FUCK THIS SHIT! Cannot be coincidence (2...'top 10' songs to sample fucking "Alouette" in 3-months)...and really...WHY!?!?! When's a pop song going to sample "Frère Jacques"?

...the new Cheryl Cole song is fucking terrible too.

I know our generation has a short attention span, but damn. This is just an insult.

Actually my first time hearing the new Mark Ronson song despite everyone talking about it for ages. I think I quite like it. I'm pretty sure I will like it when drunk.

Chery Cole's one was awful. Shame cause I actually quite liked a couple of her previous songs.

I've never particularly liked any of the Cheryl songs I've heard, but they haven't been 'annoying'. That's just terrible.

I really like the Ronson song too. It's strange, popular music has been 95% of the time totally passing me by (which I blame on my lack of clubbing, and all clubbing I do tend to do is 'indie-niche' these days ), but this hasn't. For example, took me ages to click onto that Chiddy Bang song...and it's only in the last week or so I've got into;

...which are fucking 'ancient'. It makes me shudder to say it, but I'm bloody loving that 30STM song. Even if it's just an even wanker version of "Rooftops"...which is a fairly wank (but singy-alongy) Lost Prophets song.

Je Te Plumerlai Tete!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mark Ronson's song is good, Cheryl Cole's is woeful compared to Fight for This Love.

That Iyaz song is one of those I heard one day at work and thought was okay. After what feels like several hundred listens, I loathe the song.

Still quite like this though:

Better than the Iyaz version. And the singer's cute.

[Skummy]

There you are, YI.

[DavidMarrio]

Anyone else now sayin Ridin Solo like a retard like Jason Derulo does?

Big fan of the Ronson song. Didn't listen to the Cheryl Cole one, but fuck me she looks sexy in that picture.

But I felt really stupid for not realising California Girls and Kesha's Tick Tock used the same beat.

Dear music industry, stop sampling "Brazil" by Deadmau5. It's a fucking awesome tune (his best), but it never fucking works.

It didn't work with Kylie;

And it doesn't work with this bint either;

I'm struggling as to which is the worst. Kylie's just sounds awful, and the Alexis Jordan one, it doesn't fit together at all, especially 3:00 where what is sung basically bares no relation to the music at all, then the cut at 3:25...good god...the song makes me cringe so fucking much.

But I felt really stupid for not realising California Girls and Kesha's Tick Tock used the same beat.

And without being a tosser...the 'beat' is basically KICK-CLAP/SNARE-KICK-CLAP/SNARE...which is honestly a 'beat' in the most remedial of senses (I mean, what's wrong with them, they couldn't even do the "Pendulum beat"?! Even Girls Aloud managed that. ). It's not as if they've come up with something incredibly original that is shared between the two.
