I've come to warn you all of the terror that awaits modern music.

This horror, this dread... I speak of it only to inform of its unfathomable evil...

Party Rocking lurks under the surface of hit radio, waiting to cause people to be arrested by the urge to shuffle, non-stop, until every day, they're shufflin'... not only this, but these words will never leave, THEY WILL NEVER LEAVE...

PARTY ROCKIN' IN THE HOUSE TONIGHT

EVERYBODY'S GONNA HAVE A GOOD TIME

IT'S GONNA MAKE YA LOSE YOUR MIND

EVERYBODY'S GONNA HAVE A GOOD TIME

Be warned, friends, for the Party Rockalypse is at hand, and LMFAO represents only Two of the Four Horsemen. Who the other two horsemen are, I cannot say at this moment. But one thing is certain. Party Rocking, friends don't let friends do it. Because once you start, you don't stop. Every day... I'M SHUFFLING...

NOOOOOOO!

I planned a ytmnd with that song, but I couldn't get it to work.

If you don't like a single Frank Ocean song, you have no soul.

Oh cool, someone watched a Todd video and decided it was worthy of a thread on TV Tropes. tongue

[up][up]I'll bet Todd told him to do it. You know how he can be like that at times.

Is this serious?

I'd like to believe not, but I've met far, far too many people who would be entirely serious in posting this to actually think that.

Go back to /mu/ if you're going to be like that.

I love that man. He says exactly what I'm thinking, but out loud. On film. With marginally more tact.

As someone who has managed to avoid even the most (allegedly) ubiquitous popsters of the moment (most notably Lady Gaga) up to this point and knows that there's not much to be missed in the subdivision of the contemporary music landscape where LMFAO reside, I don't go anywhere near top-40 radio without Todd in the Shadows as company.

Funny thing is how that song isn't party rock. At all.

Learn from the master.

They played that song constantly at the end of school party. I got tired of it fast.

Seeing all these piss ant tropers trying to talk tough makes me laugh. If Matrix were here, he'd laugh too.

My best friend is actually quite obsessed with this song. And LMFAO's song with Lil Jon that goes like this:

“Shots, shots, shots, shots shots
Shots, shots, shots, shots shots
Shots, shots, shots, shots shots
Shots, shots, shots, shots shots”

The only LFMAO thing I've heard is his collaboration with The Crystal Method from their album Divided By Night. It was enough to convince me that I never want to hear anything else by him, ever.

Their, you mean. LMFAO is a duo. And they're related to the guy who founded Motown, I believe.

Party Rock Anthem is a fun-ish song, would work better without the completely unnecessary rap verses. Really, it's more about the beat and chanting chorus, and should really be credited to the producer, not the no-talent duo.

Also, isn't the whole aesthetic a bit close to New Rave that tried to take off in the UK a few years back? And Crunk Core? I don't really like neon coloured clothes, but it's harmless enough, I don't have to pay attention to any of it.

I will say this. I both love and hate the line "No Led in our Zeppelin." That line just turns brings lyrics into So Bad, It's Good territory. *

But let's face it, we don't need good lyrics in our dance songs. To quote Andre 3000, "Y'all don't wanna hear me, you just wanna dance."

It'd be nice if any effort was put in. Since the OP is such a fan of Todd in the Shadows, let's take Usher's "DJ Got Us Fallin' in Love". Usher's lyrics aren't groundbreaking, but they do a decent job of conveying the club as a refuge from the drudgery of your empty life. Replace Pitbull with a much more capable rapper working with that concept and you'd have an excellent dance song that is not only relevant to the club scene, but also substantive to those wishing for songs with meaning.

My only LMFAO song until now was "I Am Not A Whore". It left me very confused.

just bugs me When people hold dance music to lower standards than other kinds of music.

Also just bugs me Why does Skrillex keep recycling the same samples? OH MY GOD!!! YOU CAN EAT SHIT AND FUCKING DIE!!!!
