YouTube Top 5 (Sep. 7 2012)

Well if there's on thing writing this series has taught me it's that YouTube viewers have very consistent fucking tastes. So another month passed and three of these songs are again repeats. Well, I didn't pick the damn songs. So here you are another YouTube top 5. I get to talk about a whole two songs this month! Honestly, of fucking Call Me Maybe is still in this list next month I'm either gonna have to find something new to say about it or just not put it here at all. It's a waste of my time to put my comments here a-fucking-gain and it's a waste of your time to scroll past it again. Also sorry for this being a week late. I barely even realized it was a new month.

#1 Psy - Gangnam Style
Well this is the first song I've had to discuss that wasn't in English. It's cool to see this here actually. I kinda like the song. It's got a catchy little beat going on under Psy's vocals and, though I have absolutely no clue what he's saying, other than 'sexy lady' I know all about the sexy ladies, I do like his vocals too. The video makes profoundly no sense, but I mean maybe it somehow relates to what he is actually saying. Let me look at this and see if I can find something here........ nope! I have no clue what he could possibly saying that relates to these seemingly absolutely random visuals of Psy dancing about in various nice clothes in various arbitrary locations. Unless of course the song is his just spouting out seeming senseless garbage and the video provides visuals of these random things. The only other thing I can think is maybe the song itself is about the nature of randomness. That would actually be very clever at that point to have dancing about in areas that were most likely decided by a monkey with a spinning dartboard. But I doubt this is the case. I don't know. I don't speak, I'm guessing it's Korean cause Psy is Korean; through I guess his being Korean doesn't mean he can't sing in say, Chinese. But I'm backing on Korean for the language here.

#2 Carly Rae Jepsen - Call Me Maybe

So this song is alright. It's not that good, but it's alright. I wanna take a moment here to talk about some of the lyrics. "Before you came into my life, I missed you so bad." Wait what? Before he came into your life you didn't know he existed. How can you miss something you don't know exists? "It's hard to look right at you baby." Really Mrs. Jepsen? You found an individual so amazingly good looking and beautiful that he is on par with the visual appeal of the Greek king of gods Zeus himself, and if you were to gaze directly upon his true form your puny human eyes would burst into flame at heralding such raw magnificence as him. Now then, the big on, the chorus itself. "Hey I just met you, and this is crazy, but here's my number. So call me maybe." Jepsen you whore! Giving your phone number to a man you just met I bet you let him look at your ankles too didn't you. What would your mother think of you? And the car washing scene, honestly, if you're that desperate to get him to see you, take off your shirt, walk over to him, grab his head, and shove it between your tits. You'll get his attention I promise. But like I said at the beginning, the songs alright.

#3 One Direction - What Makes You Beautiful
Ugh this song I don't even wanna talk about it. Cause the longer it takes me to write this review the longer it is till my brain can lump up everything about this awful music and throw it the fuck out so I never have to think about it again. No! Fuck. Okay I'm gonna do this. Song is the dude telling the shy girl that she's pretty cause she doesn't know she's pretty and flaunt it. Eh I guess I agree with that. Now then, I hate the singers voices. I hate how the lead enunciates words. The whole video is generic as hell consisting of people on a beach and the fucking director still put his name on the damn thing. Really John Urbano? If I made a bland ass utterly boring video with a terrible fucking band like this bunch of talentless pricks in it I sure as hell wouldn't have put my name in bold lettering on it. Now I've never heard anything else from One Direction, but if this song is any indication I sure as hell am not running out to buy their new album any fucking time soon. I'm done here. This song is awful and unless you enjoy awful music I recommend you avoid it.

#4 Katy Perry - Wide Awake
Alright Katy Perry, I don't actually hate her music much like you might assume a young heterosexual male would. I actually kind like California girlz for a reason other than seeing a nude Katy Perry laying on a pink cloud. I definitely like seeing that though. Yes please. But yeah Wide awake, It's okay. I like the gothic outfit she wears in it. Again yes please. But the actual music part is decent. I don't really like it, but it's alright. Decent beat and she's got a good voice.

#5 will.i.am - This Is love feat. Eva Simons
Well it happened. Three months in and I finally found a song I genuinely liked on the first listen. While I did eventually end up liking Boyfriend by Justin Beiber, Yeah that's right I like that song, I didn't like it right away. Boyfriend took a couple plays through before I started actually liking that song. will.i.am here and Eva Simons had me enjoying their song on the first time. And mostly, I attribute that to the beat of this song. It's solid as hell. Now I don't really like rap, and in fact go a step farther and actively dislike a lot of rap and hip-hop, though not as much as I used to. And while I don't really like will.i.am rapping in the verses, it's not bad. Personally I think the verses are decent bordering on good and the chorus is even better. Honestly, though, I really would rather this song have been Eva Simons feat. will.i.am. They do work well together I would have just enjoyed hearing Eva a bit more than she was in the song. Still good though. Nice choice YouTube.

Perhaps I will change the format of this to make it the highest five songs I haven't already talked about. Ya know, so I don't have to continue copy pasting that same thing about Carly Rae Jepsen that has been here since the first one of these damn things.
