Village Voice's F2K

It's hard to write a good pop song about private desires without it sounding like you're sort of flaunting them instead of keeping them private, but I think that "La La" at least keeps the desires strange (and blunt) enough that there's no mistaking it for some kind of tease ("you'll keep my secret won't you" as "you'll be sure to tell everyone, won't you").

I've never known where to put this video.

(well not really a video...)

Belated xpost. Thanks for the links xhukx. I don't get Keith's appeal myself - I wonder how many non-Americans do - but I see where you're coming from.

Go-Go covers of popular songs are one of my favorite things ever.

glad you like. this was all over DC radio in '05. a good year.

7!

the dull rumbling you hear in the distance is me repeatedly smashing my head against my desk

haha oh phew i knew scherzinger was coming and am relieved it's one of her songs that i don't give a shit about - will defend "whatever u like" and "supervillain" to the hilt, as well as most PCDs singles

Like, this girl is talented out the wazoo, so exactly whose idea was it to give her the absolute worst possible material for her solo work? Also who told her that scooping vocal inflection was sexy? I would like to find that person and introduce their face to a slapping.

she really really doesn't get enough credit for her vocal talent - like i get how the PCDs' cheerfully trashy image might be offputting, though i'm down with it, but it's annoying that people can't see past that.

I've been on her bandwagon since Eden's Crush but this song isn't fit to lick a dog's ass.

omg that "Rio" cover

Nicole from The Pussycat Dolls has released a new Brazilian inspired remake of Duran Duran's hit song, "Rio," to celebrate the launch of Caress® Brazilian Exotic Oil Infusions body wash. "Rio (Caress Brazilian Mix)" encourages women to unleash their sensuous sides, vivacious charm and Brazilian spirits.

It is massively infuriating that PCD gets songs like "I Hate This Part" and "Buttons" and solo Nicole gets... "Puakenikeni"

did you ever hear "supervillain" and "whatever you like"? both much much better than "puakenikeni"

I liked "Supervillain" a lot; "Whatever You Like"... not so much

Wow. I mean at first I was just at "ok bad song" but as it continued and I took my mind off it as I read the article, it took the song length to give me a massive fucking migraine. Even the worst of the worst on the list hasen't given me actual ill health until now. Gonna go dig up some aspirin.

yeah, bad material or no, she's definitely talented, which is why it always irritated me in the Idolator days when Maura made Scherzinger her favorite person to hate on, like jeez there are such better targets out there. can't complain w/ that song being on the list though.

Squandering talent is my #1 most defensible reason to hate on someone, or at least shake them vigorously.

yeah but Maura never took the angle that that was her problem

Can we please see Kevin Federline's "Popozao" in the top five?

My life would be complete.

I'm hoping Daniel Powter- Bad Day makes it.

6!

why why why why why god why

Jim says:

This song is holy shit bad, but why the random diss on OkGo? They spent their early years touring with They Might Be Giants and have been rocking choreographed dance numbers since way before YouTube. If that isn't a real "nerd type" I don't know what is.

I think your silly Twitter reviews are hurting your ability to write past a zingy one-liner (which in this case made no fucking sense).

LOL

Who sits down, writes the line "I get the fever for the flavor of a coochie" and says "YES THAT'S IT"?

the booger-wiping brat-punk attitude of Sum 41 + the lunkheaded posturing of rap-rock's dying Mark McGasps

i have no idea how i'm gonna get out these last 3

there is literally NO REASON for any musically-inclined person on this board to not have a record deal if these guys can get one

There is no such thing as a record deal.

"what do i have to say to get inside girl?"

not wanting this to turn into every other ilx thread but what is racist about "Here's the scenario/Gonna strip you down like a car in the barrio."? I guess i've just not been racist enough in my life to get the slang these kids use in their music videos about the vagina taste

That line is saying "I'm going to strip you like a car gets stripped in a Hispanic neighborhood".

It has nothing to do with vagina taste and everything to do with equating removing clothes to Hispanic kids looting cars.

I was gonna say, that one was pretty easy to figure out.
