Clappy vs Billboard Hot 100

It's best that you won't have the all to review another Jason DeRulo song. To make matters worse, Florida Georgia Line's "This is How we Roll," featuring Jason Derulo, is currently #15. On top of that, Jason Derulo's "Trumpets" has jumped from the Top 90 and into the Top 60 and might enter the Top 40 to follow suit with his other singles if the consumer base is not careful.

 

*3 months later*

 

And it looks like we weren't careful, not that it's a big deal since Trumpets is only at #33 right now. I'm still making the prediction that the popularity of that song is still fleeting though, and will just get higher. Still, not so much of a big deal.

I'll save that for another day.  I have bigger fish to fry.

 

 

"Don't Tell 'Em" - Jeremih (featuring YG)

 

Spoiler

 

Oh hey, it's this guy again.  The same guy that has brought us such masterpieces like:

 

 

AND

 

 

Yeah a quick history on Jeremih.  He sucks.  I have never been impressed by any of his songs and he is another one of those R&B artists who relies heavily on autotune to make up for the fact that he can't sing and has no distinct personality....except for I'm a douchebag who gets laid a lot.

 

Rhythm is a dancer, I need a companion

Girl, I guess that must be you

 

He guesses it must be you?  How flattering.

Body like the summer, fucking like no other

Don't you tell 'em what we do

 

Oh so she can't tell them that you are fucking, but Jeremih over here is allowed to brag his ass off about?  Double standards ahoy!

 

Girl, you know I'm from Chicago,

I act a fool Bobby Brown with it

 

...and here I thought Jay-Z had the award won for worst domestic violence reference in a hit 2014 song?  Congratulations Jeremih.

 

Marathon doll gon' puttin' miles

Don't you worry 'bout it might gon' work it out

 

Don't worry about putting on "miles" sexual conquest, Jeremih will work it out with hot sex...god I really hate this.  Guest rapper 234958, please save this song.  Who do we have this time?

 

 

This song is a joke.  Well YG...time to make an actual impression.

 

Throw it up 9-3-4, 8-6-1-6

I gotta missed call from your bitch

 

...Hey YG, if you are going to be clever and throw your digits into a song....PUT IN A FUCKING AREA CODE DIPSHIT.

She been plotting on me for a cool minute

She wanna' suck my dick, and I'm cool with it

I like her in the shower, when it's wet and fresh

 

Well that's gross.

It's that twitter pussy I met on the internet

On my late-night thirsty, 'cause it was late-night and I was thirsty

 

Rhyming thirsty...with thirsty...oh and that's a wonderful excuse to get some oral sex...god help me..

 

Girl, I been to that county girl, I ain't telling

Handcuff me to the bed, girl, it ain't no bailing

I keep a stack of hundreds like I keep a secret

If anything you were just exploring, you wasn't cheating

 

God, does anyone get the hint that if you brag about your sexual conquests in a song and tell the girl not to cheat, it sets up this atrocious double standard?

She got my number stored under fake names

Her nigga think she faithful, but she running game

YOLO, so take me out these Polos

And we can fuck from Uno to Ocho

 

Wow, the guest artist manages to out shit the actual artist.  This doesn't surprise me.

 

But no this song isn't terrible because of just Jeremih and YG, it's because of the production.  As much of a synth fan that I am, I'm absolutely sick of DJ Mustard.

 

DJ_Mustard_in_2013_2014-04-13_17-35.jpg

 

This guy has produced some of the most dull monotonous songs and the fact that he throws his name down in every fucking song he does has gotten real old real fast.

 

Overblown synth bass and light xylophone or piano melody seems to be the only thing this guy has to offer. He NEEDS to put his name on the intro of his tracks, so you know it's not just some generic, boring producer making an uncreative beat, it's specifically THIS generic boring producer making an uncreative beat.  This is the unique, trailblazing originator himself, THE ONE AND ONLY, EASILY reproducible sound that IS the product of DJ Mustard.

