I'll be honest: I didn't understand why the world was going absolutely crazy over Justin Timberlake's latest pop smash. That was until I heard it for the 487th time in my car last night and just said to myself: "Ok.. This song is damn catchy." In a quest to figure out why I didn't understand this pop phenomena until recently, I had a conversation with my musical counterpart in New York - Emily.
nathanielxc: thoughts. on sexyback. go.
p0serific: love it. electroclash.
nathanielxc: did you like it at first?
p0serific: yes!
nathanielxc: damnit. i hated it until last night.
p0serific: i like a strong beat. girls are biologically wired to love sexyback.
nathanielxc: ok, so it's due to a dismal amount of estrogen in my bloodstream. fair enough. so i guess this makes him appealing for being a boy band heart throb turned dance floor sex panther?!
p0serific: he is just very sexual in kind of a raw way. it's like... he's a bad boy who looks good. he's bad because he wants to be. i don't know.
p0serific: what a fox.
nathanielxc: haha. aside from my biological makeup, i think it was the fact that his voice (which i actually like) is incredibly distorted and he just talk/raps for most of the song. plus, does anyone else not find it strange that a guy just pulled the line, "i'll let you whip me if i misbehave."
nathanielxc: does that not seem weird to anyone but me?! that's the sort of line found on shirts that 13 year-old girls buy from wal-mart.
p0serific: hahaha. no, confident guys will say things that excite them & their partners. and no one said anything because everyone loves justin. duh.
nathanielxc: but..
p0serific: justin is cocky, but boyish. girls love that.
p0serific: justin can dance. girls love that.
p0serific: justin finally got a synthesizer. girls love that.
p0serific: just give in.
nathanielxc: fine. the whip line still gets -2 points.
While I wasn't "biologically wired" to love "SexyBack" it took some time for me to come around to the pop smash. It wasn't like Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy" where it was instanteous adoration followed by 439875 covers from every band on the planet. While I've yet to hear a cover of "SexyBack", I'm gonna bet there'll be a slew of them popping up in no time. Until then - there is only this terrific parody sparked by the Britney-Justin relationship that is guranteed to make you laugh.

More Moron Life song parody's on their MySpace.
Buy FutureSex/LoveSounds - it really is a great album. No matter how much estrogen you have.

and I still don't like Justin or that song..it's..i don't know...just nope, I don't like it...
that song with the electro bit at the end is amazing! It sounds like something that would come from a mint electronic prog band or something, hah.
I'll pay you NOT to ever post that terrible MoronLife track ever again.
The lyrics ARE bad. The point isn't that he can get away with it, it's that he needs to compensate with production/appearance and other things to cover up the fact that the lyrics are nothing.
Plenty of females, including myself, can't stand Justin Timberlake/his image/his music. p.s. He looks like "the grinch" in that picture.
Apparently my feminity is failing me, because I just don't get it.
The song or Justin himself.
Hate it!
Damn It! I have been successfully avoiding this song all summer. Then you come along with hyour pithy anecdote, I download it, and FUUUUUUCKKK, I found myself grooving on it all day yesterday.
Shit.
its not too bad - love a good fuzzy synth pop song :)
that said, i do like his track "My Love"
the album version is alright but the linuslove remix makes it killer. less shitty.
I'm sure it's still up on hype machine.

come on! i mean, your nyrker girly friend can say whatever.... this song sucks big time, just as you would expect of a puppet like JT.
the sound claims to jump into the hype generated by reaggeton and hard dancehall vybes, and the likes of dizzy rascal. yet is far too clean of a sound to be really diggin' it.
if you're looking for a more refined yet true sound with hard synth and that shit check Low Deep out.
Hey! Thanks for pimping BritneyBack! We really appreciate the press, cause we can use all we get.
Hope you got alot of money from Anonymous for not posting it again, though. :)
