Pet Rock: The Pop Culture Blog

I was fully prepared to retire Soulja Boy Monday this week, figuring it had run its course after hearing the song played on Z100.

Then, I experienced something on Sunday that altered my line of thinking.

I was partying in a bar called Head First in Cincinnati before the Jets-Bengals game with Lawyer friends Steve and Brendan and Teacher friend Kevin. DJ Toad, aka some dude with Grandmaster Sex-ay sunglasses and a Bengals jersey with "DJ" instead of a number on it, switched the music from Pearl Jam to Soulja Boy's "Crank Dat."

Two blonde girls, who combined weighed roughly 34 pounds (including their Bengals jerseys), cleared a circle and performed the Soulja Boy dance for the entire song. It was a beautiful thing to see. It earned a round of applause, at least from me and my crew. It was at this point I said, "Damn! I wish I had my digital camera with me to record that and make it my Soulja Boy Monday clip."

Alas, I was powerless to record it, so we're stuck with some Superman. But at least we've got another Soulja Boy Monday to be proud of so crank dat!
