Today in Jake's Questionable Taste in Music

(Not to be confused with Jake's Questionable Taste in Headgear...thank you, 2002...)

THERE'S THIS STORY.  And it's a story all Jake fans must learn (and which a lot of you probably already know) and a story all Jake fans must form an opinion on.

And the story is this:

When Jake Gyllenhaal was younger, had shorter hair, and was living in the desert because he was filming Jarhead, he was completely obsessed with the song "Candy Shop" by 50 Cent and played it nonstop and drove Peter Sarsgaard nuts.

If you have never heard the song "Candy Shop" by 50 Cent, you owe it to the enrichment of your future life to hit play on the YouTube video below:


When Prophecy Girl was younger, had shorter hair, and was living in Ireland because she did that one time, she developed an ill-advised crush on a male roommate who was completely obsessed with the song "Candy Shop" by 50 Cent and played it nonstop and drove Prophecy Girl nuts.

So she will always associate this song with heavy drinking and Tesco frozen pizza and the carefree days before the roommate in question unceremoniously dumped her for yet another roommate.

All thoughts, opinions, or wistful reminiscences regarding the song "Candy Shop" by 50 Cent are welcome and wholesomely encouraged.

(Yeah, there's no news.  No pictures.  I got nothing.)

Or, if you would like to just watch a Brokeback parody of Jarhead on YouTube, you can do that, too.

Thanks to gyllenhaalisgr8 for the well-timed Jarhead find!