 

Good god I really hate this.  I apologize to Anaconda.  Sure it's an awful awful song, but out of all the ass anthems I've heard this year, it's not even close to being the worst.  This song deserves on my worst list more so than Anaconda does.  Not only is it atrocious, but you can honestly copy and paste this song, then throw in some DJ Mustard production work and you can get any I'm a douchebag that gets laid a lot song from this year.  Not only it's existence, but the fact that this reached the Top 10 this week is mindblowing.

 

Rhythm is a dancer, I need a companion

 

 

Well geez, I can't listen to Snap ever again without thinking of this shit.  Thanks a lot Jeremih.

THIS IS ON PAGE 2?  I'M GONNA SHAKE IT SHAKE IT, LIKE I'M SUPPOSE TO DO.

 

aboutthebass.gif

 

ERM...I'D RATHER NOT.

 

What I was referring to is another #1 Billboard charter.  I'm giving you all a fair warning.  This opinion will probably be considered unpopular since I know how many people are tired of....

 

THIS...

 

SICK...

 

BEAT....

 

 

 

"Shake It Off" - Taylor Swift

 

 

Spoiler

 

 

What?  How is this unpopular?  Everybody is sick of this song.  It's Taylor Swift making a total fool of herself.

 

No.  You are all wrong.  It's Taylor Swift being what she always was.  She is not a country artist, she has always been a pop artist disguised as a country artist.  This is not her selling out, she is selling in.  This is as pure pop as it can get.

 

I've made it clear in the past that I've always considered Taylor Swift a one trick pony.  Yes she writes songs about how she dates a lot of guys and breaks up with them.  But you know what?  I know I'm not the only one who complains about it.  Many people do.  She is just being a young woman and I know girls who go through guys faster than Taylor Swift does.  So if anyone gets too much hate, it's Taylor Swift.  She has every right to tell her haters (myself included) that she is going to shake them off.

 

And you know what?  I'm having fun with her telling us to shake it off.  Because she does it in such a grandiose fashion with what is easily her catchiest song to date.  This is what I Knew You Were Trouble and 22 were trying to be, but were not.  This feels a lot more pure pop than We Are Never Ever Ever Ever Getting Back Together.  I mean I'm willing to forgive this song for it's faults because I can at least tell Taylor Swift is having fun doing a song like this.

 

I stay out too late
Got nothing in my brain
That's what people say, mmm-mmm
That's what people say, mmm-mmm

 

Who tells you that you stay out too late?  Your parents?

 

I go on too many dates
But I can't make 'em stay
At least that's what people say, mmm-mmm
That's what people say, mmm-mmm

 

Well people do say that about you.

 

But you know what makes up for any faults?

 

I never miss a beat
I'm lightning on my feet
And that's what they don't see, mmm-mmm
that's what they don't see, mmm-mmm

I'm dancing on my own (dancing on my own)
I make the moves up as I go (moves up as I go)
And that's what they don't know, mmm-mmm
that's what they don't know, mmm-mmm

 

Hey haters....TAYLOR SWIFT IS TROLLING YOU BACK!

 

Yes, I am probably the only person who considers this song as Taylor trolling back the trolls.  She does everything she can possibly do to piss off these haters by feeding them.  I know the saying goes "Don't Feed the Trolls", but the fact that Taylor goes even far as to rap about her ex-man is just unintentional brilliance.

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DFMbLKEjaI

 

I mean I can't be the only one who forgot the sheer brilliance of Thug Story.  Maybe this is why I'm not as annoyed by Taylor Swift's rap verse in this.

 

I think the main reason I enjoy this though is because we all need our guilty pleasure pop songs.  Katy Perry use to be really good at this despite how flawed her songs are, but now Katy Perry is just making bad pop music (or at least just a bad album) that isn't as guilty pleasured.  We needed a song like this because dear god, the top of the charts have been just boring the fuck out of me these past few months.  2014 has just been a lagging year in general and the current Top 5 is a good example of why.

 

All About That Bass?  Overplayed to the point that I'm sick of it.

 

Black Widow?  Boring.

 

Bang Bang?  Unbelievably grandiose in how boring and meaningless it is.

 

Habits?  An ex can't be the only problem this girl has.

