Rocco's Pop Revolution: Seen through the eyes of someone living it

Posts Tagged ‘Dr. Luke

I’m such an adult I can’t stand it. I pay rent … I “cook” my own meals and I’m not digging the new Britney Spears album, Femme Fatale.

Someone get me a calculator watch…. I’m doing my own taxes while I listen to Mumford & Sons.

(If that joke went over your head… you’re a teenager and while I appreciate that demographic reading this… get to school. You just missed 1st period)

 

I like to fist pump

 

Click HERE to listen to the clip of “How I Roll”…. and spoiler alert: it has a techno beat.

I just don’t get why EVERY song has to sound like this… we get it; people like to go to clubs and dance. This isn’t Europe… can we have something that doesn’t give me a migraine??

I can’t even justify spending money on this album… and that breaks my heart.

I’ll just have to replay …Baby, One More Time over and over… while I do  my taxes.

Wow… first Lee D. plagiarizing that great Twitter tale of Madmartigan and now Brit Brit. What am I going to do??

Apparently, Britney Spears’ new single “Hold It Against Me” rips off the Bellamy Brothers 1979 hit “If I Said You Had A Beautiful Body… Would You Hold It Against Me??”

I don't steal y'all

1) If that is the real title… that is way too long.

2) That is the worst pick up line ever. The songwriter is probably in jail for sexual harassment.

This is what one of the Bellamy brothers said:

“Hey, Brit, if I said you ripped off our song, would you hold it against me? If you listen to the lyrics of Britney Spears’ new single, you’ll find some major similarities… She’s a talented gal. But professionally, well, in all honesty, we feel completely ripped off. Where’s the originality?”

1) Don’t say gal

2) If you’re a Britney fan, at this point your just happy she has hair on her head… we aren’t asking for originality.

Let’s compare the songs:

I think the deciding factor is who would you rather have said that awful, cheesy pick up line to you???

Even the girls are saying Britney…. so go ride off into the sunset cowboys.

Awe shucks... no one cares about us anymore

“Hold It Against Me” is the new Britney Spears single and the demo leaked earlier today.

Obviously, that isn’t Brit Brit singing, but you get the idea of what it sounds like…. a song off the Jersey Shore soundtrack.

I don’t really like it… which surprises me because Max Martin and Dr. Luke were behind this. The techno/dance beat just gives me a headache and the chorus doesn’t have a very catchy melody. Plus, it sounds like Ke$ha is singing… and it sounds like something Ke$ha would throw glitter all over and get down with.

And, again it sounds like it would be a hit in a Guido filled New Jersey dance club, which is my worst nightmare (unless Pauly D is there. Duh.)

Ooooo Brit…. hope there is better things to come.

There are few things in life that I hold near and dear to my heart: my iPod, a silver rose ring, my Harry Potter books, my favorite silver bookmark, the Backstreet Boys, my hair straightener, and Britney Spears’ music.

And to hear the news of a new Brit album coming in 2011, is pretty much like quenching your thirst with some pink lemonade on a hot summer day.

One of the producers Britney has been working with, Dr. Luke, said he is co-producing the album with pop mastermind Max Martin (think “…Baby One More Time” and “I Want It That Way”) and some new music will be out in early 2011.

This better mean January 1st. It has been way too long with the absence of Britney Spears.

See you soon girl!
