2009: #8 - "Boom Boom Pow"



Describing this song seriously almost made me quit doing this blog. It's barely a song. And it's BAD. Yet I love it so.

Why? Well, hardly anything about it, on its own, is good on any level, so talking about "Boom Boom Pow"'s merits, like I've done with every song so far, is impossible.

All the bad parts - nausea-inducing whirring sound, Casio-keyboard beat, batshit crazily shouted non-chorus, Auto-Tune where it's not at all necessary, that part where it's like "Hittin' on y'all with the BOOM BOOM!/Hittin on y'all with the [kick drum] [kick drum]!", those effects at the end that sound like they're feeding back on each other, and that infamous and inexplicably beloved threat, "I'm so 3008/You're so two-thousand-and-late!" - just pile up and up on top of one other until you have this perfect shitstorm of aural diarrhea coming out of your car stereo.

Did anything else in 2009 sound like that?
