Summer Anthem of 2012? We'll see

May 30, 2012#2

So apparently guys have been pressing business cards with this song's chorus to hand out to women.

this song, like so many summer pop earworms of July past, annoys and bores me. I was really hoping Gotye would get more pop traction before this bullshit came out.

I don't know about you, but Gotye is getting played to death around here. People in this area are just tired of the song being played on every top 40, rock, country, and hip-hop (with a remix) station. He's got some great songs, but you can only hear them so many times a day.

I don't listen to the radio, so I have no idea if he's getting overplayed. I know the youtube crowd has already covered the shit out of it, which is annoying enough. But I really, really don't want to keep hearing this song in the OP.

Gotcha. My car is an ancient pile of rusty bolts, so the radio is pretty much all I have to listen to while driving. Thus the radio exposure.

As for the song in the OP... yeah. Typical pop stuff. Not my style, but if people like it then more power to 'em.

Really? You had to express your feelings about this song through simile?

yeah, I listened to some of the other random new music, and I think a Jack White, Beach House, Japandroids, or Tenacious D song might wrest the title from one C R Jepsen

The new Japandroids album is fucking riproaring awesome. Definitely not going to go all out summer hit, though.

Did I tell you, Ser, about the little article in Rolling Stone about Skrillex and his bass dropping? I'll have to scan it and post it, I think.

I....agree with GasBandit? *cough*hack*cough* Not because the song's inane (it's catchy and crappy and has "summer hit" written all over it, it annoys me already but what are you going to do?), but because the lip synching's so crappy. Really.

Popular music sells well. This shouldn't be a big shock. And while I can see how some people might not like it, I think cursing all of humanity because people bought the song is a bit much.
