My opinion of this song: Pop music has a place in the world and fulfills a certain demand. Although it might not be the most well written, most complex song ever, it is VERY catchy. The chorus is very good stylistically, but the lyrics are lacking.

Come to think of it, other than the chorus the rest of the song is basically worthless.


***My roommate and I got quite a few laughs when I performed this acoustically while he improvised an interpretive tap dance at an open mic.

This music is so utterly terrible. And yet somehow.. I dunno- I like the sound of her voice. I heard this song a few times, but never looked into it. I'm just glad that this was only the 4th time I've heard it. I think that it would become unbearable after about twice more.
