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

I discovered "Shower" via the rolling worst music thread and then I listened to it 20 times in a row. My #4.

love that this thread spawns favorites.
i'm not crazy about shower as it's a little too boneless and becky g's other songs are MUCH worse but shower is inoffensive and enjoyable in small doses imo

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.

Matt DC, Wednesday, 21 January 2015 17:03 (eleven years ago)

Yeah, this is a major guilty pleasure.

MikoMcha, Wednesday, 21 January 2015 17:04 (eleven years ago)

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.

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.

prolego, Wednesday, 21 January 2015 17:07 (eleven years ago)

tho yes "selling" har har

but i can't remember if i even voted for "shower." great song, v iridescent

emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Wednesday, 21 January 2015 17:10 (eleven years ago)

I only really have one opinion about Taylor Swift and it's really more of an indisputable fact than an opinion, and that is that every spoken aside in a Taylor Swift song is corny and bad

Obv the shake it off bridge doubles down on that but at least everyone stopped calling it a "rap "

o.m.g. lol @ hurt butt (wins), Wednesday, 21 January 2015 17:11 (eleven years ago)

Ha, I didn't think I'd heard this before but yeah, I remember it from "worst songs" thread. It's areet.

The Reverend, Wednesday, 21 January 2015 17:13 (eleven years ago)

one of the odder Billboard calls of the year was "Shower" appearing on the rap charts, much more melodic delivery on there than the stuff I've heard where Becky G really raps (although she kinda sings in a Migos flow at one point)

EVERY HUGH JACKMAN HAS A VAN HELSING (some dude), Wednesday, 21 January 2015 17:15 (eleven years ago)

a migos cover of shower (featuring thugger) would win this thing in a walk

ot genasis song was the viral vine meme song with the shortest shelf-life tbh, doubting it will place

lol yeah, I don't think it'll be on this list but the satellite radio hip hop station still plays it a bunch, and at its peak it was probably once per hour

I have no idea who programs the playlist on that outside of call-in shows, though

this is not in the top half of tracks on the record but it was the single so i guess it makes sense to be the one that shows up?
