Baha Men, ‘Who Let the Dogs Out?’

April 15, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Say, A doggy is nuttin’ if he don’t have a bone
All dogy hold ya’ bone, all doggy hold it
A doggy is nuttin’ if he don’t have a bone
All dogy hold ya’ bone, all doggy hold it

Look, I’m not going to pretend that I understand this song…
Maybe it is a metaphor or maybe not. Maybe it is just about some poor fool that went and let the dogs out, spoiling the party.
It happens all the time, you are partying like it’s 1999 with some gals and your mates and someone goes and let the dogs out… which is a drag cause you have to go and get them back…Typical.

(…)

 

No, I don’t get it.

Thumbs down. (woof woof woof woof)

The Kooks, ‘Always Where I Need to Be’

April 7, 2008 · Leave a Comment

How the Kooks became so popular puzzles me a lot; ok, they have a couple of songs that would surely rock a campfire (she moves in her own way..Oh La…) but hell! if this band would have appeared at the height of the Britpop era, they’d have ended up supporting Shed Seven.

The best thing that can be said about this derivative slice of sunshine pop is that it’s short and wouldn’t be out of place in a Supergrass b-side compilation.
And yes, it is not the worst shit in the charts right now, but feck I can’t stand the singer.

Thumbs Down.

James Blunt, ‘You’re Beautiful’

April 3, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Definitions of Blunt on the web:

1. make less intense; 

2. numb: make numb or insensitive;

3. dull: make dull or blunt;

Is this the most annoying song ever? Possibly yes.

Are you beautiful James Blunt? No. Is your music beautiful? NO.

Thumbs Down. Obviously

FloRida ft. T-pain, ‘Low’

April 1, 2008 · 1 Comment

Shawty had them Apple Bottom Jeans [Jeans]
Boots with the fur [With the fur]
The whole club was lookin at her
She hit the flo [She hit the flo]
Next thing you know
Shawty got low low low low low low low low


beg you pardon? What is this shit?

Fact 1: “Low” was #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for 10 weeks and has been on the chart for 20 weeks overall

really? in the States, right?

Fact 2: yes, but now is coming over to Europe.

Oh Shit.

Fact 3: The rapper has the biggest selling digital download of all time, as “Low” has sold 3.3 million downloads

I was watching the video on youtube and one user comments: “wicked song love it awsome vibe makes me jump up and do the worm”

(…)
What can we learn from all this? That people with no musical taste cannot even write a proper, gramatically correct sentence.

Thumbs down. Low low low low low…

Kate Nash, ‘Foundations’

March 21, 2008 · Leave a Comment

UK number 2 hit

“You said I must eat so many lemons/cause I am so beettaaah”


Kate Nash has been so often criticized for her pronunciation of the English language… and ok, it is true that the way she pronounces “I am so beetaaah” is quite funny;
Mockney and all that. Post Lilly Allen…
It is true that she is probably not the most promising artist to have appeared in 2007.
Goddamn it! It is true that she is quite annoying and that I would rather tear my own arm apart and chew on it than listen to her debut album , but go and compare this to 90% of chart music and come tell me that it isn’t better. It is.

Thumbs Up.

Mika, ‘Relax, Take it Easy’

March 12, 2008 · Leave a Comment

number 1 in Poland, Lebanon, Finland, France, Romania, Denmark… list goes on.
You know the tune because you’ve heared it before, right?


 
isn’t it generously based on (ripped from) this:

What is this Mika? why are you messing with our poor minds?
This is funny on the first 5 listens… then it is annoying… later on you realize that copying old shit records is not ironically clever… it is plain stupid.

Take it easy or take it hard, but take it far away from the airwaves please.

Thumbs down.
