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

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

loling at that mash-up alfred posted

Loathe the first, can tolerate the second.

exactly

fuck you all!

^^^ somebody that I used to know

wait, what is flopson mad about?

He doesn't hate fun.?

i'm MAD at this growing consensus that "somebody that i used to know" is acceptable or tolerable! it is NEITHER

do you prefer a kick in the shins or a bat biting on your nads

annoying whiny Sting voice of gotye dude

its always on the radio at work - and until today and this thread i thought it was sting

dunno the other one

Nah, it's both. Some days, it even sounds GOOD imo. xps

i just watched the video thats a really big apple where did they get that

you have awful taste in music! xp

Not completely. I just listened to that fun. song just to refresh my memory and it's even more insipid than I'd remembered.

Best thing about Somebody I Used to Know is you can sing "Senses Working Overtime" opening verse over the into.
hey hey
night fights day

I can def hear Mandy Moore doing it.

i never heard this Fun. song until now

this blows goats

or shit, nevermind i heard this chorus before, is this in a car commercial or something?

these guys should be shot in the town square.

I eye-roll whenever they both come on, but Gotye's success certainly puzzles me way more.

You could sing that over *that* song!

It's like fundot took every indie band's lousy crossover "hit" from the last 7 or so years, threw them in a blender, and made some slushy shit out of them. Drink up, suckers!

I can def hear Mandy Moore doing it.

mandy seems like a sweet gal, but holy christ is her music boring.

yeah that cover is really bad

she's so cute and sweet though

she also did "Drop The Pilot" (much better)

she has a tattoo of a sperm on her foot, I'm kind of in love with her

if she covers "We Are Young" I'm prepared to love it

but Gotye's success certainly puzzles me way more.

Nah, I totally get it. Of course, I'm an admirer of the song too, but I mean...I get why that one crossed over the way it did. That's some really highbrow-sounding shit for people who may buy three cds a year and quit listening to the radio when Sting stopped charting. If all these people collectively buy the cd or the single on iTunes together, it gets pushed up the charts by a unified force.

that gotye song, aside from whether you think it's good or bad or he's worthy or not etc., is a hell of a crazy earworm. someone should really figure out why that is. what's the particular progression/melodic line/voicing that makes it so hard to get rid of?

I thought the best thing on that record was her Waterboys cover.

soooo not true

It might be true of Adele, certainly not true of Goituh.

Adele is hugely popular with kids.

soooo not true

Actually, I work for a company that charts music and how it got where it is, so I kinda sorta know what I'm talking about. I mean, I know how and from where the song got popular. The who that made it popular is still a little mysterious.

there are probably thousands of people like my friends who read PFM regularly and downloaded STIUTK.

that's my point

when i first heard that song i figured it would be a big hit, sounded like a hit....i should be an A&R

i kinda dig it when uncool dad-pop/NPR stuff like this Adele gets really big one the basis of crazy undeniable pop hits like this and rolling in the deep because i think it gives poptimists fits
