Contact is all that it takes
To change your life, to lose your place in time
Contact. Asleep or awake
Coming around you may wake up to find

(Ooo-ooo-ooo)
Questions deep within your eyes
(Ooo-ooo-ooo)
Now more than ever, you realize
(Ooo-ooo)

And then you sense a change
Nothin' feels the same
All your dreams are strange
Love comes walkin' in
Some kind of alien
Waits for the opening
Simply pulls a string

Another world, some other time
You lay your sanity on the line
Familiar faces, familiar sights
Reach back, remember with all your might

(Ooo-ooo-ooo)
Ooh, and there she stands in a silken gown
(Ooo-ooo-ooo)
Silver lights shinin' down
(Ooo-ooo)

And then you sense a change
Nothin' feels the same
All your dreams are strange
Love comes walkin' in
Some kind of alien
Waits for the opening
Simply pulls a string
Love comes walkin' in

(Guitar Solo)

Oh, sleep and dream; that's all I crave
I travel far across the milky way
To my master I become a slave
'Til we meet again some other day

(Ooo-ooo-ooo)
Where silence speaks as loud as war
(Ooo-ooo-ooo)
Earth returns to what it was before
(Ooo-ooo)

And then you sense a change
Nothin' feels the same
All your dreams are strange
Love comes walkin' in
Some kind of alien
Waits for the opening
Simply pulls a string
Love comes walkin' in

(Guitar Solo)

Love comes walkin' in
Baby, pull the string
Love comes walkin' in
Love comes walkin' in, yeah!
Huh-uh! Ye-ah, oh-oh oh

Welcome to 2008...
Where Jonas Brothers roam and any guy who plays an open guitar chord would get a girlfriend.

One thing i've always had in my mind for nearly a decade.
If I could either destroy all traces of modern rap, or have Alizée as a wife, which would I choose.

I chose a long time ago that i'd rather wipe out all traces of modern rap...

but if you listen to the lyrics this song is the repudiation of commercialized rap

the song is about love w/o the overt superficiality and commodification so prevalent in modern rap - the repudiation of conspicious consumption as a means of expressing one's identity

hence the songs title "The Way I Are"
and it's also fun to dance too
i think Timbaland has taken rap and hip hop in a new and better direction
his music is innovative and goes against the current of Soulja Boy crap

well anyway enough preaching
if you like classic rap/hip hop then here's a classic from 1992
64,000 dollar question of the night - who directed this video?

I respect Timbaland as a DJ
And quite frankly "The Way I Are" is quite, "Daft Punk-ish"
Which is why I thoroughly do not hate it as much as Soulja Boy (I would lose my leg if he would lose his).

But still, the taint of the modern rap genre is a thin string for me, as for your video pasted above...

I cannot say I necessarily like it, nor hate it, but it is way more classic and original than what rappers produce today..
