Two new singles out right now that just about share the same fairly unusual title, one serious, the other taking the piss. Virtually the same genre and fan base. Theres something fishy going on here.
I might be starting to sound like a broken record with my criticism of the unimaginative songwriting taking place in pop music as of late, but I don't care, someone needs to point out the parody-esque level the situation has reached.
All of the following songs were released in the past 2 years, experienced some level of success for the most part and feature the lyrics "put your hands up" or "put your hands in the air" somewhere in the pre-chorus or chorus. To make matters even worse, almost all of these songs will also feature other overused cliche lines such as "party all night", "party like a rockstar", "we be on the floor", "dj turn it up", "play the music loud", "tonight we're getting down" and more.
Seriously, if you have some time to kill and want a laugh, listen to the first minute of the following songs one after the other.
Taking a break from supporting The Black Eyed Peas in Melbourne, LMFAO will be doing an exclusive performance @ Hangtime this Thursday night.
Now to get you guys familiar with LMFAO, here's a few songs and videos to make you go "ohhh I know that joint". But first, here is LMFAO in one of their Down Under Daily videos:
LMFAO Ft Lil Jon - Shots
Cassie Ft Akon & LMFAO - Lets Get Crazy (Party Rock LMFAO Remix)
