Cameo's "Word Up": I just realized it doesn't make sense. The dude asks "What's the word?" And the answer is "Word up." That doesn't sound odd to you? I mean, "word up" is an affirmation.
Yeah, you certainly don't answer a question like "What's the word?" with it. That's like saying, "How's it going?" and the other guy responding, "Thank you."
Well, doesn't "Word up" start the song, and they just repeat the two lines in a cycle of funked-out resplendence?
Even if that is the case, Cameo still leaves unanswered questions. It's not a very cathartic chorus anyway.
I've also always thought Ray Parker, Jr's "Ghostbusters" would have been a cooler song if it was completely unrelated to a movie. Why can't a guy just have something weird in his neighborhood?
