Rhyming "neato" with "libido"

The Onion's AV Club has a fun feature on songs with factual or logical mistakes in the lyrics. The obvious example comes first with U2's "Pride (In the Name of Love)" where Bono claims MLK was shot in the morning of April 4 when it was actually early evening. And, yet, Bono still doesn't suck on this blog. How strange.

My favorite entry is about Young MC's "Bust a Move":

Though Young MC is completely logical throughout most of this song––he's absolutely right, in most situations, you should bust a move––things get a little confusing in the last verse. He raps: "Your best friend Harry / has a brother Larry / in five days from now he's gonna marry / he's hopin' you can make it there if you can / 'cause in the ceremony you'll be the best man." Now, why would your best friend's brother choose you as best man over his own flesh and blood? Is Harry just going to be a run-of-the-mill usher at his brother's wedding while you're toasting and keeping track of the rings? Also, why would Larry inform you of his family-shaking decision a mere five days before the wedding? It doesn't make sense. Fortunately, Young MC totally compensates for any logical gaps in the next line, when he rhymes "neato" and "libido."
