What does mtv know about music anyway

Dead for Tax Reasons: What does mtv know about music anyway

Roughly as much as Pat Robertson does about morality

MTV in some other country, perhaps. Can't be this one.

MTV still plays songs?

Surprised it wasn't Gangnam Style. Should have been, IMO - it's gotten three times the traffic on Youtube and has been at #1 longer I think.

Plus, Hyuna > Carly Rae Jepsen

(though put them together and it makes for some nice imagery...)

Wow they totally got this wrong. The correct answer is Hot Problems .

say what you will about the song, i'd totally give her the most disappointing 30 seconds of her life.

Wait...the Stones and Aerosmith have albums come out...and THIS is song of the year?

chard: say what you will about the song, i'd totally give her the most disappointing 30 seconds of her life.

maybe a minute or two if her song was playing

She tags on 'maybe' so she doesn't come off as a total farking slut

chard: say what you will about the song, i'd totally give her the most disappointing 30 seconds of her life.

Whereas I, on the other hand, would give the the best 30 seconds of her life.

maybe the best song that MTV has played this year, but not the best song made this year.

What did TLC nominate for best song? Or how about A&E?

Well yeah, it's not 1980 anymore.

Best song of the year

She's cute and that song is like crack cocaine straight into my brain. I dunno why but I just love that goddamn song.

"MTV is to music what KFC is to chicken." - Lewis Black

They named this trailer trash best song of the year?

I suppose they also voted McDonalds best hamburger of the year?

Gah, beat me to it.

So we are judging music success by YouTube?

Jument: She's cute and that song is like crack cocaine straight into my brain. I dunno why but I just love that goddamn song.

Because it's a selected pattern that is highly predictable, and so your brain correctly predicts parts of it and responds to correct predictions by endorphin release, stimulating the same centers as cocaine.

Yes this is how it works. Repetitive predictable garbage = chart topper.

Sad tag loses out on a golden opportunity.

I thought Cookie Monster had the superior version.

/My kid loves Cookie Monster's version
//I do too

Don't hate the song. Don't really like it, but that's probably because it is so damn overplayed. Maybe in a few years I'll hear it again and have some affection for it.

It's a great metric. 900 million people can't be wrong, right?

Does MTV mean "Catchiest song of the year that makes you want to stick an ice pick in your ear because the song has been stuck in your head for days"?

chard: say what you will about the song, i'd totally give her the most disappointing 30 seconds of her life.

Ok, I totally thought she was still a teenager. She's actually 27...wow.

Pish posh! I just YouTubed that, and I think it sucks, big time. As far as I am concerned, any song sung by Messiah Marcolin when he was in Candlemass is song of the year, every year, forever.

/just ignore the dorky clothing and dancing in the "bewitched" vid

I appear to be the last person in the Solar System who hasn't heard this. And I'd prefer to keep it that way, kthx.

The song annoys me right down to my bone marrow, but there are compelling reasons to forgive it:

best song of the year for people who only listen to the top 40 station on their radio.

What the hell is wrong with her eyes? I wear a lot of black eyeliner and even my eyes don't look that small when I get it all on them. Dude, like, YUCK.

/has a thing about eyes

Better version by MC Chris.

Tasty Face.

Hey I just met you
And this is crazy
But I just did bath salts
And your face looks tasty

Be thankful (this time) you don't live in Canada, where the government mandates this song be played every 38 minutes on terrestrial radio. And Drake songs every 43.

/Thank you, CRTC and your Canadian content regulations.

This is the song that forced me to stop watching Jimmy Fallon. After he adopted it for his theme the night after having that twat on his show, I just quit.

I tried to give him another chance a month or so later and he sung it during the monologue.

I cannot fathom how The Roots put up w/ this idiocy. I know it's a paycheck, but I've lost a ton of respect for them too.

Have you even heard the song, subby? It should be: "Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy, but I'm song of the year, says MTV, maybe"

I have no idea why that bothered me so much. Or why I like this song. But it did, and I do.

It's very possible. There was a person last night on my FB that didn't know who Samuel L. Jackson is. These people are out there.

---------------------

I didn't think I had heard it either, until I was told I was hearing it and I realized I had already heard this pap 100x in stores and whatnot.

Slackfumasta: Surprised it wasn't Gangnam Style. Should have been, IMO - it's gotten three times the traffic on Youtube and has been at #1 longer I think.

A whole lot of that Youtube traffic has been people trying to learn the horsey dance that goes along with the song. At least 5,000 of those hits have come from my computers; every day for months when I came home from work there were teenagers in my basement practicing the damn thing.

That's why we chubby wenches totally RULE. You will never die of a femoral (sp?) artery incision if you're having "adult play time" with one of us. Our knees are definitely not sharp.

you know, a few years ago, I would have been unreasonably pissed about this...but as one gets older they realize that shiat like this really doesn't matter..it's a harmless little sugar pop song that makes people dance and be happy...so why be a dick about it? I'll never buy a Carly Rae Jepsen album, I'll never pay any money to see her perform, I won't seek her videos out on the internet (sex tapes not included)....in short, what farking difference does it make what mtv or anybody else chooses as their song of the day, week, month, year, decade, millenia....it's music, it's not life and death

Bravo.

Plus, I was shocked to hear she doesn't write her own songs. When did this trend start?!?
