I should say that I'm sensitive about this because more than once after being seen dancing a little I'll hear "underrated aerosmith seemed to be making fun of the entrance music by dancing funny to it" and I'll be like "hey fuck you that is how I dance you fuckin assholes"

i'm with some dude. jokey/ironic dancing is a lot of fun. anybody who's ever attempted to dance like bryan ferry in the "same old scene" video, or like a dude from the detroit new dance show, or like a dude in a jam and lewis video, knows what i mean

I better be careful not to smile or laugh or somewhat jokingly attempt a move I can't quite pull off next I'm dancing, someone from this thread might be there and murder me or something

There's a difference between trying something and laughing because you feel goofy, and being an ironic ass just to get attention. Like I said this was mostly in college, I don't notice it much anymore when I go out. Mostly because I avoid frat boy hangouts.

Oh how I long for the days when "Time of Your Life" was the ubiquitous one.

ditto "Here's to the Night"
the word "encroaching" being in this thread title still cracks me up

"boom boom pow" is also still a hundred times better than this song

My pet peeve is indie-ish songwriters messing up a cover by making fun of it, coming from the angle that what they're covering is a shitty piece of craftsmanship when it's actually as carefully put together as anything in their own catalog.
― reggae night staple center (Eazy), Wednesday, 7 September 2011 15:59 (twelve years ago) link
actually I think that's great because it usually exposes the indie-ish songwriters for the talent-lite hacks most of them are

Never having had any desire to check out Jeff Tweedy, this will ensure that turns into a lifelong trend.

so this didn't end up becoming that ubiquitous, did it? haven't heard it on the radio in ages, and i listen a lot.
― dyl, Thursday, 19 September 2013 05:07 (ten years ago) link
it felt p ubiquitous to me the year it came out, but that was largely because at the time i had cokehead downstairs neighbors who would come home at 3 in the morning and blast it; their stereo was apparently set up against a wall directly under my bedroom, and the sound would travel up through the floor, through my mattress, and into my pillow. it was actually louder if i was lying down.

I don't think I've heard this song in a couple years.

ubiquitous pop songs always drop off the radar in the subsequent year or two. in this case i'm very glad of that. doubtless it'll eventually return as a staple though, sigh
― lex pretend, Thursday, 19 September 2013 08:09 (ten years ago) link
yeah this turned out not to really have staying power. especially compared to, like, "Single Ladies," which came out about 6 months earlier.
― Jean-Claude Brand Ambassador (some dude), Thursday, 19 September 2013 11:17 (ten years ago) link
i feel like it's remained really influential on pop music, though. there's still at least a few "I Gotta Feeling" soundalike major label singles every year, and I feel like it kicked off the whole wave of 'wistful party song' type hits like "We Can't Stop."

Sorry, what's wistful about I Gotta Feeling?

Congratulations! I genuinely miss the days of ubiquitous Black Eyed Peas. Just learned that they went back to their roots two years ago and made a political rap album, accompanied by a sci-fi Marvel comic about the crack epidemic?

Ritmo (Bad Boys for life)" by The Black Eyed Peas with J Balvin is #1 on Billboard's Hot Latin chart. Eh, not that impressive. Not good.

Holy crap, my kids and I were cracking up playing this in the car just last week. One didn't believe me that a singer actually says "l'chaim!" My theory is they wrote this *specifically* for bar and bat mitzvahs, after spending time in Hollywood and hearing about all the big paychecks peers had been getting for private performances.
