[Good song.]

As I'm reasonably certain I said on one of the other writeups, I'm kinda easily manipulated by any song dealing with being honest about repressed feelings, so this was pretty much guaranteed a high placement as soon as she decided to directly say "I've been denying how I feel".

...A bit too on the nose, I suppose, but it's what I want to hear.

((At least, I'm pretty sure I mentioned something about liking songs about being honest about feelings earlier? Or did I just plan to say it and quickly erase it to avoid saying too much? It's hard to say what was in some of those REDACTED writings.

And those are just the ones I admitted to deleting. During one write-up I got distracted by a show on in the background and went on about it for quite a while, before deleting the entire thing, listening to the song again, and forcing myself to at least try to stay on topic.

Anyway, the point is, I've lost track of what I actually said, what I started to say and deleted, what I thought about saying, and what I probably said in alternative realities. And I should close these parenthesis, but I kinda don't want to? *sighs*))

Anywho... it's incredibly catchy and one of the best mainstream pop songs I've ever heard. It's quite close to greatness, but I still can't fully connect with it. Too happy, too dance-y, too obviously about sex-y.

[Final Thoughts: Well, I know I definitely mentioned that bit about being drawn to lines about honest feelings before--at least on Darkness & Bad Chick, and probably multiple times. I repeat myself frequently this topic.

As for the show in question, it was Pup Academy. I had Disney Channnel on quietly in the background so I wouldn't miss the new DuckTales and Pup Academy's pilot episode was being shown as the lead-in. The show is somehow dumber than it sounds, but I have a weakness for animals... so I got kinda caught up in it. To an embarrassing degree. And since I had to actually pay attention to the songs, I scrapped the entire thing and went back to work after the shows ended.

Aaanywho..., this is a good song.]

Nominator: Hannyabal (4/15)

(8, 9, 9 [later upgraded to a 10])

[My reaction to this is all over the place. The lyrics are too direct to fantasize with, and the chorus is one line repeated endlessly, but... I actually really enjoy the pre-chorus and the dream-like outro to a point that I didnt want it to end. Its complicated.]

Let's just say I like it and move on.

[Final Thoughts: I find the lack of an actual writeup to be almost offensive. At this point, any song that managed to get this high up the list deserves something. And yet, I can't find anything I really want to say about it. It's apparently great? I gave it a 10, I've listened to it for fun multiple times, I have it placed higher than multiple songs that I've admitted loving. I just can't find any words to explain or justify it.]
