Now I’m just inviting the ridicule in, but what can I say? I’m a sucker for a delicious candy-coated pop song. I’m hoping you share a similar sweet tooth, and ultimately our cavity-inducing closet obsessions will endear us together.
Passion Pit – The Reeling (Bubblegum ScFi Remix) ♥♥♥
PP quickly escalated from interesting to hate-to-love annoying. It’s a true testament to the state of music when a band can produce such a catchy, critically-acclaimed album and then absolutely FAIL in every live performance. Maybe rule of thumb should be: If you created your album on Garage Band, don’t book yourself into major music festivals.
Lil Wayne sure thought this JJ track was bangin’ enough to sample for the commercially successful (if not morally bankrupt) Carter III single “Lollipop.” As much as I appreciate Weezy, the original is 10x superior in this case.
Any song that successfully samples Darth Vader’s thematic “Imperial March” is pretty much golden. Not to mention how much these circa ’97 one-hit-wonders remind me of Gorillaz on pop overdose.
Das Racist – Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell (Wallpaper Remix) ♥
Everything you need to know about this hilarious remix is in the title.
Survivor – Eye of the Tiger (BuzzTech 2010 Remix)
If you were one of the 12 Survivor fans who weren’t content with the group being solely the soundtrack to Rocky/epic karaoke material, this song is for you. Now they can add dance hitmakers to a dwindling list of achievements. Although technically, the credit belongs to BuzzTech.
DJ Earworm – United State of Pop (Blame it on the Pop) [2009 Mashup] (Video w/Free Download Link)
An impressive mash of last year’s biggest mainstream hits. For most of these artists, it’s the only 4 seconds they’ll ever see on my iPod. At the very least it’s brought to my attention just how important the word “Down” was to pop singles last year…
lydiaaaaa….whered ya go?
lyyydddiiiaaaaa, whered ya go??
