Never said I didn't like it lol Not that I think it's good, but it's not that bad either. The song is catchy. I was just surprised with how much she changed.
This is an example of a song that is catchy/radio friendly and easy to digest. It's also successfully parodying the materialistic attitude in rap songs to some extent. Grey's song, no matter how "catchy" it is is still pure shit imo. [video=youtube;QK8mJJJvaes]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QK8mJJJvaes[/video]
The fact that this isn't the real her is what makes the parody even weirder IMO. You have Holly Brook acting overtly sexualized in a video and it just doesn't look right.
I don't get why people keep saying it's "catchy", it isn't. Thing's that are so stupid the entire time they're playing you're thinking to yourself "Wow, what the shit, seriously?" aren't catchy. It's trying to be, yeah. It's trying it's ass off, but it's not. Trying as hard as it is is actually making it substantially less so.
Also notice how she's been dropping f-bombs in most of her recent interviews, something she never did before. All of it is carefully constructed to push her new image as this carefree/obnoxious/borderline-slutpop artist. Such a shame.
I was also kinda confused when I heard this at first, but I actually like it, just because I think it's fun! And I still have hopes for the album, as I have really enjoyed her other (more "serious") songs, like "Invisible" and "Building a monster"... But that's just my opinion!

The fact that I have the melody stuck in my head after only 1 or 2 listen, and that even if I'm not a fan of the song, makes me think it's catchy.
It's more.. how can I put this. Ok, remember Rebecca Black? "Friday Friday"? Well, that was notoriously bad because it was a poorly written song trying very hard to make itself an earworm. Nobody had it as a fun little diddy stuck in their head because it was a solid tune or particularly clever piece of music, but because it oozed "This is a catchy song! It's fun and happy and you in turn will recognize it as such because this is the pattern and sound catchy songs have!". It was more preoccupied with pitching itself as a catchy song as opposed to actually being that. I guess what the point of that ramble is that when it's this obvious it's trying to be "one of those" songs, it loses all veneer of actually being one, and instead looks like what it actually is; a cheap, lazy, stupid gimmick.
