So after blasting the ever loving fuck out of that new Melanie Martinez single I decided to actually go back and re-listen to the song it's basically an interpretation on and realized that that song came out 50 years ago....shit son time is a crazy thing but either way it's interesting really that she's done a modernized take on a very sad but catchy number...

Song of the Day 3/10/15
So for some reason or another Buzzfeed has managed to dedicate quite a few articles to one Carly Rae Jepsen's newest single I Really Like You and after seeing the music video over the weekend I figured fuck it let's cover this little pop tune.
Now first off I'm not going to lie up until the chorus which sounds like a fucking child wrote it this song seems a slight bit less embarassingly poppy a track as Call Me Maybe even if the beat is kind of bland and the lyrics are for the most part about as basic and bare boned as it get's which in all honesty shouldn't be any surprise because it was that dumb ass child like innocently cheesy catchy vibe that was why Call Me Maybe was so popular.
I honestly feel that its' a solid number in it's own right and upon watching the music video I'm only really finding it more to be kind of a publicity stunt if not an oddly charming one because the video really is just kind of a semi-creepy but charming affair of Tom Hanks not giving no fucks and hella just kind of haming things up while also showcasing just how little rhythm he got near the end when I finally get to see a very cute looking Jepsen dancing along side him and a bunch of back up dancers as they do some odd dance routine.
Overall this is a pop song people manufactured to follow the basic guidelines that repetition is good for getting people hooked on really high beat and kind of sugary sweet lyrics about having a crush and beyond that statement there really isn't a whole lot to really say aside from damn you for getting this catchy little bit of sugary pop stuck in your head for the remainder of the day.
