it's "hot ride"
"call me maybe" has really nothingy verses, but damn that chorus is great

hot ride!!!! i never ever thought of that. god that's such a boring lyric compared to "hot guy" or "hot pie" and tbh far less effective a metaphor for the strength of my feelings

hang on are we sure it's not "hot guy" in the original? cuz i listened back to the one direction x factor cover and they change that line to "want you to love me like i'm a hot guy"

Isn't "hot ride" kinda dirty if you're Irish?

i had never heard or read the line anywhere as anything but "hot guy" until this thread yesterday

i heard it on the radio a couple nights ago. it's basically what you'd expect from them and redone. it's not as good as "on the floor"

some worthwhile thoughts
La Roux @larouxofficial"Call me maybe" is that a lyric?? I can't tell who anyone on the radio Is anymore its just noise. Sorry but where has all the music gone?
La Roux @larouxofficialI am perfectly aware I will be slated for saying that but I'm genuinely worried for music.
La Roux @larouxofficialI love radio as a medium I just wish I could listen to it

I was going to retort by pasting some syntactically questionable lyrics from "Bulletproof," but y'know, why bother.

"Call Me Maybe" is actually a great title/lyric. I get what the whole story is about in just those three words. Call me (maybe), Elly Jackson, when you write something half as clever.

abchris ;) @Fergyyy_@larouxofficial some of your lyrics are crap. I wouldnt be saying that....
La Roux @larouxofficial@Fergyyy_ at least I didn't get a team of people to write them
ugh this is the one that pisses me off the most
― teledyldonix, Saturday, 21 April 2012 16:11 (1 year ago) Permalink
so i guess she thinks carly stole a writing credit on that song then
like, not that that should even matter to any non-idiot
― uberweiss, Saturday, 21 April 2012 17:42 (1 year ago) Permalink
yeah seriously. there isn't even anything inherently wrong with songs written by teams of professional songwriters, but i find it equally amusing and infuriating that elly jackson often criticizes songs like "call me maybe" and "love story" by suggesting that they were written a lot of people (which, oops, neither song was). the most annoying thing about elly is that to someone who has never heard any of the horrible things she routinely says, she might appear to be someone who's trying to break down stereotypes about women in the music industry, when in reality she buys into these stereotypes probably even more than your average misogynist (and sees herself as some noble exception that proves the rule). the aggravating suggestion that i get from that tweet is something along the lines of: if you're a young(-looking) female artist who scores a catchy hit that appeals to other young people, it's because it was shamelessly written, tweaked and manufactured (my favorite anti-pop scare word) by a team of songwriters who just want to take money from stupid, uncritical children.

re: CRJ - the weird 'think she's a teenager playacting at being older' despite being two years older than me vibe rev was picking up on might be - in part - because the teenpop-pier direction is a newer one for her?
the first album post Canadian Idol iirc was a bit more folk-pop.

and call me maybe started off that way also - as an acoustic number - before Josh Ramsay (Marianas Trench) dude pumped it up into disco strings and emo guitars

i dunno, it's as much about the way she looks as what she sings.
as far as "call me maybe" goes, it's the strings that make the song

V-Car was 21-22 when her big song hit and everyone was shocked by how 'old' she was, so i can see why Jepsen seeming even younger and being 26 is blowing people's minds

this makes me unspeakably happy
hundreds of people singing along to the earwormiest single of the year (after 'call me maybe' obvs) at the top of their lungs
love it :D
i want a fourth demi album and i want it to be pop/rock/bit of 'every time you lie' soulthe idea of demi doing r&b was nice but the actual result was laughably basic
― uberweiss, Wednesday, 25 April 2012 01:47 (1 year ago) Permalink
still, upon returning to unbroken it was not as bad as i'd remembered. the first six songs are trash but it gets pretty good after that; skyscraper/give your heart a break/fix a heart/in real life especially

"behind enemy lines" should be her direction if she wants to do r&b

So this new Little Boots single, "Every Night I Say A Prayer"
I really like it, it's quite Saint Etienne in places but it seems to obviously pick up from the Beth Ditto/Kim-Ann Foxman solo singles.
