Dig if you will this picture: Weeks-rancid margarine that’s been stuck in the microwave for 30 seconds, then left to reconstitute itself on whatever plate it’s been placed on, creating a shapeless, smelly mess that would need to be soaked in Dawn for at least three hours in order to be ridden from your kitchen. What would a song based on that image sound like, do you think? Lucky for us, two pop forces of now have decided to figure it out!
Electro-crap duo 3OH!3 and perpetual annoyance Katy Perry have tried to create their own answer to this burning question with their remix of the Denver-repping group’s “Starstrukk,” which is probably already in Clear Channel’s heaviest of rotations. (After all, it did get its premiere on The Blob That Ate Radio, a.k.a. Ryan Seacrest’s show.) On the bright side, whatever station has The Dukes Of Hazzard in its syndication archives is about to get a big boost from the latest song to admire the ass-flaunting style of its leading lady!
3OH!3 feat. Katy Perry – Starstrukk [ONTD]
Ugh, why does this chorus have to be so catchy?
This isn’t that big a deal, is it? It’s less catchy (but also maybe less annoying) than “don’t touch me,” and that song never hit #1.
Ok, wait, this is getting a little less terrible by the second. Still, I see no reason why this would be #1, but considering “gotta feeling” is tiring out anyway, there may be some room for something else. Better this than Miley.
@chachwitablog: Can’t we just not have either? :(
Yeah, but what do The Black Lips have to do with…oh, nevermind. That’s 3Oh!3.
@memento: Only in our dreams :-/
I am embarrassed that 3oh!3 hails from Colorado.
It amuses me to no end that a decent chunk of current pop seems to lean heavily on dance genres from the early part of the decade that were even considered somewhat of a joke at the time … or at least on elements of dance tracks that have been cliche for more than a decade.
This particularly track seems like it wouldn’t have been out of place in a hard house set (with the exception of the pop vocals) circa 2002.
