May "hilariously sleazy" be an option?

EVOLghost 05.30.2009 09:02 AM

that was awful.

EVOLghost 05.30.2009 09:05 AM

And there's actually dcomments of people praising them...wow.

I watched the whole thing. I think that qualifies it for genius.

Glice 05.30.2009 09:14 AM

Did any of you watch up to 2:00? That's fucking genius. It's a song that's features elements of about 15 pop genres of the last 5 years or so. I mean, it's fucking awful, but it's interesting awful.

sarramkrop 05.30.2009 09:16 AM

To be honest I can't really make my mind up. I think it's rubbish but something about it makes me want to go back and listen to it again. It's the heavy use of vocoder that I find most distasteful.

sarramkrop 05.30.2009 09:23 AM

Ah ok. Yeah, I've decided that that could be what makes me go back to it. Elements of Britney, Justin etc.

sarramkrop 05.30.2009 09:25 AM

the video is pretty cool though.

nicfit 05.30.2009 09:34 AM

I don't like the "sound" of it, but it's not bad. A better production (and yes, lesssss vocoder) could help, it's kinda addictive. Not genious, but not rubbish either.

Glice 05.30.2009 09:35 AM

Yeah. There's something quite alluring about them being this dayglo pastiche of the already-lurid worlds of crunk, rn'b and screamo (with elements of Eurohouse in that video aswell).

I mean, to re-iterate, awful, but interesting awful. Certainly preferable to ying-yang twins or lil' Wayne (sorry, I tried, don't geddit).

MellySingsDoom 05.30.2009 09:42 AM

The vocals are Auto-Tune hell, the screaming seems out of place, the girls are all party-crypto-style wannabes, and the music is nice in a moderately inoffensive way. Hmm, it's pretty rubbish, and certainly not up to the genius of that "put a donk on it" tune. Having said that, it's certainly better than anything punted out by Ministry of Sound these days.

[Sandbag] 05.30.2009 10:05 AM

the video is fucking horrible
the voice is fucking horrible, the lyrics are awful and the only good thing is the background loop which is a bit predictable and cliched..

so.. genious

automatic bzooty 05.30.2009 10:07 AM

is this fuh real? because i couldn't stop laughing.

dionysusundone 05.30.2009 10:09 AM

PAULYBEE2656 05.30.2009 11:50 AM
