"We Are Young" vs. "Somebody That I Used To Know"

it's been the #1 song in the country for weeks

i'm totally #teamgotye in this one

"Call Me Maybe"

even tho "call me maybe" hit #1 it feels like a pop song that's still somehow bigger on the internet than it is irl

My perspective might be warped by the number of weddings I've gone to in the last couple months.

true. it's still only #2 tho ain't it? (xpost)

typo -- i knew it didn't hit #1.

how have i not heard "call me maybe" yet until right now

Zero interest in attempted viral lipdubs?

you are correct

still haven't heard "call me maybe"

Hey i just met you

And this is crazy

Your crush is gay

Become a lesby !

Viral lipdups -- I think I got that from a hooker in Tijuana last year. OH!

lipdubs

those Jeff Bhasker drums that sound like air being let out of an industrial hose are the worst, almost as bad as the song itself

I have a softspot for the maj3 to octave melodic leap in We Are Young. The chorus of the gotye one has a kind of neat meanderiness to it I guess. Both have shit verses.

let's leave Carly out of the discussion until the "wite people Hot 100 hits of 2012" poll

Because neither of these other 2 songs will obv apply there.

the "wite people Hot 100 hits of 2012"

If this is shorthand for our eoy poll, Gotye already placed #39 in 2011.

o_0 "call me maybe" is the most irl-present organic pop hit since "super bass"

usda approved free range

The intro to Goyte sounds like it wants to be the intro to "Senses working overtime". And the chorus of fun. sounds like "A little respect" slowed down. My 6 yr old son loves Goyte, just so he can shout "didn't have to CUT ME OFF" as loud as he can. I hate both songs intensely. Spoiled ballot for me.

the fact that the two songs of this poll have managed to sustain a 100+ post discussion when ilm, generally, seems more tumbleweeds than ever, is a horrible indictment of you all. they're both terrible, i'm hazarding a guess that goaty is less awful but i can't recall how either go and i'm not about to change that

you're tired. go to sleep. forever.

lex, is that a challenge for us all to talk incessantly about The Afghan Whigs?

goat.ye

i don't know who the afghan whigs are but they can't be worse than these two

i can't recall how either go and i'm not about to change that...

i don't know who the afghan whigs are but they can't be worse than these two

I can't remember "Superbass."

HOW TO LIVE, imo

they're not, xposts

news flash, the internet is real life, especially if you were born after 1990 or so

gotye song is kinda great, fun. song is kinda not

Amon is a Gotye fan. Smdh.

i watched the fun. music video twice, both times to answer the q "which part has janelle monae again?"

hey a mashup, guess i'll fire up napster and download it over my college's ethernet

make sure it's T3

i am not a goyter fan but i can stand listening to the song. its a weird track (instrumentally) for radio fodder

you're tired. go to sleep. forever.

lmao

unless thats a ref to something im missing, could be a nom for rolling hardman thread

"We Are Young" is the worst thing on the radio right now and that takes a lot of effort. "Somebody That I Used To Know" is decent.

itd be cool if fundot died in the fire they set

I didn't like The Format, and like fun. even less.

Gotye seems like a bro, even if more than half his album (and, I guess, his previous albums?) is boring.

"we are young" sounds like a slowed down remix of a Fallout Boy (or Panic at the Disco!) song chorus
