Ray Bands

B.o.B. spits rhymes over Jamieson Jones' synth-heavy soundscapes about a girl that wants to get with him, his riches and of course his dope shades. Ray-Ban is a popular high end brand of sunglasses, which were first manufactured by Bausch & Lomb in 1937. Pilots in the United States Army Air Corps immediately adopted the sunglasses as they protected the soldiers' eyes from the sun while maintaining a stylish look. Their sunglasses gained popularity during World War II, when pictures of General Douglas MacArthur wearing them as he landed on a beach in the Philippines were widely circulated. Their brands of Aviator and Wayfarer shades have been worn by various celebrity icons over several decades.

Here are some more songs about sunglasses: 1) "Cheap Sunglasses" by ZZ Top. A tribute to cheap sunglasses the band used to buy in gas stations. 2) "Sunglasses At Night" by Corey Hart. Penned by Hart where after recording his first album in a rainy Manchester, England, he found himself sometimes wearing sunglasses at night. 3) "Shades." Diddy declares rather unwisely to a girl that he will do anything for her - even take off his shades and "stare right at the sun." (Don't do it Diddy!) 4) "Blue Slide Park." Miller raps: "Hey, I got these Ray-Ban shades. Kinda look like somethin' Lennon would rock."
