Apologies in advance

As far as the Vengaboys are aware, there is only one word in the English language that rhymes with "Boom."


How is it you know this? You don't actually listen to their crap, right?


When it comes to musical inanity, few groups can match the stellar output of the aptly-named Vengaboys. Most of the singing is done by the two female members of the group, in case you were wondering.

While most widely known for creating the dopey song that the bald guy dances to in those Six Flags commercials, Vengaboys also routinely violate Jeremy's Big Rule #1 on a pretty routine basis.


For those unaware, Jeremy's Big Rule #1 states that "If the lyrics of your song include the name of your group, you've written a bad song."


For reasons that don't need exploring at this juncture, I was recently introduced to another one of their songs. Having remarkably low expectations, I was still disappointed. We'll go ahead and file this under If I Had To See This, So Do You.

The song is called "Boom Boom Boom Boom," and contains one word in the entirety of the lyrics that rhymes with "Boom."


Save yourself the pain...the word is "Room."


Given the tenuous grasp the lyricist has on rhyme, (The other key rhyme in the song is "Together" and "Forever") it's amazing that they couldn't come up with anything else. The second phrase in the chorus manages to rhyme "Boom" with "Boom" while inventing a phrase that makes no sense, regardless of how versed you are in double entendres.


Nobody knows what a "Double Boom" is. Again...save yourself by not listening to this trash. In fact...it's downright irresponsible of Jeremy to be posting it here. It can be considered harmful if viewed.
