Summer Song 2011 Hopeful #1:
The Lazy Song by Bruno Mars
Pros:
- Upbeat tempo (Reggae influenced)
- Fun and whimsical lyrics
- Catchy whistling (That actually isn't featured on the album version)
- Awesome video featuring Poreotics - an all male, Asian dance crew from California dressed up as monkeys!
- References to popular things that will help time stamp the song for nostalgic purposes (ex. P90X and The Snuggie)
Cons:
- Some lyrics are definitely questionable. Particularly, "meet a really nice girl and have some really nice sex", and "throw my hand in my pants" - not grandma approved!
- It was released as a single Feb. 15, 2011 so it might not fall into the 'summer range' - although since I live in Maine where hairstyles from the 1980's are still being worn, I will say that this song just hit the radio waves about a month ago.
Fun Facts:
- This song has made it on the charts of over 20 countries including Hungary where it reached #1!
- They have recently released another 'official' video of the song, featuring a very disturbing scene of 'Spock' peeing, which can be seen below.
Do you think The Lazy Song has what it takes to be THE Summer Song of 2011?
