Good for the Right Said Fred guys to get billed as co-writers, but I can't even hear the sample.
― ArchCarrier, Monday, 28 August 2017 16:38 (eight years ago)
Is it is sample or just an interpolation?
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 28 August 2017 16:38 (eight years ago)
As far as I can tell, it is solely the cadence of the chorus.

I'd never actually listened closely to "I'm Too Sexy" before. I just knew the hook. It's a lot better than I realized.

Taylor Swift's fanbase is definitely younger than Depeche Mode's fanbase ever was. Teens? it's preteens and little kids. The progress bar thing is so fucking gross, and the CD costing $63 is just abhorrent. She's arguably the biggest pop star in the world, this is not necessary. Everything about this album rollout is so tone deaf and hilariously offensive and out of step with reality. Also, I love "I'm Too Sexy" and the similarity here is soooooo tenuous, but w/e because Right Said Fred are cool and deserve $$$ from Ms. Swift.

the cd costs $15

But if you want to guarantee it arrives on the day it comes out you apparently have to pay an extra $45. Thanks UPS!

thread is a yelp review from a person that summed a restaurant's menu and exclaimed "It costs $368 to eat here!"
― you are juror number 144 and we will excuse you (Sufjan Grafton), Monday, 28 August 2017 17:11 (eight years ago)
More like "It costs $368 to eat here? But it's a McDonald's!"

"This place sucks, from the moment we walked in the door we were treated with disrespect. $50 just to get on the waiting list for a table? No thanks. We went across the street to Katy Perry's, which was having a kids eat free special."

this shit metaphor really gets gross when you consider that "bon appetit" exists

$10-12 if you can get your mom to drive you to Target that day.
― grawlix (unperson), Monday, 28 August 2017 17:23 (eight years ago)
I insist on buying it from Taylor's site, so that all the money goes directly to her.
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 28 August 2017 17:24 (eight years ago)
Actually, why would you buy it from Target, since you won't get any fan points for that? Sure, my mom might drive me there to buy it the first day it is on sale, but Taylor will not know how much of a fan I really am. Is there a place for me to send my receipt?
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 28 August 2017 17:28 (eight years ago)
it would be hard to replicate cereal box top and mail in rebate technology

sometimes taylor goes to target to buy her fans chipotle or whatever, maybe if you go to target she'll already be there and she will know how much of a fan you really are
― j., Monday, 28 August 2017 17:31 (eight years ago)
only hot dogs, starbucks, and pizza hut at target. can probably buy chipotle chiles en adobo at a super target, though.
― you are juror number 144 and we will excuse you (Sufjan Grafton), Monday, 28 August 2017 17:33 (eight years ago)
i don't think she would give them the burritos right there, that's absurd
she would give them a fifty or whatever
― j., Monday, 28 August 2017 17:34 (eight years ago)
it is a well known fact that people at target would like to eat chipotle
most targets attract a nearby chipotle village. it's true.
― you are juror number 144 and we will excuse you (Sufjan Grafton), Monday, 28 August 2017 17:38 (eight years ago)
I think the smartest thing to do would be to buy every copy of Taylor's CD at Target, and keep doing that every time they restock, and then all the other fake fans would be mad and Taylor's people will be like, whoa, why have we sold 2000 copies at this one Target? And then they'll call Target and they'll say this one guy keeps buying them all. And then they'll say, huh, this must be Taylor's biggest fan. And then they'll track me down and I'll show them my receipts and they'll say, yikes, this really *is* Taylor's biggest fan! And then they'll offer to let me buy a 10th row ticket for $1000. Suck it, haters.
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 28 August 2017 17:38 (eight years ago)
would love to be that guy instead of the guy street teaming a consequence of sound article

Plus, when Taylor's CDs get repurposed as a proprietary crypto currency, I'll be the only one (besides Taylor, of course) able to buy anything, from concert tickets to burritos to whatever. I call this "playing the long game."

you will be richer than her! why would she have any copies of her own cds

did you read the thread? ordering the CD from Swift's website costs $63. this is all related to the "progress bar."
― flappy bird, Monday, 28 August 2017 17:52 (eight years ago)
You're all losing so many points on your progress bars with these insulting posts.
― jmm, Monday, 28 August 2017 17:53 (eight years ago)
what the fuck is even happening
― you are juror number 144 and we will excuse you (Sufjan Grafton), Monday, 28 August 2017 17:53 (eight years ago)
The cd costs 15. The 48 on top of that is optional.
― Frederik B, Monday, 28 August 2017 17:54 (eight years ago)
Wait, do they check the language used in the posts? And is ilx-posts included? I want Taylor tickets for my trouble.
― Frederik B, Monday, 28 August 2017 17:55 (eight years ago)
pfft optional if you're bereft of devotion maybe
― j., Monday, 28 August 2017 17:56 (eight years ago)
exactly. paying the extra $48 is better for your progress bar. fucked
― flappy bird, Monday, 28 August 2017 17:58 (eight years ago)
I'm not sure that is true?

I am definitely outraged, btw, and I think the whole thing is disgusting. You can by the album 13 times for the progress bar, wtf? But I'm not sure the UPS surcharge helps the progress bar.
― Frederik B, Monday, 28 August 2017 18:12 (eight years ago)
when I gift the album to 12 nieces and nephews, it had better help my progress bar. you are welcome to just buy the album once or not at all.
― you are juror number 144 and we will excuse you (Sufjan Grafton), Monday, 28 August 2017 18:16 (eight years ago)
my bad, the insane surcharge does not directly benefit your progress bar. both are still supremely fucked

She could just send the cds earlier. You only get progress points for buying the album from the website, and then you have to pay fifty dollars to get it on release day. Come on, it's gross.
― Frederik B, Monday, 28 August 2017 18:46 (eight years ago)
you have to pay fifty dollars to guarantee its arrival on release day. this thread is gross.

it's cool how it's possible to be exhausted about something you don't even care about now
anyway, Taylor done fucked up and pissed off ANIME fans. My coworker says this is Yuri on Ice, an anime about an ice skater i guess and Taylor bit her style...damn g
