100110 (or 38 if you're into binary)

What's It Called?

What's The Story?
Equations! Cee Lo Green = ½ Gnarls Barkley. Fuck You is from his upcoming album, The Lady Killer.

Who's To Blame?
A hilarious roommate whose privates are infrequently private.

Why ♥ It?
If you replaced the title with some other two-word, two-syllable expression that was a little more wholesome, I'd believe that this track came from the 50s or 60s. The vocals are high for a male, but still deeply soulful; the female choral backing vocals give the song a big sound, and the instrumentation funks and rolls.
Also a neat consideration: the lyrics would sound trashy over punk rock or heavy metal, but sound properly cathartic in this environment. Contrary to what you may expect, this is one of the happiest tunes of 2010.
