What Does the Fox Say?!

I you haven't heard of the song called "The Fox" by Ylvis a Norwegian duo then it is a must to check out it has literally gone viral with over 55 million views! I have to admit when I first heard it I was kind of skeptical thinking it was just a electro pop version of "Old McDonald" but the song has grown on me tremendously. Lyrically it is just about animals and the sounds they make but the hypothetical sounds that Ylvis comes up with for the fox really add to the song making it a blast to listen too. Overall I like the song, it might be the beat, or the dancing in the animal costumes, or how passionately they are singing about what sound a fox makes because after listening to the song a few times through I have become pretty concerned with not knowing what sound the fox makes! Even if you think this song is not your type of music it is definitely worth watching just for the video if nothing else because seeing grown men dancing in animal onsies just might brighten your day with some laughter.

No More Smiley Miley

Miley's new music video for her song "23" just released today and I have to admit I have had it on replay for quite awhile already and have reached the point where I am singing and rapping along, it's very catchy! I am a strong believer in the fact that as long as you have a good beat the lyrics can be mediocre and it'll still be a "banger." Mike WiLL is living proof of my theory considering that not only is the beat on this song golden but he has producer for many other rappers like Juicy J, Trinidad James, and Future. All of those rappers I wouldn't say are exactly inspirations lyrically but I guarantee their songs will be the most popular at any club you go to. 

I have been a BIG supporter of Miley's new look from the beginning because honestly I found her boring before, like a little too cookie cutter, but in the music video you see her decked out in Bulls attire rocking Michael Jordan's number 23. Even though, the song is sort of a ode to Michael Jordan, and I say sort of because this song is more focused around pop culture icon that is the bulls and the "#23." With that said I like that not all her outfits in the song are centered around the whole bulls concept though like her white outfit when she's holding the bedazzled basketball is a favorite. I guess the fact that I'm even commenting on Miley's outfits in her music video shows that lyrically the song was ok, I think she could have had more badass lyrically since I guess this is a rap song to some degree, like one part of the bridge she literally says "I'm naughty by nature like hip-hop hooray." Maybe if she would have had a cleaver line or two in there I would have been more impressed but generally this song is ideal for those night outs with friends. From a marketing stand point her music and style are consistent because she's young and having fun so why not make music about that? Trust me us college kids love that because if you can't listen to cheesy music now when can you really?

Also have to mention I'm a BIG fan of the Wiz Khalifa's laugh, he really needs to capitalize on it.
