Flo Rida and Ne-Yo team up on “Anchorman”-inspired track
March 23, 2009I’m wondering if Ne-Yo made the song “Be on You” on a bet, like maybe somebody told him “there’s no way you can make a song using a quote from Anchorman as the chorus, and make it sound like a legitimate song” Well, he did it. Download.
Ne-Yo:
“Excuse me little mama if I may,
Take this thought and send it your way,
And if you don’t like that,
Then send it right back,
But I just gotta say,
I wanna be on you.”
Ron Burgundy:
“I wanna say something. I’m gonna put it out there; if you like it, you can take it, if you don’t, send it right back. I want to be on you.”

it’s almost a direct copy. goes to show hip hop artists aren’t able to create their own music.
Hahaha, I heard this on the radio at work the other day and when I heard the chorus I couldn’t help but laugh my ass off. I actually had to google it, that’s how I came across your blog. I think the ‘lost a bet’ theory is a large possibility.
aaron, Ummmmm, NeYo is not a hip hop artists. And he also happens to be one of the most talented song writers in the music business. While I agree with you that this was taken from Anchorman (I love that movie so I recognized it right away), and I agree that the lack of talent among hip hop artists of today is astounding, I do not agree that NeYo can’t “create their own music” as I am pretty sure that he can and does create very high quality music on a regular basis.
And on a side note, I happen to be a songwriter and it is allot I mean a hell of allot harder than it looks, you try “creating your own music” and then talk about others.
