I listened to the following song 16 straight times today:



It turns out that for the first six or seven listens, the enjoyment gained from listening to Just a Friend trends upward. Around the seventh or eight listen, however, the enjoyment begins to lessen, as familiarity and boredom set in. Nevertheless, for that perseverent listener who does not allow boredom to dissuade him or her, the song really begins to shine around the thirteenth or fourteenth listen, as the true transcendent genius of Biz Markie really begins to shine through. You can see what I'm talking about in this highly scientific graph I have enclosed below (yes, that's right a video and an image in the same post: all fear my mad internetting skills):

Anyway, I do love this song, both because it has some incredibly offensive alternative lyrics that I most certainly will not be posting here, and because Biz Markie wears an ND sweatshirt in this video. And you know that I'm always going to love any rapper who is a fan of Notre Dame, especially one as street-tough and thugnasty as Biz Markie.
