See here’s the benefit yet again of being nearly clueless to popular music. Bruno Mars? Seriously? I saw a smidge of him on television and really thought that whole croony pop thing was endearing. Not enough to run out to buy his stuff but enough not to rip off my eyelashes to stop the pain as I do with say.. hmm Nickleback.
Not bad this sweet romantic kid with the Sinatra fedora. I sorta felt “Just The Way You Are” was nothing more than an ode to pimply four-eyed teen aged girls so they can feel loved. Sorta Tiger Beat meets Menudo. A bit dated there, its ok Google it. But the music was catchy enough. The Magpie and I have actually both busted out these lyrics to my dog Daisy. Props to my beast! When we find an over done song with annoying hook, we sing it to the dog. That way we can get it out of our head when it get stuck. Meh, strange but that’s how we roll.
Speaking of roll… “I Think I Want To Mary You” is actually one of the most fun songs Ive heard in awhile. Recommended to me by one of the most adorable guys of all time at first I thought it was a come on, dangit… nope. It’s a fun song that has that charming young spirit we all had (and if you’re under 30 you should STILL) There is a lovely visual in running away with the man you love. Just drop every thing grab a bottle of booze and get drunk be silly and enjoy being in love. What a beautiful image. What a difficult reality. Work, school life it all equals a big fat pain in the ass when all you want to do is scream ‘yeah yeah yeah’ and do it.
Gotta say this hardcore girl loves this song. Cuz if only for 3:41 minutes I can run up and down the streets being a lovestruck goofball. Three Cheers for Sweet Romance, awww.
