While people are often surprised to hear how much money special interests contribute to political campaigns, “special interest to one person means an advocacy group to another, so the semantics of it make a difference,” MacManus says.Īlan Farago, president of Friends of the Everglades, says the sugar industry gets what it wants, when it wants it, thanks to its influence on Washington and Florida policymakers. (Disclosure: MacManus’ family has long worked in agriculture.) “In Florida, it has been an industry that has very much been involved in trying to influence the political process legally through PACs (political action committees) and other contributions,” MacManus says.īut, she says other agriculture industries that spend big money on campaigns and lobbying efforts have found similar success. She says sugar companies are often successful at getting legislation passed - or preventing less appealing proposals from moving forward. “Historically, big sugar has meant big bucks for politicians running for office,” says University of South Florida political science professor Susan MacManus. The processing facilities say they are self-sufficient, operating on renewable energy and selling surplus electricity back to the Florida Power and Light grid. It’s grown in a 700,000-acre region between Lake Okeechobee and the Everglades known as the Everglades Agricultural Area. (Actual farming acreage, which includes other crops, is 470,000 because of conservation areas and other projects.)įlorida sugar growers say they provide the state with $3.1 billion in economic activity each year – and 12,500 jobs. Besides, the rest of the song is completely original writing – again.Sugar is one of the biggest special interests in Tallahassee. More sugar comes from Florida than anywhere else in the country. I don't necessarily care for his version of it, but it's not a 'rip-off,' it's just a COVER.Īnd in addition, this song only uses the chorus to 'Blue' and I'm pretty sure there isn't anyone who is unaware that the chorus is from the Eiffel 65 song. Flo Rida does it in a totally different style, adds his own flair to it, and suddenly it's a travesty. I didn't see anyone bitching when Dope covered You Spin Me Round, and they performed it pretty much exactly like Dead or Alive wrote it, and it was awesome, and I bet you didn't get all pissed about it then. Lots of bands/artists do it!! What is the big deal?! bands/artists do covers all the time! It's not a new concept nor is it something unique to Flo Rida. I got a good appetite with you on me, on me.Īnd tonight I'm gonna get me some, get me some.Īnd tonight I'm gonna get me some, get me some sugar. Like my candy, my candy you so sweet, so sweet. You like my sugar, my sugar you so sweet, so sweet. Get, get on the grip, girl you ain't lyin'. Squeeze the sugar cane on your mouth, must beat.Īin't your mama slirp, stickin', usin' my tree. Level with our trip, I'm a lip bitin' beast. I don't know a piece, give me all your sweets.īottom and top lip, bout to have a sugar feast. Wanna peace, to a piece gotta get a piece.

Now and later, I don't wanna have to wait, you the one. Hey, Sh Shawty would you mind, cause I want me some. Lips feel soft as a feather when we touch, Lil mama, give me high blood pressure when you blush. Pretty much, you're givin' me a sugar rush.

My hood, now and later, throw back like a pager. Sweeter so flavor, that's good for this player. Spit sprung for the taste, addicted to her gloss.Ī little mistletoe, sippin' Grand Marnier I'm a fan all day.ĭo me that favor, cause I like your flavor. So my love with the lips, put a bug in the ear tone.
