Yo Monk, U down wit’ O.C.D.?

That’s not my phonetical mangling by the way, that’s the USA Network combining two of my favorite things: street slang mixed with chat shorthand wrapped up in a Naughty By Nature rip-off homage. (Man, sure am using that phrase a lot this week.) Anyway, check out the rest of the lyrics and the actual song here. Now, I loved this show when it first came out. Brilliant writing, quirky characters and Tony Shalhoub with an understated lead performance. Then it devolved into Murder He Wrote with Latex Gloves to Avoid Germs. And now, after Stilwell Angel’s mom left the cast, it’s just a slapstick mess of a sitcom that’s not only jumped, but jumped and left the building. Word.
