Gwen Stefani Featuring Akon - The Sweet Escape
So once again I asked my oldest daughter, my wife, heck the guy at the gym with an Ipod fill of pop and urban hits…girl singing slow beat about girlfriend something and then the chorus is this guy or guys singing woohoo weehoo over and over
They stare at me and say “I have no idea what you are talking about”. Of course, when I find the song and play it for them, they go “OHHH”. Idiots I am surrounded by sometimes.
So if you can’t figure it out either, here it is
In their defense, the song has only been on the Billboard top 100 for the past 22 weeks and made it to number 1. And it is currently number 7. You know, a song no one knows.
And the lyrics
Featuring Akon
Whohoe, whihoo
Whohoe, whihoo
Whohoe, whihoo
Whohoe, whihoo
If I could escape
I would, but first of all let me say
I must apologize for acting, stinking, treating you this way
Cause I’ve been acting like sour milk fell on the floor
It’s your fault you didn’t shut the refridgerator
Maybe that’s the reason I’ve been acting so cold
If I could escape
And re-create a place as my own world
And I could be your favorite girl
Forever, perfectly together
Tell me boy, now wouldn’t that be sweet?
If I could be sweet
I know I’ve been a real bad girl
I didn’t mean for you to get hurt
Forever, we can make it better
Tell me boy, Now wouldn’t that be sweet?
Sweet escape
(I wanna get away, to our sweet escape)
You let me down
I’m at my lowest boiling point
Come help me out
I need to get me out of this joint
Come on, let’s bounce
Counting on you to turn me around
Instead of clowning around let’s look for some common ground
So baby, times getting a little crazy
I’ve been getting a little lazy
Waiting for you to come save me
I can see that you’re angry
By the way the you treat me
Hopefully you don’t leave me
Want to take you with me
If I could escape
And re-create a place as my own world
And I could be your favorite girl
Forever, perfectly together
Tell me boy, now wouldn’t that be sweet?
If I could be sweet
I know I’ve been a real bad girl
I didn’t mean for you to get hurt
Forever, we can make it better
Tell me boy, now wouldn’t that be sweet?
Sweet escape
Whohoe, whihoo
Whohoe, whihoo
Whohoe, whihoo
Whohoe, whihoo
If I could escape
Cause I’ve been acting like sour milk fell on the floor
It’s your fault you didn’t shut the refridgerator
Maybe that’s the reason I’ve been acting so cold
If I could escape
And re-create a place in my own world
And I could be your favorite girl
Forever, perfectly together
Tell me boy, now wouldn’t that be sweet?
If I could be sweet
I know I’ve been a real bad girl
I didn’t mean for you to get hurt
Forever, we can make it better
Tell me boy, now wouldn’t that be sweet?
Sweet escape

This sounds just like you. I can only imagine you singing the chorus. I want to give you a call but Susana has the cell and we can not afford another one right now. When I get home (6pm) I have to cook feed the chillens then watch as they act like monkeys the we put them to bed at (8:30). I am so stressed that by this time I am done. I will make it a point to ring you and bullsh@t. I have been keeping tabs via the website though. Catcha on the flip flop hip hop.
