"I'm Funny and I know it"

The older I get, the more I try to figure it out. What is the meaning of life, what is the fastest route to work, who the hell is on the radio and why am I listening to it? It first struck me odd that Madonna was at the Superbowl which was about as super as CSPAN, I caught the “coolest” thing since ice trays. They leave me LOLing while ROFLing and CRYing.

I'm sexy and I know it? When I first caught wind of this I was floored. Well actually, I heard it at the gym, so I wasn't that surprised, but then I heard it another day, and then somewhere else, and finally I heard it at school. So as the curious, fact finding, life saving, person that I am, I researched this bummer to get to the bottom of things.

First off, the texting language is as cute as the rabies vaccine, so naming your “band” as such really gives you a solid footing and a great place to write lyrical gems. Then you see the amazing talent in the faces of these high school sweethearts, Im not sure if they are related or just the product of ttwo consenting adults that are from Arkansas, but those two consenting first cousins must have been Carrot Top and Coolio. So It starts off very electronic and technoic which is great because like the people who listen to techno, it's only good when you feel ecstasy and the lights are off.

The lyrics to this jam are the result of some very deep emotional consideration and the combined education of an eight year old. These guys remind me of every Clerks movie in that if they get writers block, it's back to the fast food kitchen. It starts off with a solid look at that body, like some robot stalker at the mall food court. After a few reps to make sure you understand, they drop the kicker, I'm sexy and I know it. First off JT, how does one go from stalking to claiming how sexy you are, that's the cross between a lion and espn 2 late night. I can assure you, they are as sexy as athletes foot, but they have the confidence of tough actin tinactin, booyah.

Once you get through the fact this just happened, you are rewarded with a sweet e solo in which computers rock with noises that only a mother(board) could love (NICE). Once again, drugs are bad and most noises your computer makes are terrifying. Lets put it another way, recently, I have enjoyed the athletic centers so I can achieve six pack abs and find my summer body. For those who are also hitting the gym, you know that it is more essential than water to bring those headphones because if not, you have to listen to the cranked up emusic.

After a few rounds of this miserable pattern, the song ends a peace is restored. You can get back to the lyrical freedom that you do deserve. It's not that this “group” is so bad, they're terrible. They have a common thread with such classics as TATU, The Medic Droid, crystal castle, and how could I forget Britney. Yes, the GI Jane of the music world. She started out great, but the thing about people is that they almost always eventually come to their senses, and now Kathy Griffin has more cred. Same with the Cell phone Crusaders, but hurry up people, can we end this relationship? High school is over and there's a reason it only happens once. The popularity contest, the drama, and the obnoxious display of “creativity” (aka unappealingness) is done. Here's to an effective and positive future generation that can actually accomplish something.  You know who else is in the same Titanic as these balloon artists, the is_it_a Lady Gaga.
So what is it that creates the airplay for this? It's not a lyrical masterpiece nor an amazing display of instrumentals, I guess it's a little catchy in that it gets stuck in your hear like a tumor. But the Alphabet song is catchy, and that's off the Billboard list. The hot list at the billboards is definitely catching fire and hopefully will burn down the system and remove the arsonists that are modern day pop 'musicians.' Pop is depressing but Techno is the Prius of the music genres

  1. *EDIT*

    I heard it again abs just as I thought, the level of talent in and around this song is still nonexistant. How about the part where they say "wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle?" C'mon people, this isnt the soundrack for Barney, allegedly you are adults, act like it.
    How did they decide to go with the 5peat of wiggle? Why not four or six? In retrospect, 5 is an incredible digit, butit doesnt matter because the song is about ABAG (as bad as it gets)
