I am not sure why so many people hated Lou Bega. His song never hurt anyone. And it had that sound. It wasn’t an instrument I don’t think. You know, the thing that starts out the song? I don’t even know how to spell the sound. Dowk? “Dowk, dowk, dowk da dowk dowk.” That’s sort of it. I guess it was a synthesizer but who can say for sure. But if I could get myself something that made that noise I would be dowking all over the place.
And beyond that awesome sound, Lou gave us the opportunity to think about the random girl names that he blurted out. And since I am fascinated by the things that Google suggests, I think it would be nice to give you a little quiz after the video. Listen to the song, say “dowk” a few times (or find some smarter way to spell it) then guess who each of the ladies are. And remember, Google suggested them. If I had my way I would NOT have picked some of those people.
Oh, and since this was 1999, I think the douchey hat craze can be traced directly back to Lou Bega. Hmmm. Maybe that is why people hate him. It’s why I hate him now. Bastard.
And now the ladies!
A little bit of Monica in my life
A little bit of Erica by my side.
A little bit of Rita’s all I need
A little bit of Tina’s what I see
A little bit of Sandra in the sun
A little bit of Mary all night long
A little bit of Jessica here I am
A little bit of you makes me your man!
That last line makes no sense at all. None. But I bet you can’t guess all those people. And no, I don’t know why I chose all different size pictures. I am an artist I guess.

Okay, first let me say that I thought the guy’s name was Lou Vega. But I suppose that’s because I already knew who Suzanne Vega was.
– Monica Lewinsky
– Jennifer Lawrence’s younger, baby-faced sister??
– That is not Rita Hayworth.
– TINA TURNER!
– No clue.
– Mary Todd Lincoln?
– Jessica Alba
You got four right
I can’t comment using G+ or WordPress. Booooo.
Why not?
I don’t know. It acts like it accepts the comment, but it never shows up….
Sandra Day O’Connor
Jessica Biel
I know the other ones now. You didn’t host the pictures so you could change the filenames.
I was making it easy for people!
You’re not the boss of me.

I did not see Eva Halloween. It disappoints me that Lou didn’t have the foresight to put at least one Eva in there. So I’m disappointed and hungry both now.
1. Monica Lewinsky
2. Erika Christensen (u spelled it wrong)
3. Rita Ora
4. Tina Turner
5. Sandra Day O’Connor (Supreme Court Justice) (Sandra Bullock would’ve been better or even Sandra Bernhard)
6. Mary Todd Lincoln (First Lady)
7. Jessica Biel
Some of your picks leave a great deal to be desired in regards to the song, but nice trivia quest. (Monica Potter would’ve been better in #1 also; and what about Tina Marie for a stumper ?)