 

I mean is there anything out there that can help break this dry spell?  What's number 6?

 

 

HOW DID THIS GET EVEN MORE POPULAR SINCE MY REVIEW!?!?!?!?!

 

I think you guys get my point.  With the rest of the Top 5 being just plain boring as fuck, I'm glad we have Taylor Swift making actual fun pop music.  So yeah, haters gonna hate hate hate hate hate that I like this, but I'm just going to take those comments and just shake them off.

 

taylor-swift-shake-it-off.gif

 

Btw the music video gets tons of kudos for being the main reason why I enjoy this song far more than I should.

Ok....but just because I love you.

CLAPPY'S TOP 10 WORST HIT SONGS OF 2010 (THAT HE HASN'T ALREADY PLACED ON HIS WORST SONGS OF ALL TIME LIST BECAUSE GOD KNOWS HOW MANY SONGS FROM 2010 ARE ALREADY ON THERE AS SOME OF THE WORST SONGS OF ALL TIME TO ME....THIS RUN ON SENTENCE RUNS ON....)

Fuck 2010 pop music so hard.

10. "Billionaire" - Travie McCoy (featuring Bruno Mars)

Oh wow. This song. It feels so.....SUBLIME

Yes that's the main reason I hate this song. If you are going to take the musical arrangement straight from one of the greatest bands from the 90s at least make it a damn good pop song. This is just obnoxious whining and bitching from two assholes who are already rich and famous.

I see your point used to love this song very meh to me now.

9. Bottoms Up - Trey Songz (featuring Nicki Minaj)

IT'S MISTAH STEAL YO GURL

I hate it when a local artist gets a pop hit around here. They overplay the hell out of Chris Brown's music (fun fact: CB grew up nearly a hour and a half away from my house) but when Trey Songz gets a hit, his stuff gets overplayed even more since he grew up fifteen minutes away.

This feels like a song that even Chris Brown turned down for being way too boring. This doesn't make me want to throw my drink up in the air and pick up girls. This makes me want to stay home from the club and take a nap. Points to Nicki Minaj for actually trying to breathe some life into this boring dreck, but even after a few hundred times of listening to this, it drags down with the rest of the song into dullness.

Trey Songz saves this song for me with his vocals, and Nicki's verse is fun enough, like the beat more than most I guess

8. "3" - Britney Spears

This song is putrid. Like it seriously has no idea which target demographic to aim for. It's clearly not for the female demographic Britney usually tends to aim for. It's definitely not for the males because I know I sure wouldn't want to have a threesome with another guy to bone Britney Spears. I mean who the fuck (HEHE GET IT? FUCK. 3-WAY) Britney was thinking would be a fan of this. And the fact that this immediately shot to number one? And here I though Work Bitch was the worst thing Britney released this past decade. Boy does she sure know how to prove me wrong. How did I not know of this song's existence sooner?

Yeah this sucked

7. "In My Head" - Jason DeRulo

Since you guys all know my thoughts on him, I'll just put it to you all like this

-Jason DeRulo is an untalented hack and one of the worst artists I've ever heard rant #2340745.

I like this song, very catchy to me and at least the explicit meanings were overt my favorite song by him.

6. "Deuces" - Chris Brown (featuring Tyga and Kevin McCall)

Hehe. More like douches. I'm sorry, that joke has been repeated to death?

One of my favorite reviews of Todd's. His analysis is too perfect for words.

5. "BedRock" - Young Money (featuring Lloyd)

Lil Wayne and Drake at least get memorable lines in. Yes you heard me. I actually think Lil Wayne's part is ok. Everything else is absolute garbage. Oh and dear god I absolutely hate chorus. Lloyd is an untalented hack and that prehistoric punchline about The Flintstones aggrivates me so.

Admittedly a dumb song but I could listen to the instrumental for hours and that makes me tune out the actual lyrics.

4. "Teach Me How To Dougie" - Cali Swag District

Yes the sole reason this made it on here is because they never actually teach you how to dougie. RIP that one guy that died from that band though. I would never wish anything bad onto any artist no bad how I hate them or their song.

