After Tik Tok, which was fun and entertaining, this is a real step backwards it just sounds immature and 3oh!3's bit is rubbish.
2 stars at best.

It´s mind-boggling! I mean the way they´ve managed to cut the composer (ask an older relative) out of the music making process these days. All that is required to make hits is a lovely machine that makes bleeping noises and marching rhythm patterns. It´s such a relief! Meddling tunesmiths are the last thing we need when we can have lots of "words" and random sounds to catch our attention. There. I´ve snapped. Can I have my TiK TaKs bak now?

Don't mean to be anal (no hidden meaning implied) Fraser but I noticed that you've given Ke$ha the nickname of Keesh. You do know her name is pronounced Kesh (as in rhymes with mesh) a rather than how you've pronounced it: Keesha!

That's two out of two hits that you've made reference to "Jack" (I'm guessing the whisky...?). Doesn't have the same flare second time round.

Oh God. Got some friends obsessed with this track. Every now and then they just burst into "WOT TATATATACHA TALIN' BOUT?!? BLAH BLAH BLAH" or whatever it is. God it's awful isn't it?

I loved Tik Tok. Infact I'd probably like this song if it wasn't for the "hook". It makes me want to vomit on her face, forget the closet.

The 3OH3! bit is completely pointless. It simply adds weight to the title. They are pretty much in the same genre as her. Silly pop about the opposite sex with sounds and some electronic bits thrown in if you're lucky, but more likely inane noises like wolf whistles.

I'm all for the girls being able to write songs about the opposite sex etc, but it's just that corus. Argh. TATATATATA TALKIN BOUT!! BLAH BLAH BLAH.

Yes, it´s sooo bad. And already in the Itunes top 10, naturally. What´s wrong with people?

OH NOOOO! She´s at number 4 on itunes today. And Timbaland´s taken over the number 2 spot from Jed. I honestly don´t know what´s going on.

Is there a whole new generation that rules the market all of a sudden? Thousands of 8-year-olds downloading anything bleepy and shouty they can get their sweaty hands on? In that case there´s just no hope...

Can someone say something comforting?

Anything?

Paolo has the number 1 album. This is comforting.

...to mums across the land.

Hey Curtains, hope you´ve seen that Fraser handed you the gold watch on the Jed thread, and it didn´t seem cheap either!

I agree Liam, Paolo´s success is comforting in the light of things.

But I´m not really an albums type, and it´s the singles situation I worry about. Maybe I shouldn´t, and just leave the top 40 to the kids. BUT I CAN´T! IT HURTS!

Paolo isnt just for Mums, shurrup. Infact, mine doesn't like him! He's effing brilliant.

George Formby for instance: his songs include:

With my Little stick of blackpool rock
With my little ukelele in my hand
When I'm cleaning windows
The wash house at the back (don't ask.)

I could go on, but I think I need a bath.

Liam, if I had friends that liked this song, I wouldn't have friends that liked this song.

best song from the album is stephen, dinosaur makes me laugh, this record will be at least in the top 5. if it isn't already.

I think TiK ToK was an electropop master-piece, a really unique act looked likely to storm the charts over the following year... but this song is awful, and the fact that its just immature and the constant use of vocoder makes you wonder whether Ke$ha really has any vocal talent.

I'm lucky though, I've seen her live and she's actually quite good, so I find it confusing as to why she feels the need to put that horrible squeak on every note she sings.

1 star from me: the second single should've been Party At A Rich Dude's House.

It was a very nice idea! Just wanna say thank you for the information you have shared. Just continue writing this kind of post. I will be your loyal reader.[Unsuitable/Broken URL removed by Moderator]

can we all write like that from now on please, including Fraser...

Thanks to is Jonesy, just continue writing this kind of post!

Thranjax , I will be your loyal reader. xxx

When I said that this was Kesha's next single , way back on the Tik Tok thread , I stated that it wasn't one of the better tracks on the album .

My choice for next single was Party At A Rich Dude's House .

However , there is no denying the power of Blah , Blah , Blah as a commercial proposition .
The 3OH!3 effect , and the fact that this song sounds so 2010 , and so in yer face and stands out on the radio .
Thousands of people are gonna love this song, thousands will hate it !
It's a marmite track.

Huge !

I really dislike BLAH BLAH BLAH. I wanna see her release Your Love Is My Drug which is rumoured to be the third single from ANIMAL.

Only problem with Your Love Is My Drug is that it sounds a lot like Tik Tok

From a chart point of view, that isn't a problem. The theory of this is that when a song is a hit, the artist tries to permanently maintain the presence of the song in people's consciousness by releasing one or two similar songs. I vaguely remember studying this sort of thing at Uni. Long long ago.

Scouting For Girls must be familiar with this theory

There is also, of course, a law of diminishing returns. Too many similar songs and you're stuffed. Scouting for Girls must be familiar with this theory.

Maybe they should read what you've just said Thranjax, their new song sounds just like the rest and I doubt the trick will work again.

Yeah , it isn't like the first Scouting For Girls album sold over 1 million copies is it ?

Oh hold on . . .

"It's not about you..." Is an absolutely fantastic song. Simply brilliant. It was the first Scoting for Girls song I heard and I instantly fell in love. It was before they got big (not trying to sound cool, there's nothing cool about loving SFG let's be honest) on the Scott Mills show or something.

Every track they have done since hasn't been as good and sounds the same. But that song is brilliant. Because it is brilliant, I quite like most of their other stuff. Because it sounds similar!

I'm not a musician. but apparently it is literally the same arrangement etc for nearly every track.

I totally disagree with you guys. I love this song! and 3OH!3's BIT IS NOT POINTLESS! As u do no that they helped write this song lol. u should really do more research before judging a song and so what if the lyrics are not great or anything that meaningful or amazin who even cares? people can sing and listen to what they want, u cant deny thats it's catchy. but i agree that she should realease party at a rich dude's house. love that song

'Party At A Rich Dude's House' should've been the second single imo. As is the opinion of most people posting here.
