Hey! Hey! You! You!

[paulhackett]

or f) not a snob?

Oh no.. for what it is it's fantastic, but just sat at work, in stone cold sobriety, it's not really working for me.. i've definitely not been young, in love or on drugs in the past 5 minutes, it's just not hitting the mood!

 

[Negativland]

Yeah it's great, as far as I remember the older singles are all earnest and angsty (?). The video is hilarious because it seems like they wanted the old girlfriend to be preppy and popular, but for some reason she's typed up more as geeky, so it's even more bitchy and malicious than expected. Of course she does it far better than the Pussycat Dolls.

 

[bluestreak]

hmm, listen number one... it does sound like shampoo. it's ok, would like to hear a nice remix of it to take the pop sensibilities off. i'll listen again in a few minutes. the video makes me feel like a paedononce though.

It's well better than all the other crap the local radio serves up (see "Little Star")!

 

[Meltingpot]

Did anyone else think "Out of my cloud" when they saw the thread title?

 

[Looby]

Embarrassingly I knew exactly what it was about.

 

[Strumpet]

Bah, you're all, like, so whatever

But Dub, you can do so much better....

 

[bluestreak]

my decision: it's not bad. has some charm. will downlaod it!

 

[sleaterkinney]

The lyrics are good, but it's got a nasty fm rock backing.

The Kelis tune? That's fucking superb

 

[free spirit]

I quite like it.. it's very 'Hey Mickey'

yeah I thought that then just as I was thinking it this line came up..

You're so fine
I want you mine

surely a little nod to hey mickey?

I like it btw

wondering if i could get way with mixing it into a breaks set on friday... might get slaughtered if i did though, what do we all reckon?

 

[red rose]

Wrong thread

 

[Julie]

Did anyone else think "Out of my cloud" when they saw the thread title?

Yep.

 

[gentlegreen]

Was it the sk8r image that was ironic, or is the cheerleader ?

And saying she looks like Catherine out of CSI, is wrong on so many levels.

 

[Flashman]

The Kelis tune? That's fucking superb

It is.

I like this Avril one too, I also liked Complicated (fuck me that was five years ago already).

Chill out whatcha yelling' for?
Lay back it's all been done before

 

[souljacker]

I like the Kellis tune as well. Certainly better than this tosh. But then I'm hardly the demographic they're aiming for.

She's been sexed up a bit though hasn't she? She was a miserable looking cow when she was around last time.

 

[LDR]

I hear it's DJ Tab's tune of the year.

 

[Barking_Mad]

bubblegum music.

 

[gentlegreen]

bubblegum music.

But I suspect it's tongue-in-cheek.

Avril Lavigne strikes me as the kind of person I would absolutely loathe if I met her socially - cold, bitchy and aloof. I really dislike the song, not because I think it's musically terrible (though it's certainly not to my taste), but because it's a complete bitch-fest.

 

[Dubversion]

but because it's a complete bitch-fest.

which is why it's funny.

 

[Spandex]

The video is like an ode to bullying.

Nerdy girl has quite a sweet teenage relationship with a pretty but dim boy. Popular Avril, who appears to lead a Heathers style gang of cool kidz, conducts a relentless campaign of bullying and intimidation against nerdy girl. Avril's campaign of evil suceeds and she ends up doing who-knows-what in a toilet cubical with pretty but dim boy.

I bet she gets bored of him and dumps him real soon.

It's like the opposite of all those nerds-win-in the-end US highschool films from the 80s

[Neva]

Why did you inflict that on me Dubversion

 

[The_Reverend_M]

I got through about a minute and a half of it - sounds like Toni Basil - it's shit

Agreed.

 

[The_Reverend_M]

the video makes me feel like a paedononce though.

No change there then

 

[bluestreak]

No change there then

git.

 

[Pieface]

I like it too !

I like this and I liked Sk8er Boi

I don't know anything else she's done and since there's about 6 years between those 2 songs I don't think I want to.

Thankyou.

 

[milesy]

i don't like it.

it sounds too much like that pop-punk-lite-"hey-these-kids-are-alternative" type music that appears in (seemingly) all modern american-highschool-chick-teen-rom-com-o-rama type movies.

i don't like it.
