No. 10: Lloyd Only Has Eyes For You (And That Lady Over There)

But if you don’t quite believe his claims of fidelity, that’s probably a smart move.

Lloyd’s “You” was cad-pop taken to a new level, a song where he paid tribute to the woman he was looking to bed while also letting her know that there were other ladies–in his line of sight, even!–who were also tickling his fancy. It’s a sweeping song that sounds like it’s more tailor-made for a rainy day of post-one-night-stand rutting than said possibly regrettable hookup, warping the chorus of Spandau Ballet’s “True” just enough to make that song’s pledges of fidelity turn into an oily devotional to Ms. Right Now (and Ms. Maybe Later If I’m Still Feeling Frisky). But while Lil Wayne’s charged with letting anyone else listening in know the real reasons for Lloyd’s interest–dropping sex-on-Mars verses and what may be the best way to thank someone for giving head ever, “You give good brain like you graduated from a good school”–the shimmering strings and Lloyd’s insistence that he “just wants to chill” could probably, nine times out of 10, work at charming the thongs off our hero’s intended targets.

Note: Wikipedia is claiming that Lloyd was a contestant on Double Dare 2000 back in the day, but I won’t believe it until I see the YouTube. Anyone?
