And I'm pretty sure that's from a different at least 10 year old song

As for your concern about people feeling uncomfortable during "Wanna be ur lovr" performance: I believe Al sees who are willing to have "face full of crotch" , and who are like "oh no I'm not ready for this". I mean, if you were a girl who'd feel uncomfortable with what Al does during that performance, wouldn't you visibly display it? Since I haven't heard of anyone complaining about being embarrassed or upset, I guess he skips people who look like they might not like it.

In the Handy song, he says "I've got 99 problems but a switch ain't one", so I'm assuming the line I mentioned earlier is from the same song?

And I suppose so! I'm glad he's better at visual cues than me, then Much ado about nothing, is all.

It's from the song "Problem" by Ariana Grande, which features Iggy Azalea.

Ah, so it's simply a reference to another song, then?

There's a line similar to it "I got 99 problems, but a switch ain't one" in problem. "I think it's I got 99 problems, but you ain't one", or something like that.

Never heard it. To me that line is a reference to rap classic "99 problems" by Jay-Z.

See, that's what I was thinking.
So a parody of Fancy with a 99 problems reference stuck in there.

So now that that's been cleared up....

I'm still not sure how much of a coincidence it is that both Al and Iggy dropped tracks with Jay Z 99 problems references within months of each other. It kind of reminds me of when Al dropped a "funky cold medina" reference in "Isle Thing" or that "Girl You Know Its' True" in The Plumbing Song.

I REALLY dislike his song "Bob" I love the lyrics and I find the song really funny! But its the singing, its not Als singing, its FLIPPING BOB DYLAN! his singing has always annoyed me, and since this was a parody of Bob Dylan, Al had to sing it like Bob Dylan.
I CANNOT stand it.

Sounds great, was a great homage to Bob Dylan. He really put his own twist on Bob Dylan's vocal delivery, sounds awesome when Al does it.
