefully manicured lawn.

...and people in every generation that like the crap. There are also morons that still want to talk about Rich Rod on this board (this number appate toy really high). Brady Hoke's tailspin does not lessen the disaster that was Rich Rod. Rich Rod is never going to win the PAC 12, Rich Rod is never going to play in a Rose Bowl. I thought for certain once Harbaugh was hired I would never hear Rich Rod's name on here again...clearly that was wishful thinking.

What one person thinks "is inherently bad," another person thinks is awesome.

I'm not saying I love this song, but I just find music snobs to be insufferable.  Usually, they are deriding some pop song that is the current flavor of the month - songs which are not exactly intended to be Mozart.

Ah yes, they didn't mean for the song to be anything above garbage so it shouldn't get criticized. Look, a song can be popular and good. Or popular and okay. There's plenty of recent hits I have on my playlists (well, okay, some), but that doesn't make all popular songs good, and doesn't mean that calling out a personal opinion of bad music on the Internet is such an issue. Agree with me or I will loop Donna Lewis "I Love you always forever" until your ears bleed.

I had never heard of A Whip before seeing this. Granted I am middle aged and work all of the time and have no exposure whatsoever to common cultural trends. All I can say is that it seems like any idiot with a drum machine, a voice synthesizer, and a gimmick can become a one-hit wonder. When did it become popular to pay attention to "artists" without talent?

I clicked on this just to leave the comment that Rich Rod ain't whipping a 4 letter word related to poop

but that was a bit cringeworthy. Arizona's done quite a few since Richrod has been there (which is alos the same time since Michigan fans became aware of anything at all happening with Arizona's football program)
