    There is nothing funny about this man at all. I can't hear ten seconds of Honey with out crying.

    Summer the first time is an absolutely great song for just chilling on a hot summer's day.Also Honey has become known as one of the worst songs of all time. Unfair I say, I think the lyrics are class and I hope to do a cover version of it.
