My favorite part is when she turns around at the end to see that her sweatshirt had to be tied into a knot. This brings up MANY IMPORTANT questions.
Did she have to borrow her boyfriend’s sweatshirt because she didnt have any other Bama gear? This seems implausible, considering her passion for Julio Jones. (And writin rhymes.)
Is that how ladies at Alabama just wear their sweatshirts? (This would constitute a dramatic fashion shift from, say, the ladies at Florida State.)
Is that lady a rapping professor at Alabama? Or is she still a student, a la Rodney Dangerfield in “Back to School?”
This is not sweatshirt-related, but who is the “WHAT” guy? Her boyfriend? Her son? Her hype man? (Really hope he’s her real-life Hype Man and follows her in and out of lectures going, “WHAT”)
One more non-sweatshirt issue: Why do they think “Mamma named him that” is a cool, tough addition to the song? I really feel like Sweatshirt’s rap is strong enough to stand on it’s own and doesn’t need the phantom shouter. But that’s just me.
**UPDATE** My wife may have solved the Mystery of the Sweatshirt: “She tied her shirt to look thinner.” There ya go.
**UPDATE PART 2** I don’t think my wife’s theory quite solved the mystery. This girl is clearly skinny. She may not be a top-heavy “Girls of the Big 10” type, but she is definitely NOT fat. So, if she is trying to be skinnier, why not just wear the Bama tank top she most certainly already owns? Did she sleep over at the Hype Man’s house and bang out the rap on a whim the morning after? Is the “Mamma named him that” guy somehow involved? I NEED ANSWERS, DAMMIT!