3. "Take it Off" - Ke$ha

It was super easy to be sick of Kemoneysignha this year. She had six singles released. Dear god and here I thought One Direction releasing that many was overload. At least most of their songs don't have staying power. These charted for months. This song. TAKE IT OFF. Right now. TAKE IT OFF. This wasn't as bad as Blah Blah Blah, but this was easily the worst of the rest....

Yeah this is blah worthy, recycled trash

2. "My First Kiss" - 3OH!3 (featuring Ke$ha)

....except for this. Dear god. I am so glad that 3OH!3 isn't relevant anymore. These two frat boy jackasses were obnoxious as fuck. Especially when they collaborated with Kesha. It was ear bleeding bad. This is just a further example as to how bad pop music was because they could have easily charted on my Top 50 of all time and probably my Top 10 worst of the year 2010, but nope. Just another example as to why music sucked this year. So yeah, if that is that bad, what is my number one? Well my number one was super de duper close to making it onto my Top 50 Worst of All Time. As a matter of fact, I'm legitimately surprised I forgot to chart it on there in general in retrospect.

Even more annoying blah recycled trash

1. "Imma Be" - The Black Eyed Peas

MAKE. IT. STOP. THIS SONG IS PURE TORTURE. THIS HIT NUMBER ONE? HOW? THIS ISN'T MUSIC. THIS IS LYRICAL TORTURE PORN. IS IT TOO LATE TO ADD THIS ON MY WORST SONGS OF ALL TIME LIST? FUCK YOU 2010. FUCK YOU. FUCK YOU SO HARD.

Yeah this song is really stupid

Runners Up For This List Include:

- Baby by Justin Bieber (featuring Ludacris) for not being the worst thing ever like so many people think but still being a bad song period.

- Cooler Than Me for making Mike Posner a thing. Oh and for also ripping off lyrics from a far better song by Carly Simon.

- Say Aah by Trey Songz for being mind numbingly stupid.

- Ridin' Solo for being Jason DeRulo's best song ever.

- Do You Remember for wasting the abilities of Lil Jon and Sean Paul.

- Misery for Adam Levine being so punchable in that song.

-Tie Me Down by New Boyz for being so amazingly bad that it's almost good to me...eh not really.

-Secrets from One Republic for being incredibly boring.

-Every Taylor Swift song on the charts this year for being not my target demographic and her not evolving as an artist.

-Your Love for being the most boring song Nicki Minaj has ever released.

-Replay by Iyaz for having one of the dullest pick-up lines I've ever heard

-Live Like We're Dying by Kris Allen for being one of the most uninteresting songs an American Idol winner has ever released.

-Party in the U.S.A. for being so mind numbingly catchy but not making any damn sense.

-Smile by Uncle Kracker for being the official neutering of Uncle Kracker. Remember when he use to be a decent rap-rocker? Cooler than the flip side of my pillow? Yawn.

-Dynamite by Taio Cruz. The biggest example of overplay officially killing a song for me.

-Hard by Rihanna for being one of the worst songs she has ever done. Ever.....until 2012-2013 when she managed to prove me wrong so many times.

-Rock That Body by The Black Eyed Peas for managing to make will.i.am the best part of a Black Eyed Peas song. Impossible things do happen.

-Lover Lover because Jerrod Niemann sucks so much.

-Stuck Like Glue by Sugarland because I hate the reggae break down part in that song so much. It was just fine until THAT happened.

-Undo It because that chorus pisses me off every time I hear Carrie Underwood try to remix her voice.

-Every song that I included my 50 Worst Songs of All-Time list that didn't make it on here. If you think my reactions to some of these other songs I've mentioned in this post were "too harsh", then you haven't seen nothing yet.

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, YOU AMERICAN POP MUSIC LISTENING PUBLIC. IT'S YOUR FAULT ALL THESE SONGS BECAME POPULAR. I DON'T THINK I'LL EVER FIND A YEAR OF MUSIC THAT PISSES ME OFF AS MUCH THE POPULAR SONGS OF 2010....challenge accepted.

