    I think we know how this goes, 3/10

    This follow video has exploded in popularity this week almost entirely off of its reputation as the worst song ever. It went from 3000 to 7 million views in 5 days and has cracked the top 100 on itunes...

    Oh, I think they did.

    There was an item in Viz magazine's Top Tips column at the time which read:

    Big Country fans! Save yourself the cost of Big Country's new album by buying the single and playing it nine times!

    I'm procreative as all get-out, but she is enough to make me wonder whether you might not be on to something, lifeorientationchoicewise.

    The fundamentalist wouldn't be concerned about our secret agenda if it wasn't so enticing, would they?

    @Wagner, I have this thing against Overtures, but I'll give it 7/10.

    What? The lyrics stunning in their depth of feeling. Quit hatin', ya'll. She's a darling girl and deserves her moment in the spotlight. And I must say that her use of auto tune is quite simply masterful.

    I'm from the states, too, MarkBastable, and as such am also banned from listening to the next song. Rats.

    Ben Folds gets 7/10 for being nearly as inventive a Elvis Costello, and it's an okay rompy tune - doesn't jar like it easily could have

    It seemed like it was just odd for the sake of being odd. 5/10

    I like that kind of music..reminds me of Cohen's films so a 10/10

    (don't mind the video)
    There's definitely something in the water in that part of the world since it has produced some of my all time favorite bands

    I'm so glad this thread is going again. Was about to bump it.

    As to the above song. Liked it up until the talking started. Really created a great mood, but that talking just took it down a notch. Still, there wasn't a ton of it, so 5.5/10.

    Renaissance meets rock'n'roll.
