Summer Song Hopeful #5:
Cooler Than Me by Mike Posner
Pros:
- This song follow the very successful 'Thong Song' formula. That is to say, it found a really catchy couple of lyrics and it just repeats the crap out of them. I'm not knocking it. It really is catchy - and easy to remember at karaoke too!
- The beat of this song does double duty. It is capable of fueling you at the beach or the club. Not many songs can say that.
- The message behind this song is one that everyone can get behind. 'Stop being fake!' It is the 21st Century 'Your So Vain'. What grandma wouldn't like to kick some skinny bitch off her high horse? Grannie approved!
Cons:
- The only con to making this the best Summer Song of 2011, is that it really should've been crowned Summer Song 2010! It was released in April 2010, but because (as I've already proven) Maine is so behind the times, this song didn't hit the radio waves until late fall 2010. What a rip off!
Fun Facts:
- The songs vocals were recorded by Posner on his computer through a really cheap microphone. The lyrics were written about a girl in one of his college classes who had snubbed him.
- Posner's mom really liked this song better than his others because of the message and because there wasn't a lot of swearing in it. Looks like mom has good taste too.
Do you think 'Cooler Than Me' has what it takes to be crowned Summer Song 2011?
