Tom: This single’s been out for a while now, but it’ll be getting a publicity push now as the new album’s being released soon.
And I’m fairly sure that Ke$ha has just turned into a parody of herself.
Tom: I mean, if some high-budget YouTube channel made that video as a Ke$ha parody, it’d go down pretty well. But no, that’s actually her. All of which would be laughable if the damn song wasn’t so catchy.
Tim: It is catchy. It’s not a song I particularly want to catch, but it’s one that once you’ve been exposed it’s just…there. A sort of musical norovirus, really.
Tom: Wow. That’s a metaphor for the ages, there. But I don’t know what I was expecting from Ke$ha: a new lyrical direction? Hardly. A change into darker, more grown-up themes? Nah. Dubstep? Well, possibly. But no: we’ve got more of the same, and you know what? I’ve got no problem with that at all.
Tim: No – the verses are boring, the chorus really is quite good. The days off work, compared to the verses’ vomiting.
Tom: That said, if any of those folks in animal suits get near me, I’m running away as fast as I can.
Tim: Are you kidding? They’re AMAZING. Although I suppose I am speaking as someone who’s previously had a job dressing up as a whale, so I’m not entirely impartial.
Tom: You stay the hell away from me, whaley.
Tim: Er, the name’s Beebop, actually.
