Napoleon - I Love My Baby (But If Anyone Touches Her I'll Kill Them)


When I first heard Napoleon's new single “I Love My Baby (But If Anyone Touches Her I'll Kill Them)” I chuckled at the parenthesized portion of the title and I couldn't help getting hooked by their feelgood blue-eyed soul.

Soon after, I discovered two things that ruined the song for me. The tune of “I Love My Baby” is identical to the tune of The Four Tops' 1981 single “Don't Walk Away” but it's not a cover and it doesn't count as an homage if no credit is given, either in written form or in the song itself. Then I watched the music video, which features a douchey-looking young man who manages to look more pretentious than silly while puffing his cheeks and singing. Now I can't listen to the song without a mental image of his mental performance.

I still enjoy this song and would recommend it, just don't watch the video, although I know most who read this will watch it anyway.
