Everything that's massively popular and of its time sounds dated

i don't even know what dated means in this context.

I would like to hope that, somewhere out there in the world, a prospective employer is googling poor Josiah Barley's name and learning of his enhanced penis.

ugh i was in college :(

I was on ILM.

In my mind this thread is the peak of ILM, actually - I'm not going to read it back and check this of course. It was probably the time the enthusiasm feedback loop between "OMG New Song" and "Must Post" worked best anyway.

Groke, Tuesday, 19 June 2007 16:09 (5 years ago) Permalink

i was in high school and i listened to this song six times a day

Ax-post -- All that and it started a meme. Can't go wrong.

Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 19 June 2007 16:16 (5 years ago) Permalink

Ax post? I like that.

Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 19 June 2007 16:19 (5 years ago) Permalink

I used to not like this song, but it's pretty good now that I listen to it again

I will weep for the lost days of my youth 8 years from now, when Lindsay Lohan completes her inevitable transformation into Genesis P Orridge

Five years ago, I was at the same job in the same city doing the same shit.

I didn't like Missy very much in 7th grade; this was probably my Lifehouse stage.

Tape Store, Tuesday, 19 June 2007 21:05 (5 years ago) Permalink

hahahaha Lifehouse

RFI: The sample at the beginning - "DJ, please/ Pick up your phone/ I'm on the request line"

The Reverend, Thursday, 23 August 2007 18:49 (5 years ago) Permalink

zhane - request line

and what, Thursday, 23 August 2007 18:54 (5 years ago) Permalink

Thanks, but are you sure that isn't a cover of the sampled tune? The sample has male voices, too, and the female voices sound different.

The Reverend, Thursday, 23 August 2007 18:57 (5 years ago) Permalink

Ethan's wrong the original is by Rock Master Scott

I can't believe it's already been 9 months.

i know right

Check out the first twenty or so posts on this thread. Has ILM ever been that collectively excited upon hearing a new song for the first time? It makes me smile.

Mr. Snrub, Tuesday, 25 March 2008 03:06 (5 years ago) Permalink

I remember hearing the song and being all "ho hum, I guess she won't top Get Ur Freak On" and then being kind of surprised by this thread a few days later.

Alex in Baltimore, Tuesday, 25 March 2008 03:26 (5 years ago) Permalink

I was having a Pete Rockist moment at the time this came out.
