> > I love that song. hehe. I know that song drives people nuts, but I can't help but love it. I think I like it because it is so random. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but it sounds good to me. And the group is LFO, by the way, although I have no idea what that stands for. Then again, I really don't care. It reminds me of all the pop songs that are out now. You kind of have to take them at face value. No analyzing allowed. Know what I mean?

I despise that song for a variety of reasons - first, musically, it means nothing. It's basically a bunch of guys speaking - not even singing, mind you - to a rhythm machine. Additionally, the lyrics are completely meaningless, seem like an Abercrombie and Fitch advertisement (see "selling out," above), and are apparently attempting to cash in on the success of the Barenaked Ladies' "One Week" (which has similarly random lyrics, but doesn't read like a shill and makes some musical sense). On top of that, the video is hideous. And the song is bloody frickin' *everywhere!*
