cute


I hate this song

more than anything released by mainstream pop artists this year. It's Bucks Fizz for the noughties.


yeah

its brilliant


I know

this is a shit(ie non-DiS) song etc etc, but Ive only heard it a couple of times, I reckon its one of those guilty pleasure songs. Thank god I dont listen to it all day every day on the radio though, would soon get sick of it.


What?!!

S club 7: The Musical?

FUCK THIS! AWFUL! FUCK OFF!


Pretty shit aint it

look at their fucking smug faces


They're under the impression

that they are having a GREAT TIME, but they all just want to bum each other, and instead make this kind of terror noise.


Good joke.

This is like a non-diverse version of s-club 7, minus one of the people, making it S-Club 6.

Find a new job, making music isn't for you.


i thought i'd hate this song first time i heard it

but it's too fucking catchy. it just rapes you until you give in and admit to liking it. plus, they look so happy, bouncing around like they haven't a care in their frivolous gay lives. why can't i have that, EH!?!?


Yeah, I would have to agree.

It is so galling to know that you should hate it but I fucking love the melody. Jesus, audio heroin.


the boy is so sickeningly cute

it's like he has his best 'HI MUM I'M ON TV' smile on the whole song.

<3


Manages to combine

Deacon Blue at their blandest with Living In a Box to the rhythm of the Pointer Sisters' "I'm So Excited".


Nooo

It's the equal of that 'I'm surprised you left your suitcase atthedoor' song on annoying work radio.


people who like this song

are the reason same difference got through so many rounds on x factor...


OH BUT ITS FUN

NO ITS NOT ITS A BUNCH OF CUNTS


:(


:)

Not going to get into the whole pop argument thing...


Just wait....

.....until you hear 10,000 Nights of Thunder. Seriously it makes Fascination seem as catchy as Tool by comparison. It's one of the best pop songs I've ever heard


i just listened to this

and i can no longer find a reason to hate them, at all. essentially, alphabeat are los campesinos! imagined by stock, aitken and waterman.


whilst I'm normally big on popjustice type stuff

and you can often find me getting emotional listening to Robyn loudly on headphones, I have to say I think this is quite horrific.


Awful.


genius

possibly even better than the stevie wonder/clash one he did


the drummer looks like he has having so much fun!

this is the only good bit though.


he is

not having fun. It is just how people express crippling depression in Denmark.


non ironic post alert

I like this a lot.


do you like

pokemon?


I likes it

but I am in a band in which 75% of the songs have key changes!


i normally like *some* pop music.

but this is truly, truly awful.


i just remembered where i know this from

which is interesting to no one else.

I think it's ok because they're scandinavian.


Bouncy indiepop

There's something about this that makes me want to listen to The New Pornographers. Right now!


single of the year

hands down


it starts off fine

but crosses the line into dross way too quickly


I think

Fascination would be a decent song, if it wasn't a shameless carbon copy rip off of Modern Love. Cheap and nasty.


yes

tis good.


Garbage

Total utter tripe from start to finish. They should all fuck off back to Butlins.

I really do worry about people who like this trash though, what the fuck is wrong with you?


Thanks for posting this

I clicked it, watched a minute and now have the sub-footloose bassline and whinning lyrics stuck in my head for the rest of the day

CHEERS


I hate this song

Sounds exactly like the type of dribble you'd expect those X-Factor twins to have wanked out.


Pretty catchy!

Uh oh, whoa uh oh!


TOO CUNTING CATCHY

I was talking to someone about my hate for them and they asked me what it sounded like, i could instantly remember it and now it's stuck.

It's like if some Danish people raped wham musically.


i'm secretly in love with it

i just discovered it on my Virgin On Demand.

YEESSS!!!


best LOL I've had all day

they're just unfeasibly smiley, how does one reach those levels of smileyness without some kind of illegal substance?


ofcourse

it's all so clear now


^ ban request

This is not a guilty pleasure. Just guilty of bad taste.


cunts

they're in 'now 69' you dont need any more reason than that to hate them.


*in

= on


eek

would I be banned from dis if I admit I've got tickets to see these (my friend really likes them!)? i think this song is catchy if a little high school musical-esque. i'm just going have to get really drunk beforehand methinks.


Facination!


I haven't checked

but i've heard this song is a rip-off of the Ducktales theme tune. Nuff said.


Ducktales

A Woo Hoo.


it IS


Haha!

So true! Ducktales is even better, mind.


God.

I saw this on TMF the other day and had to watch until the end to find out who it was by so I had a name to put to the hate. But they never said who it was! Boy was I angry.

The chorus reminds me of "Insomnia" by Feeder which aptly contains the lyrics "My poor brain".


On further inspection,

I meant the bridge. The chorus sounds like Emma Bunton. Ugh I hate this song so much! Must. Not. Watch. Again.


that is awful!

and they've stolen the bridge from letters to cleo. fuckers.


!

letters to cleo! my first ever gig! random.


Letters to Cleo's lead singer

sang the vocals on the Josie And The Pussycats soundtrack.

Josie And The Pussycats rock and so do Alphabeat!!!


I can't believe this song is getting so much shit

it's pepped up pop music of the purest form.
I fucking LOVE.
And kudos to whoever said they're like los campesinos! imagined by stock, aitken and waterman.


its

soooo fucking annoying, i dont trust anyone that fucking happy. cunts.


i said that about them being

los campesinos! imagine by stock aitken and waterman!

(sorry, i'm just happy that someone agrees with that)


Very perceptive

+5 Brownie points


i dont

know why but i fucking love this song...


Good on you sir!


I'll

add my vote to the 'this is fuckin ace' side. The girl has an absolutely brilliant pop voice, happy, upbeat and yearning (for want of a better word) at the same time. Anyone who doesn't like it is a miserable soulless freak.


Ok, I HATED this

But the video is all kinds of lol.


oh man, i hate the male lead's gurning face more than... more than... CANCER!

Anything that cheerful should be set on fire.

I DO like the happy bald man! Tee hee! Look how big his guitar is in contrast to his body!

I can't decide if I love or hate this song. The first time I heard it I wanted to commit suicide, yet I was compelled to listen to it ten times in a row. Frustrating


sounds like

one of those ROD JANE AND FREDDY songs from fuckin RAINBOW.


*YAWN*


stop

pulling yer bishop all night and yer wouldnt be tired gimp


You have mail

Read your pms Mr Happy.


I think I heard them this lunchtime

not enough shouting or loud guitars, and the drums sounded like they weren't being smacked enough.
