MC Hammer - Have You Seen Her

Website / Myspace / iTunes

—-

I kid you not, dear readers. Today’s piece of music that you’d better be listening to is none other than MC Hammer’s infamous love ballad.

Now why would I post this, you might be asking yourselves. Well, hell, I’m asking myself the same question. It relates back to today at the office, but I can’t remember what possessed me to turn on some Hammer. It started out with some Biz Markie, playing Just A Friend for my two office-mates… and then it came to this.

LOOOOOOOVE, OH LOVE! LOVE IS A FEELING!

Love is a feeling that the Hammer definitely needs, ahhhh yeah.

Anyway, I’m pretty tired right now. This is a nice chill song, and amazingly campy (those of you who know me know how much I love camp — given the choice, I’d rather watch 1960s Batman than most of what I can watch on TV these days). Which is in stark contrast to how I remember re-visiting this song.

By revisiting, I mean that I hadn’t heard this track in many years — the last time I probably gave it a listen was between the ages of 3 and 5 (1990 to 1992), as I was MC Hammer’s Youngest-Biggest Fan. I was the day-for-day champion of MC Hammer adoration.

And then, one day, I happened on his Greatest Hits album (I was expecting it to be an EP), and decided to put it on in my car, ironically blasting all of his old hits. So I rode around Montreal pumping Have You Seen Her all ghetto-styles out of my Mom’s Volvo.

Classy. I know.
