One of the nice things about XM is that I can avoid trash like this at all costs. I can't imagine a scenario in which I'd be on a station that would play this song.

That said, I was intrigued enough to seek out the full video on google, and I must say, this is as fabulous of a train wreck of a song that I've ever heard. Really, really bad. This song makes "We Built This City On Rock And Roll" sound like a fine opera. This song makes a Grammy winner out of Vanilla Ice's lesser known ballad. This song makes *gulp* "Save a Horse, Ride A Cowboy" palatable.

After clicking on and seeing more of that video than I care to admit, all I can say is you should be banned and ...

DELETE THIS GODDAMN THREAD NOW!

I caught a lot of snarky comments when I defended J-Timberlake/dissed Journey. Now I don't feel so bad about that. [/I'm bringin' Sexy Back/Them other f*&(ers don't know how to act]

Dammit, Oz, I keep trying to like the JT song. But it's just too techno, all computerized voices and shit. Too weird for me.

Ain't nothing wrong with the new song by J-Timberake. It's catchy. [/Get your sexy on]

Agreed. I guarantee at most Top 40 stations, this song is on a three-hour rotation.

Which is why I love my XM. And my Sirius.

Q: What was the last song with "Bridge" in the title to hit No. 1?

And "Save A Horse, Ride A Cowboy" was the worst song ever made, especially because it spawned a dumbass slogan for fucktards everywhere.

And if you adjust the settings for "We Built This City" to eliminate the synthesizer tones, it's actually not too bad.

I'd guess "Under the Bridge" by the Chili Peppers.

My favorite Fergie story is when she peed in her pants during a performance.

I thought, "Well maybe it's just sweat."

But no, she said she'd gotten drunk before she took the stage and didn't even realize she'd peed in her pants.

When the photo was widely circulated, I thought that would be the end of it for her -- even the teenaged girls would think her gross.

But no -- she comes out with a solo album that will probably go platinum.

Though she'll be every bit as happy if if just goes gold.

That homeless man is also a heroin user hooked on crystal meth.

That homeless man also apparently has a thing for Jack Klugman in drag.

Brett Summers wouldn't fuck that with Charles Nelson Reilly's dick.

Wasn't there a time when Black Eyed Peas were part of the intellectual rap movement with Common and The Roots?

I would never call them part of the intellectual rap movement. They were more akin to Jurassic 5. Not threatneing but not exactly ground-breaking poletically or socially.

I think everyone kind of liked them because they simply did their thing. They weren't overly popular, but they had a cult following because there was an authenticity there when they heard songs like "Joints & Jams."

Obviously, there's no real authenticity to them nowadays.

DD, In answer to your question, yes.

I'd rather listen to 'Stars Are Blind' by Paris Hilton 700 times straight than hear 'London Bridge' once.

I believe that's saying something.

I will not stand for this.

That Paris Hilton song does not suck. It's like Gwen Stefani lite. Sure, it's overprocessed and overproduced and her voice is thinner than Nicole Richie. But it does. Not. Suck.

Sweetie, are you out your damn mind?

It's a terrible song. Not as terrible as London Bridge. Not as terrible as the Nickelback song, but it blows.

Sorry girl, you are wrong, wrong, wrong on this. I can almost run to the Fergie drivel.

"London Bridge" is a horrible, horrible song.

But it, and the Paris Hilton song, pale in comparison to this gem -- a No. 1 hit, mind you -- from Gwen Steffani:

Uh huh, this my shit
All the girls stomp your feet like this

A few times I've been around that track
So it's not just goin' to happen like that
'Cause I ain't no hollaback girl
I ain't no hollaback girl
[2x]

Oooh, this my shit, this my shit [4x]

I heard that you were talking shit
And you didn't think that I would hear it
People hear you talking like that, getting everybody fired up
So I'm ready to attack, gonna lead the pack
Gonna get a touchdown, gonna take you out
That's right, put your pom-poms down, getting everybody fired up

A few times I've been around that track
So it's not just goin' to happen like that
'Cause I ain't no hollaback girl
I ain't no hollaback girl
[2x]

Oooh, this my shit, this my shit [4x]

So that's right dude, meet me at the bleachers
No principals, no student-teachers
Both of us wanna be the winner, but there can only be one
So I'm gonna fight, gonna give it my all
Gonna make you fall, gonna sock it to you
That's right, I'm the last one standing, another one bites the dust

A few times I've been around that track
So it's not just goin' to happen like that
'Cause I ain't no hollaback girl
I ain't no hollaback girl
[2x]

Oooh, this my shit, this my shit [4x]

Let me hear you say, this shit is bananas
B-A-N-A-N-A-S
[4x]

A few times I've been around that track
So it's not just goin' to happen like that
'Cause I ain't no hollaback girl
I ain't no hollaback girl
[2x]

Oooh, this my shit, this my shit [4x]
