I quite like it as well - lyrically it's a rehash of well-worn themes, and the beat sounds like a rehash also, but it bumbles along pleasantly enough, it's not like it makes me want to change the channel of whatever (even with the overly referential/reverential video). The presence of Will-I-Am is sort of cancelled out by the presence of Kelis, y'know?

I think it's the chorus, really. The song just trots onwards normally enough, but then it hits, and it just sounds so stuck, so utterly lacking in... flux, I think.

Not only does the clash between his and her voice sound entirely wrong to me (and hell, I like Kelis, but she sounds like such a misplaced little robot in it...), but the lyrics and the way they actually intone them... The only word that comes to mind is stuck, really. The song just hits that point and dies, and then does it again, and then does it again, and then... Well, you get the picture - mine, at least, natch.

And will.i.am? That's always a big no-no.

I am utterly incapable of writing appropriately about music, clearly. Heh.

I think you do fine. Anyway, Flyboy just articulated exactly why I don't like this song - I demand more from music (esp. Busta!) than bumbling along pleasantly enough.
