As soon as I heard that song, I though "gee I've heard THAT before"...

There's some online speculation that's it's "borrowed" in large part from a song I'd never heard by Brittany McDonald called "Bang."

Except, I remember it to be an earlier pattern, even to the double-time lyric section. Blondie? Pat Benatar? The Pretenders? SOMEBODY from the "women with gonads" rack in the record store...  |

The overall production on that CU tune reminds me of Shania.

| They will use Underwood up sooner than she deserves. Already got her doing the bump/grind thing. She had a nice clean image and now the handlers got her headed down the sex path. did you see her bumping and grinding on the CMA show. Too bad. |

If you slink this up with a "Green Onions" backbeat, you've got the same lyric theme, the same double-time singing at the end of verses.... I guess I'm just tired of music (and SONG LYRICS) that sound like they were crafted entirely to emulate some "type" and extract money from a chosen demographic. Carrie is the appointed Danger Girl, Gretchen is the Party Girl, Taylor is the Dewey Young One, Brad P. is the "guy who loves his girl even though she's weird", Toby K. is the Patriotic Drunk.... These songs aren't ABOUT anything. 
Oh wait - it takes old hippies like Robert Plant & Bonnie Raitt to find good material, and god forbid you play anything on the radio that requires attention for more than a single verse. It requires the attention span of a gnat to like this stuff. |

Let's be fair. How many tunes are based on Wild Side of Life. It's all a big game, and I don't like it either.
Carrie's a very pretty girl, got a good voice, and the package they're selling right now. Tammy, Connie, etc.... had that covered too.
Look at the singer Susan Boyles from UK. Great singer, but I said it several months ago, they will use her as a novelty, and look where's she's at now.
Sad, but from my seat, it's appears to be true.

| Rick, I got an e-mail about Jack Cooke (bass player for Ralph Stanley) passing. I thought you might know him. I'm not that good on this computer, but if you will e-mail me I will send you what info I got. I don't mean to take away from this thread, and I apoagize for that, but I don't know how to do it any other way. guitarmandoyle@hotmail.com |
