This morning we were travelling to work and a song came on the radio. I drifted off into my own thoughts for a few moments and hoped when I came back into the car the song would have gone away. Alas, I was still in musical hell.
Now, normally I like BEP as much as the next person. They've had some catchy little pop numbers in their time. They seem to reinvent the charts when they release a new album, brand new sounds for people to copy and fall into.
That's all marvellous. What isn't however is '
The Time (Dirty bit)'.
This latest offering can only be described as danger to my ears. It seems to be Black Eyed Peas do Dirty Dancing (that would be acceptable enough if they weren't singing at the same time).
I'm not a 'girly girl' but I feel I should point out Dirty Dancing holds a special place in every girl's heart. We all fell in love with the awesomeness of Swayze. We all wished we were dancing in that final scene. We all imagined, one day, our boyfriend would storm into a rubbish party we were at and say "No one puts baby in the corner" and then sweep us away into the night *swoon*.
What we didn't imagine was that one day, some very ill informed pop stars would auto-tune the frigg out of the title track, release it and make our ears bleed.
There are some things that you just don't do. Covering any dirty dancing songs (with the except of hungry eyes - don't ask me, thems the rules) is bad bad bad news.
