Is Lil Mama’s “Sausage” Video The Worst Thing To Happen To Your Eyes And Ears Since Avril Lavigne’s “Hello Kitty”?

Holy shit — Lil Mama, she of “Lip Gloss” and “Shawty Get Loose” fame, is back! And she’s got a new single called “Sausage”! Because DICK. Well, okay — because safe sex. Sure.

Eight years after she arrived with two (!?) Top 10 singles, Lil is now the Mama-ish age of 25, and she’s channeling some old-school TLC condom-on-the-eye ’90s realness with her throwback beat and PSA-like nuances in “Sausage,” the chorus of which was plucked straight from the viral breeding ground of YouTube.

Just in case you don’t get what she’s going for here aesthetically, there’s even a bizarre, overly on-point moment in the song’s music video where the rapstress is dolled up like Mary J. Blige circa 1995 (see: Waiting To Exhale cut “Not Gon’ Cry”).

And since the kitchen sink is already slammed up against the wall, why not interpolate Dionne Warwick classic “Walk On By”?

Twitter is kind of blowing a gasket over the song…

…and to be completely honest, “Sausage” is achingly terrible. But like in that So Bad I’ll Just Watch It Again And Again Rather Than Throw Myself Into A Pit Of Sharpened, Upright Stakes kind of way. (That’s where it differs from Avril Lavigne’s “Hello Kitty,” a video we really never need to revisit again. Ever.)

Ah, well. Lil Mama probably sums it up best herself with her dick jam lyric, “Look at the way that they hate…look at me!”
