Shake it?


A few days ago, I heard this song called Shake It by Metro sexua- I mean Metro Station. I've realised this song has become very popular. I have to admit that the song is fun. It gets in your head, but the bad rocker imitation by the so called band sets me off. This pop song sounds like every other pop song I hear on the radio and because of the lack of musical talent I think it will be a while until those kind of songs stop being made. I play guitar, and I am probably twice as good as the "guitarist" in the "band", I think anyone with fingers and arms can play his part. Its like two chords (guitar talk), and its like the same thing over and over again. Im actually listening to it right now, and im not saying that there is nothing good about the song, its a fun, fast, and playful song. But it doesnt take anyone talented to think of and perform a song like that. I usually dont like pop so that also is part of the reason I dont like that song that much.

Yeah, I love that song. I don't have a problem with the guitar part though; it might be easy but the main part of the song is its fantastic beat and catchy lyrics. To be honest, it seems like the guitar doesn't even matter. That might be part of what I like about it; it's got lots of variety. Besides, sometimes power chords (as demonstrated in this song) are more fun than bar riffs (think bands like Matchbox Twenty, Jet, Skillet, or songs like My Last Breath [Ev], Fallen Through [SS], So Contagious [Acceptance], etc.) as long as you have good amps to back them up. Personally I think pop music's not, like, a work of genius, but it's great to laugh at and even better to dance to. Rock on!!

Also... I'm sure there's a REASON the band has that much popularity. I mean come on.
