What exactly is a “Holler Back Girl”? Should I be concerned that I am one? Is Gwen Stefani intentionally trying to make me hate her? …just a few questions I’m pondering this morning.
I’ve always been a fan of No Doubt, especially their matriarch; I supported Gwen’s decision to lose the pink hair, I completely understood why marrying Gavin Rosdale required two weddings, I didn’t bitch when she decided she was a fashion designer (and charged mucho bucks for her black/white/red scribbling), AND I barely made fun of the acronym LAMB. BUT her last two singles are unforgivable…someone call Gwen’s pharmacist and get her off the hallucinogenics.
Let’s give her the benefit of the doubt, and say “Rich Girl” was bold and original. I mean who would have thought a musical score about a poor Jewish milkman, plus Eve would equal a huge hit that would be played relentlessly on the radio? Gwen, that’s who.
Following her “Rich Girl” success, she decided to see how far she could push her listeners with, “Holler Back Girl.” Regardless of whether I know what this Ebonics-based term means, I still despise this song. It makes me feel like I’m going crazy.
So all I have to say is (in her words) Gwennie has officially gone “bananas, ba-na-nas.”

I'm still amazed she had the balls to sing a chorus of "If I were a rich girl". Because most people that are from O.C live below the poverty line, right? Or does my irony detector need re-calibrating?
Thx for the blog link btw, I'm flattered.
