Eminem - "Cold Wind Blows"

sg
A couple of F.O.A.M. members sent me an interesting reference to Aquaman--in the lyrics of a new song by Eminem!

The song is "Cold Wind Blows", off his new album Recovery. I was going to buy the song and post it here, but as you might expect the lyrics are...a little on the rough side, so instead I'll just post the Aquaman line here:

"
I'll be nicer to women/When the aqua man drowns and the human torch starts swimming" (you can read the rest of the song's lyrics here)

This isn't the first time Eminem has mentioned superheroes in his songs (he even dressed up as Robin in one of his videos), but this is the first time Aquaman's been name-checked. Of course, Eminem gets it a little wrong--it's Aquaman, not The Aqua Man, but I'm not going to correct him in fear he'll hunt me down and kill me.

Fyi rob!, those lyrics (offensive as they may be) are the #2 Aquaman tweet on twitter...#1 of course remains the BP/Aquaman mashup of yours.

"...but I'm not going to correct him in fear he'll hunt me down and kill me."

LOL - thanks for the chuckle!
