Tom: T-Pain: master of autotune whose best work is probably with the Lonely Island singing I’m On A Boat; and Chris Brown, noted domestic abuser?
Brace yourself, Tim. This isn’t going to be fun.

Tom: I don’t know what’s more laughable about this.
Tim: Ooh, well let’s list things and see what comes out on top.
Tom: The parts where they just trade ‘ehh’ sounds back at each other for eight bars?
Tim: The fact that it starts with two rounds of ‘nappyboy’?
Tom: The ‘cowabunga’?
Tim: The autotune that’s so thick it’s possible they’re just saying stuff monotonously and letting the computer do all the work?
Tom: The key change, after which they trade ‘ehh’ sounds again before a bizarre guitar breakdown and drum solo finishes the whole thing off?
Tim: Oh, good lord – yeah, actually, that wins.
Tom: I just… I’m not sure I have words for this one.
Tim: In that case I propose just one: tripe. Although part of me is tempted to suggest a variant of Poe’s Law.
