90's Jams #36: Ginuwine "Pony" (1996)

Big ups to Timbo for learning to burp on-pitch so accurately. The production and lyrics of this one (especially the lyrics in the chorus) somewhat surpass mere absurdity due in no small part to the massiveness of its sound, and its Prince-influenced 7- or 8-part vocal harmonies. This isn't R.Kelly slow-jam absurdity... This is what plays when the Greek God Zeus fucks his bitches. And what classic 90's Timbaland joint would be complete without its endless subtleties: the hi-hat nuances, the short little panting breaths, the quiet key-part playing the counter-melody during the chorus, and plenty more that only really show up when listening in the car or with the headphones cranked.

Edit: I'm pretty sure this was my first time seeing this video.. Fucking amazing..
