I've got Pavarottis following me, too!

This sample from K-Fed's upcoming album is so. Fucking. Funny. (transcription of the lyrics)

As is this:

Update: According to the Hollertronix boards, K-Fed actually is saying "Pavarotti": "I've been informed that's just K-Fed slang for papparazzi, he calls them Pavarottis in real life. that's his style..."

What I love most about this is imagining the first time K-Fed said "pavarotti" instead of "papparazzi". I'll bet his friends/entourage/hangers-on were like, "um, WTF's he mean?" And then they'd be all quietly embarrassed for him, but not want to say anything that might make him upset. So they didn't say anything, and then just kind of got stuck being quiet, and voting their implicit agreement on his "slang."

That's my version of the story, at least.

But anyway, the only bad thing about the sample is that it's so short (52 seconds), so I keep playing it over & over, and now it's basically the only thing listed under "Recent tracks" in my last.fm profile.

And that's a little embarrassing.

I first heard the Pavarotti/paparazzi confusion the week following the death of Princess Diana. I ought to blog the anecdote — it's a classic London cabbie (taxi driver) tale!
