3OH!3 – feat. Katy Perry
Since emerging on the scene in 2008 after playing Warped Tour in America, 3OH!3 have been everywhere. Their debut single “Don't Trust Me,” quickly went Platinum as they infested the music channels and charts both here and Stateside where they originate from Boulder, Colorado. Let's be clear about one thing...these boys don't make serious music. At-least, you couldn't say they're aiming to make a political statement or start a musical revolution. It's fun. It's dumb. But in all honesty, it's annoying in any other scenario than a packed nightclub at 3am when you've drunk one too many vodka-red bull's.
If you're looking for a track to chill out to, listen to in the library or on the bus, look elsewhere. I mean, what is with all the whistling? Stop it! Please! Given, it's horribly, horribly catchy but then, so is chlamydia. So that doesn't make it any good does it? This songs one redeeming factor is it's guest appearance from Katy Perry who seems to be loved by men and women alike, though for completely different reasons, I'm sure. Apart from her appearance there is nothing original about this song. The verses are the out-takes from a bad rap album and the chorus is an electronic rehashing of any good pop-punk song in the last three years. “How do I say sorry 'cause the word is just never gunna come out?” sing Sean and Nate in the oh-so-sickly chorus. I don't know boys but if I were you, I'd work it out because this song needs apologising for.