However, for all the unbearable music that became popular this year, there were a fair share of standout tracks that didn't make 2010 an entirely lost cause. That list is coming next weekend more than likely because my reviewed out.

Oh and that rant about American pop listening public. Obviously don't meant it.

You know, for my next pop song review, I wanted to touch upon feelings I have for a song I commented on during my last review.

 

 

"Bang Bang" - Jessie J, Ariana Grande & Nicki Minaj

 

As much crap as I like to give bad pop songs in this thread, at least the bad songs have some sort of meaning to them.  The meaning tends to suck, but I digress.  You know what I hate more than being just plain bad?  Being boringly bad.  Boringly bad songs just mean absolutely nothing and are a complete waste of time.  You see, adding Jason DeRulo to a song doesn't technically make it the worst song on the radio.  Every time I hear a Jason DeRulo song, it makes me groan.  He's as hallow and soulless a performer there is.  Now I know what you guys are probably wondering, is there a female equivalent to Mr. DeRulo?  Well I'm glad you guys asked....meet Jessie J.

31ukrRZQ.png

 

She is whatever you guys want her to be.  She can be pre-dirty Miley:

 

 

Don't tell me that doesn't sound way too similar to Party in the USA.  She can be Katy Perry:

 

 

She can be....

 

 

...what in the blue hell was that?  She sounds like a grown Cher Lloyd here mixed with 2010 Christina Aguilera.

 

That doesn't necessarily mean I think Jessie J is as bad as Jason DeRulo.  Not even close, but Jessie J is incredibly hallow and soulless.  I can't get any sort of vibe or personality from her, which is probably why I'm not fond of anything she has done.  But here she is in 2014 and due to the lack of big names out there right now, she has been in the Top 5 for nearly the past two months with her latest single Bang Bang.  This time, Jessie J decides that she wants to the gigantic oower battle of the divas song that we got so used to in the 90s.  You know like the ones involving a variety of big name pop divas like Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Madonna, etc.  So for this retread, she decides to bring along two divas that are far more noticeable than her in Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj.  Now I've recently done less than stellar reviews of both these ladies recent hits.  But does Jessie J have success trying this concept idea out?

 

 

Bravo Jessie J.  Just bravo.  This is grandiose.  This is in your face.  This is....INCREDIBLY BORING.  Like wow, I thought nobody, not even Maroon 5, can make a song as meaningless as this.  This is surprisingly pretty awful.  Allow me to tell you guys how awful this gets.  Let's start out with Jessie J.

 

She got a body like an hourglass, but I can give it to you all the time

She got a booty like a Cadillac, but I can send you into overdrive

 

So she can give it...obviously meaning sex...to the guy all the time with her booty like a...*groans* sorry guys, getting really bad Jason DeRulo "Wiggle" flashbacks.  He's ruined Cadillac metaphors for me.

 

See anybody could be bad to you,
You need a good girl to blow your mind, yeah

 

So Jessie J is the good girl....hmm...that's ironic.  Because not only in two of the videos I posted above, but in her newest single below:

 

 

She's now a naughty girl who's burning up for your love...for fuck's sake Jessie, make up your damn mind.  You can't be a good AND bad girl. I'll deal with allowing 2 Chainz to guest verse in due time

 

So yeah what's more unbelievable than Jessie J being a good girl?  Allow your expectations to be even lowered folks.

 

She mighta let you hold her hand in school, but I'mma show you how to graduate
No, I don't need to hear you talk the talk, just come and show me what your mamma gave

 

Oh Ariana.....why do you keep disappointing me?

(You've got a very big shhhh, mouth but don't say a thing)
 

Wow, I can't believe I'm listening to Cat Valentine whispering about a guy's penis....

 

See anybody could be good to you,
You need a bad girl to blow your mind

 

You know, I don't even care if Ariana Grande is talking about blowing a guy's mind...once again, SHE DOESN'T PULL OFF BAD GIRL AT ALL.  She really needs to stop with this sultry sex goddess act.  On a scale from 1 to Miley Cyrus, she is a 0 in terms of being believable as a sex hound.  Yet alone being a "bad girl".  God how much more disappointing can this get?

