Whether the humor on this Don Was-co-produced EP is intentional or not, the lyrics of the title track are really silly, making sexual allusions out of book learning. Two of the other three songs are more of the same “urban contemporary” music; “Kamikaze Boy” is, by contrast, nearly Carsish rock sung with autobiographical conviction by one Lamont Zodiac.
