So what have we had so far? Ash, 3OH!3, 1990s and Hockey. Well, again, something verrrry different. I read somewhere that this was number one in the US. What that actually means with regards to the 27 different charts I have no idea, but you guys may well have heard this song. It's Tik Tok by Ke$ha There are a number of reasons I should loathe this song. 1. The girl has a fucking $ in her name. 2. The use of grating rap slang like "nerbody, crunk, swagger" etc. 3. She uses auto-tune. But, on the plus side, there are reasons why I love it. 1. Ke$ha is delicious. 2. She openly smashes the nice girl routine usually found on pop singles, talking about brushing her "teeth with a bottle of Jack". 3. She talks about liking guys if they look like Mick Jagger. 4. She actually wrote it. Well... co-wrote it. Good enough these days. 5. It's named after the character from Return to Oz. 6. Oh yeah - It's fucking ACE. www.youtube.com/watch?v=910ZFGkhuQ0Fun pop music with a snotty attitude - bring it on. |

Co-writing a song gets no love when it's that fucking cliche. Paint-by-numbers bullshit. It could be a Fergie song. Fergie's hotter too. Holy shit, auto-tuning is even worse when they randomly turn it on and off. I am so through with popular music.

It's catchy, but for it to wind up on my mp3 player the lyrics would have to be more meaningful.

Yeah I had a funny feeling you wouldn't be a fan, Trashy. I actually love it the more I listen to it, and at the end of the track when she says "the party don't stop till I walk in" in that pouty, ridiculously sexy way I actually want to marry her. And you really think Fergie's hotter? I thought Fergie used to be pretty damn fine, but now she's beginning to look like Gill-Man. Dunno about you, but if I had a choice,  beats  any day. Kalt - I dunno, I think it works for what it is. There are far more vacuous, empty songs about the same sort of thing out there, at least it's given an injection of personality with talk about guys touching her junk and Mick Jagger and Jack Daniels and stuff. Makes it more believable anyway. |

Well I don't know, that girl is only Twelve right? She might look like Fergie once she grows up...

Ahem. She is NOT 12, Kalt - she's 22. How else would she get away with singing about being drunk and stuff without the slightest bit of controversy? The fact its aimed and written for under 16's is the questionable bit, I suppose.
Good call with the pic, Trashy, but.. I dunno, smoking hot as Fergie is there, I don't think I could remove the burning desire to separate her head from her shoulders with a spade. After sex, of course. And Kesha looks cute in that pic, man! She's like the sort of thing I used to prey on, I mean, check out at gigs. Fergie's beautiful in that unobtainable, icy perfection kinda way. Keisha's got that girl next door type thing going on. And I don't want to murder her. I'd pick the Tik Tok girl every time.

A lot of hatred for Fergie dissipated when I saw "Planet Terror".
Zombies ate her fucking brain! I can totally forgive her stupidity after knowing the reasoning behind it. Ke$ha has no excuses.

OK..... admittedly, that was pretty damn cool. I've not seen Planet Terror or Death Race yet. I really need to get around to it, but I'm still waiting out on the double bill DVD that we should all have.

For once, I'm glad I didn't wait. The Japanese got a crazy-deluxe Grindhouse box set with the theatrical double-bill cut AND both of the extnded editions PLUS a whole extra disc of bonus features. What are we, chopped liver?

YES. THAT is the version I'm talking about. I didn't know it existed in any country. I'll be all up on that. Is it expensive?

Holy shit, I'm having THAT.
And back on topic, I KNEW, I just KNEW I loved her for a reason..
Pop star Ke$Ha was so desperate to make it in the music industry - she broke into Prince's house to give him a demo tape.
The singer, who appeared on Flo Rida's track Right Round, sneaked into the Purple Rain hitmaker's Los Angeles property, but panicked when she heard the star rehearsing in the next room.
The 22 year old managed to leave her CD with Prince before she was found and escorted off the premises.
But she wishes she could have been arrested for the trespassing, because she would have liked to have had the daring stunt on her police record.
She says, "I did actually crawl under a fence to get into Prince's house. I paid the gardener five bucks to help me make it to the other side. Then I went waltzing up the purple driveway and found the door was unlocked. I got inside and totally freaked out, because there was Prince playing guitar in the other room.
"I called my mum and whispered, 'What do I do, I'm in Prince's house?' She was like, 'What do you mean?' I said, 'I snuck into his house.' She told me to give him my CD. So I did that. But he was in a band practice so we didn't get a chance to talk.
"I know I could have gone to jail but how amazing would that be if that was on my record? That would be the best thing to get arrested for in the entire world."