 

It's Myx Moscato
It's frizz in a bottle
It's Nicki full throttle
It's oh, oh
Swimming in the grotto
We winning in the lotto
We dipping in the pot of blue foam, so
Kitten so good
It's dripping on wood
Get a ride in the engine that could
Go, Batman robbin' it
Bang, bang, cockin' it

 

Oh yeah...the epitome of squandered talent.  Nicki Minaj just keeps being Nicki Minaj.  Nothing to see here folks except for Nicki Minaj doing her whole bubblegum pop rap thing that I loathe as seen previously in Super Bass and Starships.

 

Bang bang into the room (I know you want it)
Bang bang all over you (I'll let you have it)

 

Ugh, this chorus is so meaningless.

 

Wait a minute let me take you there (ah)

 

Wait a minute 'til ya (ah)

 

This whole chorus in general just really really drags.  They tell us to wait a minute, but it seems like an eternity.

Bang bang there goes your heart (I know you want it)
Back, back seat of my car (I'll let you have it)

 

MEAN SOMETHING DAMMIT.  I can go ahead and bitch about how overplayed songs are on the radio this year and how the charts have been doing nothing for most of this year except lagging, but god, at least the songs that lag are interesting.  This song should be more interesting, but these personalities that are fighting over this guy are just NOT.  Poor guy, I don't think he should go with any of these choices to be honest.  Do us all a favor unnamed guy.

 

5820175318_tumblr_mcolb8b3Pq1qi21hi_xlar

 

Run.  Run away from the bad song.

 

Wait a minute let me take you there (ah)
Wait a minute 'til ya (ah)

 

God I hate this song so much.  What a waste of my time.

Calling it boring, I'm fine with that, but I think the song being a grandiose of boring is a bit of a stretch. That, or I didn't know that boring can mean many different things, because generally I find a boring song when it sounds like this for example:

 

Spoiler

 

Or simply like this song that you reviewed several months ago:

 

Spoiler

 

Just saying, I was rather entertained when I first heard this song, believe it or not, enough though I realize know that this song doesn't have much of a meaning, now that I've read your review on this. It's probably because of the vocal talent of Jessie J and Ariana Grande alongside the beat that blares during the song that I find this entertaining.

 

My opinion is like this: it is flawed for mixing up the personalities of Jessie and Ariana, and for its lack of meaning, from what you said, but it sounds entertaining musically(?). Pretty much, I just don't understand its boring as much as you do.

Bang bang there goes your heart (I know you want it)

Back, back seat of my car (I'll let you have it)

I just realized that Robin Thicke gets shit for saying "I know you want it" in Blurred Lines, but Jessie J doesn't for saying it in this song, which is practically about the same thing (trying to convince a person to have sex with them). Double-standards all around.

The difference is Jessie J doesn't act like the creepy guy in the bar throughout the entire song.

I agree that Blurred Lines is somewhat creepy, but the overwhelmingly negative reaction to it is wholly undeserved, when there are millions of songs that are far more rapey. For example, Give Me Everything by Pitbull is basically about grabbing a random girl and telling them to have sex with them just because they might not see tomorrow (it also implies the singer is drunk when doing this). Timber by the same artist has the line "She says she won't, but I bet she will". Where's the thousands of Tumblr posts and news articles slamming Pitbull for misogyny? He's a lot worse than Robin Thicke, and so are a whole load of artists who are currently in the charts. I bet if Blurred Lines was sung by Katy Perry, no one would care about it. Speaking of Katy Perry, E.T. has Kanye West sing "I'mma disrobe you, then I'mma probe you/See, I abducted you so I tell you what to do". And let's not forget that half of death metal bands' lyrics are about graphic rape, and I know a whole load of people who listen to death metal, including some girls (one listens to Cannibal Corpse and calls Blurred Lines "disgusting")

 

I'm not saying Blurred Lines has perfect lyrics, but I think it's unfair to single Robin Thicke out when there are a whole bunch of artists worse than him.
