Man, it really seems like everyone has had a pretty crappy summer, doesn't it? Everyone's just in a foul mood. The thing about Atlanta's Cee-Lo, though, is that even when he's in a foul mood, he can make music that sounds as joyous and terrific as this most recent single from his forthcoming Lady Killer album. Enjoy! And here are five other songs from this summer that similarly express very similar feelings: A full handful of musical middle-fingers!

THIS SONG IS SO GOOD.
YES.
If Cee-Lo has trouble keeping women because he's short on cash, I guess I should just marry that hobo lady already?
Holy crap. Holy crap, I think I had an eargasm. Jesus, I want to hear that song everywhere I go for the rest of the summer.
My goodness.
I JUST FEEL BETTER ABOUT EVERYTHING!
also, this lady: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RY04wR4zjw4
YES.
After listening to it for probably the 25th time, I just realized how gutsy it is to make a definitive summer jam that will NEVER get radio play.
Seriously. Try and imagine a bleeped version.
Can't be done.
This gets my vote for "Song of the Summer." I just wish I waited until this came out to delete the idiot who was jerking me around from my gchat list, as now I want to send this to him as a buh-bye. But he doesn't deserve the happiness of this song anyway.
Holy fucking bag of awesome!
Brilliant.
"This is one for your dad, your dad, your dad!" I love Cee-Lo more than I did yesterday.
just yes.
sogoodsogoodsogood. so. good. also, typography!!
Yes! This video made me want to dance, kick shitty people, and buy typefaces.
discovering cee-lo green is probably the best thing that has happened to me this year
The letters DANCE!
"and f**k her too"==brilliant
Those words have never made me so happy!
I love this and it makes me happy!!!
!!!!!!
JUST WHAT I NEEDED!!
Seriously Dave, thanks- this saved my afternoon.
how is this only at 39K hits on youtube? it's major.
At 19:00 EDT, on a Saturday, and approx 30 hours after being posted online, it's at 345,000 views.
A friend on FB imagined a Janelle Monae/Ceelo Green collaboration. I would perhaps explode from the wonderful musical goodness of that.
Janelle and Cee-lo together might cause thousands of such explosions and may need to be avoided due to the public health ramifications.
Ah, shit, they should risk it.
Tis a thing of funky beauty.
Also...THIS!

What are you guys all butt hurt about this Summer? Unless you got Salmonella like me?
According to Quantcast, the demos are looking good in all the right categories (though way to white in here) for web success.
The trajectory is up in almost all categories, got good metrics (at least compared with May beginning)...
You even have a lab research department that apparently is operating at full strength.
are you sure it's salmonella? cuz those symptoms could also indicate anthrax.
The Cee-Lo song is great, but Wocka Flocka Flame? That guy's a fucking joke.
Pardon me, it's "Woka." Ugh.
Makes me actually feel like buying a CD again. And Freddie Gibbs, too. That cat can do some beats!
HOLY SHIT.
do ya'll all have tiny little dicks? this sounds like a man who is an abusive asshole. catchy tune sure, but still deeply insecure.
Using your real name? Well fuck me, you must be a hoot to hang out with.
Oh, dear? Did this get cross-posted to Jezebel for some inexplicable reason?
this begs the question...
It's the invasion of Facebookers. God help us.
If you're lucky enough to spend your summers in Houston projects, it can be a bit more hardcore (don't say I didn't warn ya):

Love this song...but all I can think about is his spoiled brat of a daughter that was on My Super Sweet 16. She was hideous.
boring
Man, I can't get enough of this song. "gggrhhh I really hate your ass right now"
