What the hell is this crap? There are some bands that simply shouldnt try to go 'dancey' and Owl City is one of them. That voice just sound ridiculous with the thump thump techno beat. Its like Sinatra singing hardcore, dude it just dont work.
Im not even sure who would have allowed this song to come out let alone be promoted. Adam Young has a great Deathcabby sort of thing going on and he likes hugs and lightening bugs but this.. this is just wrong
This song is the white guy trying to speak ghetto. I suppose if you turn down the vocal its ok, or if he tried to sound less falsetto that could have improved things. Just looking at the dash of comments on the YouTube video, I dont see this as #1 with a bullet.
The lyrics are so bad that literally made me wince. Hey anyone got a word that rhymes with trance? Yuck. Do I hear 'pony rides' and 'footprints on the moon'? Im gonna kill myself.
Bands like 3oh!3 and Breathe Carolina can pull this off cuz theyre dirty and sweaty, this guy aint got the grit. Its Glee does techno.
