Emancipate yourself



This week's earworm: Kelis singing "Emancipate," a performance I saw a few years ago at the 9:30 Club in D.C. (Really, don't ask what I was doing there at my age. It was a highly unsuccessful concert-going experience for all involved.) It has a pretty snaky synth line, kinda hard to forget. And the spirit of the lyrics ain't too shabby either.

Ah, the lyrics. "Emancipate yourself emancipate yourself emancipate yourself emancipate yourself emancipate yourself emancipate yourself emancipate yourself emancipate yourself . . ."
Look in your own mirror and know who you are . . .
We're are human and fall short nothing's over yet . . .
Life's too short to waste your time do what you love . . .
What are you trying to tell me, Kelis?
