This could do for the word "rude" what Alanis did for "ironic" 20 years ago. But while irony as a concept might not get introduced until 10th grade lit class, most people learn what being rude is when they're quite young and why does this guy not seem to understand it?

"Rude" was originally based on a real-life situation. The lead singer of Magic!, Nasri, had been in an unhealthy relationship with a previous girlfriend. One day, after his girlfriend was mad at him and started to become harsh, Nasri began singing the lines "Why you gotta be so rude/ don't you know I'm human too" in what he describes a "dark vibe." However, the concept did not work with the band well so it was revised and eventually made into a man talking to the disapproving father of his lover.[1]
Genre: reggae fusion

I hope this means the girlfriend was still there, becoming harsh.

"Rude" is now the number one song in America. Good grief.

Good company here:
No 'reg'-ular No. 1: "Rude" (the 1,037th Hot 100 No. 1 all-time) brings reggae stylings back to the chart's summit, marking a rarity. Other reggae rulers in the Hot 100's nearly 56-year history: Sean Paul's "Get Busy" (2003); Shaggy's "It Wasn't Me" and "Angel" (both in 2001); Ini Kamoze's "Here Comes the Hotstepper" (1994); fellow Canadian Snow's "Informer" (1993); Maxi Priest's "Close to You" (1990); Eric Clapton's "I Shot the Sheriff," written by reggae king Bob Marley (1974); and Johnny Nash's "I Can See Clearly Now" (1972). (Reader, and Canada's own, Blair Buchta, recently pointed out in an email that "Israelites" by Desmond Dekker & the Aces was one of the first reggae hits to reach the top 10, rising to No. 9 in 1969.)

The guitar solo in "Rude" has some pretty cool texture for a top 40 song in 2014.

Important info, listen up
"Magic" becomes the first word to serve as the title of a No. 1 Hot 100 song and an act with a Hot 100 leader (excluding the exclamation point at the end of the band's name …)

it's like the guitarist spent hours in the studio trying to achieve a tone that could rival the band's frontman's voice for sheer obnoxiousness
... although honestly, it's the groovelessness that grates, far more than the tone
― bernard snowy, Wednesday, 16 July 2014 20:08 (nine years ago) link
the only single good thing about that solo is the singer isn't singing but that's only good in a twilight zone world where you're forced to listen to the song and not able to shut it off.

hahaha....it's a bizarre solo, for sure.
i just can't figure out why i don't hate everything about this. even the solo i find a bit endearing.
the worst part of the whole package is *watching* the singer guy. as long as i don't closely watch the video, i'm ok.

I don't even hate "rude" and find the "this is so unquestionably creepy!" angle really, really overstated -- it went No. 1, because a lot of listeners probably find it charming
― katherine, Wednesday, 16 July 2014 22:35 (nine years ago) link
(i.e. it's aimed at the crowd who hears "can I have your daughter for the rest of my life" and thinks "what a romantic proposal, and asking her father's permission, like an old-fashioned gentleman," not "WOW POSSESSIVE #RUDE")
That creeps me out more! Like it's a deadening reminder that a huge part of the population totally digs all those like #BeARealMan #RomanticMenDoThis #It'sRomanticToBeOwnedByYourMan type hashtag advice blogs etc.

Surely this tweet is meant to be taken as pretty 'light' commentary on an underwritten popular song? It's like tweeting "Yes, but has anyone given any thought to who'll bring the dogs back IN?" I mean, it definitely points up the icky aspect of the song, but it's not framing it as "a horrifying, unforgivable affront on females everywhere."
