I can't get it out of my head ...

... But it's so good. Jason Mraz is a self-styled lite-rocker. But his lyrics tend to be so wordy (impressively so, and refreshingly witty) that it's rap-ish and he's the only one I know who does it well. I'm normally a classic and punk rock person, but Mraz is very entertaining and benevolent. And as I indicated, his lyrics get stuck in your head easily.

Geek in the Pink by Jason Mraz

(do do do...)

Well let the geek in the pink take a stab at it.
If you like the way I'm thinkin' baby wink at it.
I may be skinny at times but I'm phat fulla rhymes,
pass me the mic and I'm a grab at it.
Isn't it delicious crazy way that I'm kissin' this,
baby listen to this, don't wanna miss it while it's hittin'.
Sometimes you gotta fit in to get in,
but don't ever quit cause soon I'm gonna let you in, but see...

[Chorus]
I don't care what you might think about me
You'll get by without me if you want...
Well, I could be the one to take you home;
baby we could rock the night alone.
If we never get down it wouldn't be a let down.
But sugar don't forget what you already know,
that I could be the one to turn you out.
We could be the talk across the town.
Don't judge it by the color, confuse it for another.
You might regret what you let slip away.
Like the geek in the pink.

The geek in the pink (do do do...)
I'm the geek in the pink, yeah (do do do...)

Well my relationship fodder don't mean to bother nobody
But Cupid's automatic musta fired multiple shots at her
Because she fall in love too often that's what the matter
At least I'm talkin' about it keep my pattern of flattery and
She was starin' through the doorframe, and
Eyeing me down like already a bad boyfriend
Well she can get her toys outta the drawer then
Cause I ain't comin' home, I don't need that attention, see...

[Chorus]

Hey baby look at me go
From zero to hero
You better take it from a geek like me
I can save you from unoriginal dumb-dumbs
Who wouldn't care if you com...
...plete them or not

So what, I've got a short attention span, a coke in my hand.
Because I'd rather have the afternoon relaxin', understand.
My hip hop and flip-flops, well it don't stop with the light rock.
My shot to mock you kinda puts me in the tight spot.
The hype is nothing more than hoo-ha,
So I'm developing a language and I'm callin' it my own.
So take a peek into the speaker and you'll see what I mean
That on the other side the grass is greener.

[Chorus]
(do do do...)
I'm the geek in the pink yeah
i'm the gink in the pink
oh ya'll, geek is the color for fall

Also eminently worthy of praise is The Killers. "I've got soul, but I'm not a soldier"

Rock on.
