Though I pride myself on “knowing a lot about music,” I’m ashamed to admit I have no real idea what is going on in pop music at the moment. I have some clues — I saw Nickleback in a cell phone commercial the other day and I listened to “Womanizer” the other day, but both of these encounters left me wanting to move to a mountain in Nepal. The Killers apparrently have a new album coming out and Kanye seems sad…am I missing anything else?
I did wonder the other day, and I assure you I’ve never had this cross my mind before, “I wonder what Soulja Boy is up to?” The young rapper, best known for being a blight on rap music for the past commercial year, has a new album coming out (just in time for the holidays!) and has released a new single, titled “Bird Walk.”
(Which piece of clothing is better – the “Bird Walk” obnoxious text t-shirt or the “Vote” shirts only a week late?)
Since the song never actually explains what a “bird walk” is, I’m going to ignore the Urban Dictionary definiton (“A G ass walk dat only da pimps can do”) and instead assume this somehow relates to actual birds. So, how about some birds “walking it out” to Unk!
Some birds don’t need bangin’ Southern rap joints to move their feet. Some just need a computer.
The dude who put this video up took a stroll with some cranes. Now that is a bird walk.
Not walkey enough for you? Maybe this Patagonian penguins can win you over.
No post devoted to birds walking would be complete without the godfather of walking, winged creatures: Big Bird. Tragically, I couldn’t find any videos of Big Bird set to “Walk It Out” or “Crank That.” You’ll have to settle for him playing tennis with Tony Danza.
