Listen up, Nasri Atweh. Dad is here to explain exactly why he’s gotta be so rude, and he’s not afraid to tell it how it is.
Musician Benji Cowart has been blowing up the Internet this week for his take on MAGIC!’s “Rude” video, tossing out zingers like “You say you want my daughter for the rest of your life / Well you gotta make more than burgers and fries” and remarking that it’s time for this 28 year-old-boy to move out of this mother’s basement. After all, he’s just trying to “do what a dad should do” and “keep her away from a fool like you.”
Just keep in mind, Dad’s not afraid of doing hard time to protect his baby girl. If you do go through with marrying her anyway, make sure you’re far, far away from any lakes.
Cowart isn’t the first person to speak out against Magic!’s assertion that he’s going to “marry that girl anyway.” Comedienne Lena Dunham and indie rocker Ingrid Michaelson have tweeted concern for the woman being subjected to this hand-in-marriage request. How does she feel about it?
@lenadunham He's gonna marry her anyway.
