On a slow news day, the BBC "reports" some rules about a summer hit tune. In summary:

  1. It has to be simple.
  2. It should make you feel like you're on holiday.
  3. Novelty is everything.
  4. Radio-friendly songs make bigger hits.
  5. It should be released before the summer.
  6. But it should have the word "summer" in the title.

If simplicity and novelty are the most important then this summer's hit could be Beep! Beep! I'm A Sheep!

    You mean like this?

    Fuck the world that curses my birthday
    Sunday night studio I'm letting the words play
    Drop the track on Monday might not see me by Thursday
    Cause this the type of facts that wanna wrap up the worst way

    Shout out to my G's in prison not snitching
    What got me flipping a few wrongly convicted
    That's the system I hope you take heed and you listen
    Ain't no longer black and white naw this time is diffrent
    It's about rich and poor the rich is getting richer
    We gotta pass the YOLO stage and see the bigger picture
    For centuries we getting raped by the politicians
    And let materialism destroy the fucking mission

    Yeah my vision's clear yeah it's crystal clear
    When they killed my nigga Chris society didn't care
    War on terror they're all me over there
    But the hungry's terror we got problems right here

    Fuck the world that curses my birthday
    Sunday night studio I'm letting the words play
    Drop the track on Monday might not see me by Thursday
    Cause this the type of facts that wanna wrap up the worst way

    I bet this shit don't get no radio air play
    I bet this shit don't get no radio air play
    I bet this track don't get no radio air play
    But fuck it I'm good long I say what I gotta say

    America is really full of fucking problems
    Probably get a gun before you could get a job
    In the fast pace world son they keep us jogging
    The lawyers to the prisons make the profits where we robbing
    Homeless veterans roam the street fuck happens
    Or is it me am I tripping am I whiling
    Does it seem they recruit confuse them
    Throw them in the wars for profit use them

    Yeah my vision's clear yeah it's crystal clear
    We can't afford no college Obama doesn't care
    Three hundred Bens to be who you wanna be
    Cause a bachelors degree is just a GED

    Fuck the world that curses my birthday
    Sunday night studio I'm letting the words play
    Drop the track on Monday might not see me by Thursday
    Cause this the type of facts that wanna wrap up the worst way

    I bet this shit don't get no radio air play
    I bet this shit don't get no radio air play
    I bet this track don't get no radio air play
    But fuck it I'm good long I say what I gotta say
