Keane is like an NFL running back who has three and a half great seasons, then gets a knee injury, tries to come back the following year and just doesn’t have the same speed or ability to cut anymore.
He bounces around a couple of teams, clinging to a roster spot as a backup, then ends up out of the league selling mattresses or something. You just hope he was smart with his money during his heyday.
Closing out my latest dip into the mucky waters of Billboard’s Hot 100, I arrive at a song that features Jeremih singing that he wants to “take shots with somebody” to the tune of Whitney Houston’s ‘I Wanna Dance With Somebody.’
I don’t know if the performers grasp the irony of glorifying hard partying using a song whose famous singer died after prolonged substance abuse.
Sadly, the song at #14 on Billboard’ Hot 100 is yet another rap track objectifying women.
When will it get old for rappers to wax eloquent about how much money and how many women they have? Or — better questions — when will people stop buying this crap and force the performers to try something else for a change?
In the 13th spot on Billboard’s Hot 100 this week is this collection of random letters: ‘G.D.F.R.’ by Flo Rida, featuring Sage the Gemini and Lookas.
The title, based on the illuminating lyrics below, stands for “going down for real.” Sage the Gemini and Flo Rida trade verses, but I see no mention of Lookas, not do I know what a Lookas is.
Indeed, Lookas appears to be the one working musical artist without a Wikipedia entry. I did find a Soundcloud page full of tracks he remixed, and apparently one of his remixed samples appears on this song, hence the credit.
At #12 on Billboard’s Hot 100 is Tove Lo’s ‘Talking Body.’
My wife recently leads a new car and got the requisite three free months of Sirius/XM service. On family trips, we cycle through a series of stations, with my wife and I favoring the ’80s on 8′ and our daughters pushing for ‘Hits 1.’
Lately, the song that turns up on ‘Hits 1’ more than any other is Tove Lo’s ‘Talking Body.’ And for some reason we always turn it off immediately while shaking our heads that it comes up so often.
