There's a song on that getting tons of air time on Magik 98.1 FM in Samoa. It's by a rapper called 50 cent and I think the song is called "21 Questions".
Anyway there's a lyric in the song that goes something like this:
You know I love you like a fat kid love (sic) cake
Once you get over the basic problem of subject-verb agreement, you have this incredibly odd simile. Certainly, there is no finer love than that between an obese adolescent and his baked goods, but come on, this can't be serious. Are you with me on this ladies?
Call me old fashioned, but can you imagine Sinatra crooning about portly children and cake?
How much do I love you?
I’ll tell you no lie
How deep is the ocean?
How high is the sky?
How many times a day do I think of you?
How many roses are sprinkled with dew?
How far would I travel
To be where you are?
How far is the journey
from here to a star?
How much do I love you?
How much does a fat kid love cake?
Hmmm, maybe it does have a certain ring to it.
