Yeah I was down on this Blackpink initially - it's nothing new, really - but it's many catchy songs in one wore me down and I'm freely jamming to it now.

Blue Pedro melody = the theme from Blue Peter, right? I am confused that no one has mentioned this yet― rob, Monday, January 22, 2018 4:39 PM (one minute ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

The song is called 'Blue Pedro' (Blue Peter) and someone said it was a direct sample of the BP theme but I don't hear it. It's definitely in the same key as the Jolly Roger theme and done in a sea shanty style but it's not quite the same.

ah i really hope "girl front" makes it

xp I really like LOONA's 'Sonatine' (which wasn't nominated)
― Dan S, Monday, 22 January 2018 16:43 (six years ago) link
In light of Blue Pedro I'm slightly regretting not nominating Neil Cicierega's Wallspin mashup. It might have broken ILX

― nxd, Monday, 22 January 2018 16:45 (six years ago) link
thanks dl, as someone who knows what BP is but has never seen it, I wasn't sure to what extent this was like Chance the Rapper covering the Arthur theme (i.e., is childhood nostalgia a factor here or not)
― rob, Monday, 22 January 2018 16:46 (six years ago) link
And this is exactly why doubling points to non-spotify tracks would be a bad idea.
― MarkoP, Monday, 22 January 2018 16:46 (six years ago) link
I voted for 'Girl Front' but I just can't get with Red Velvet.
― emil.y, Monday, 22 January 2018 16:47 (six years ago) link
i'm fully expecting both to show up

just catching up
that avalon emerson video is gorgeous, great tune too
― marcos, Monday, 22 January 2018 16:53 (six years ago) link
despacito, eh, idk. it's fine. never really understood why it blew up as opposed any other catchy reggaeton tune
that was partly due to the bieber remix wasn't it
― ufo, Monday, 22 January 2018 16:54 (six years ago) link
the very utterance of his name has cleared the room

Blue Pedro sounds like something a trying too hard high school music teacher would play in class.

great song

another good video too!

this is the point in proceedings where I'd usually say something a little impetuous

thank god you haven't
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Monday, 22 January 2018 17:19 (six years ago) link
Ironically, song is actually forgettable.

But it was someone's #1, so I'm not gonna rag on it too hard.
mine! can't understand anyone being ambivalent or hateful towards it
― gospodin simmel, Monday, 22 January 2018 17:26 (six years ago) link
i voted for one song w/ french montana on it and this is not that
― faust apes (NickB), Monday, 22 January 2018 17:27 (six years ago) link
Ambivalent, but not hateful. Beat, melody, flow feels very plug-n-play for 2017.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 22 January 2018 17:28 (six years ago) link
Blissful song, mellow and sweet
― abcfsk, Monday, 22 January 2018 17:28 (six years ago) link
Video helps too yeah
Video definitely raises it a level above.

every swae lee hook i heard in 2017 transformed the song it appeared on

Xp. It has a very nice groove though. Is that a new dance? So physical.

Every year a couple of big American radio hits don't get played down here, and "Unforgettable" is one.

ilm confession: i don't think i've ever really listened to these guys before but this is decent. sounds kind of like phil ochs singing a prefab sprout song
― faust apes (NickB), Monday, 22 January 2018 17:37 (six years ago) link
Darniele would be flattered
― morning wood truancy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 22 January 2018 17:38 (six years ago) link
Didn't vote for it but pleased to see it. DJP did some arrangements for this album, right?
― emil.y, Monday, 22 January 2018 17:39 (six years ago) link
At least you didn't compare them to They Might Be Giants.
― MarkoP, Monday, 22 January 2018 17:39 (six years ago) link
Still convinced if there were no ILX connection, they would not be so popular here.
― Salt Lake City Motorcycle Accident Nerve Damage Lawyer (_Rudipherous_), Monday, 22 January 2018 17:40 (six years ago) link
yeah but do you like it?
― morning wood truancy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 22 January 2018 17:40 (six years ago) link
FW I wasn't wild about the album as a whole but this is one of his best songs
