Too bad the song isn't an instrumental, though, because West overshadows his own instrumental excellence with dull-witted, unfunny lyrics about his world travels; nor does it help that he sings them in a strained voice that sounds more like the result of severe constipation than the legacy of a life spent on the road. And what's up with all this "going back to Dallas" business? Dude, you and I both know that you're from Long Island!       Dan Epstein     Dan Epstein is a Los Angeles-based journalist and pop-culture historian whose work has appeared in L.A.

Dan Epstein is right... it should have just been left as an instrumental. Jamie
