Let's dive in:
zz... uh, huh oh, I'm supposed to be talking about this crap, huh? Ok, let's get down to the nitty-gritty. The reason that this, above everything else I heard on the radio today, was the worst song of the day, stems from the dang title.
This song is based on a corny pickup line frat boys use on drunk girls at house parties. If I said you had a nice body, would you hold it against me? This junk hit number one? There's nothing objectionable in the lyrical content, it's just dumb. Just take a look at this repetitive garbage.
Add in a boring samey technoish beat and you have a recipe for a snoozer of a song that is popular likely only because people have a bit of nostalgia for the Britney of old, songs like "Baby, One More Time" or "Toxic." Those songs come on and people still dance and sing along. This song just continues to signal Britney's continuing slide into irrelevancy. She won't be a Madonna or Janet Jackson. She's running out of time to parade a lithe body around in skimpy outfits doing silly dances.
At least I never have to listen to this crap again.
Correction: even if this was the most lyrically profound song on the radio right now it could still be the worst song for one reason: vocals/vocal processing. This is like a cross between a robot and the Chipmunks. Pain.
ReplyDelete(The lyrics are pretty sorry too though, improve them and the vocals and I think the beat/music could support what could be at least a decent song...)
