32 BECKY G "Shower" [340 points, 9 votes]
http://youtu.be/50-_oTkmF5I

YES!!!!

good song! didn't realize people around here liked it that much

i like that there's a chiptune cover album of 1989 that claims to exclusively use video game sounds from 1989; that there is some catnip for my cornball sensibilities

awesome song

"shake it off" is likeable nonsense but it's a little weird to see people who haven't given TS the time of day in 7 years hear this one and be all "hmmm, now this, this one isn't too bad!" i mean of all her songs to suddenly like

la da dee la da da la da dahhhhh

what % of videos in this list have beats audio product placements

aw very uplifting tune this one

FUCK YES!!! i was worried this wouldn't make it

hook very umbrella imo

was this a hit??? last time i looked becky g existed only on pop messageboards as a byword for a laughable flop

Just think while you've been getting down and out about the liars and the dirty, dirty posters in this thread, you could've been getting down to this sick beat.

three songs today about just singing/dancing on yr own very inspiring

90m hit can't be wrong

This is like The Lumineers and Disney Radio had a baby.

DANCING IN THE MIRROR
SINGING IN THE SHOWER

idk it's pretty much the most palatable song I've heard by her, but that only makes it like a 5/10

I have no idea whether Becky G exists irl but I discovered "Shower" via the rolling worst music thread and then I listened to it 20 times in a row. My #4.

haha

i dunno.. everything else i heard by her just didn't appeal to me very much at all. i get that people like the country-tinged dear diary boy/girl lyrics or whatever but it's just not my cuppa choice.

it was a minor hit in the states (top 20). it seems like the label wanted it to be bigger b/c they postponed the album. she is still basically seen as a laughable flop.

ha this is really good tho. totally slept on it. when the echoing backing vox come in! i like how the verses, bridge and chorus all feel really different but not just pasted together

It's totally an okay song. I'll probably happily listen to it several more times.

Yeah, no kidding. This day's results were awesome until they suddenly took a dive.

"You light me up inside, just like the 4th of July". :-/

― a pleasant little psychedelic detour in the elevator (Amory Blaine)

best pre-chorus melody of the year bar none

when the flutes come in on the bridge <3

'shower' is the first civil war wave song i've really been down with

Flop my arse, this was number one in the Ukraine!

Highest song on my ballot to place so far, discovered it through the summer jams thread but it's such a joyous pop song.

Yeah, this is a major guilty pleasure.

I can see why this is a flop, the recorder/flute sound in the chorus doesn't have enough punch for commercial radio. Even makes the song sound a bit melancholic. It was the only part of the song I liked, though.

Louis J - "Prancing in the summer"

has anyone sung it in the shower

I'm about to.

Okay I kinda love this. Well done ILX.

this is nowhere near a flop, it's a gargantuan hit

unless you think a platinum selling single in 2014 is a flop?

it's a wonder that dr luke & cirkut can produce such gorgeous sounding, melody overloaded songs like this and "show me what you got"/"ugly heart" for g.r.l. and yet send utter garbage to nicki minaj. you'd think they have a vendetta against her.

tho yes "selling" har har

also lol at

33. taylor swift
32. no its becky

rly rly h8 the forename + initial pop naming convention
