Guilty Pleasure

Seeing as how I have lost what was left of my indie cred at the Husky Crawl last week, I thought I would post about my latest "Guilty Pleasure".

Lately, I have been listening ot Bodyrockers - The Way You Move. This whole track is wholly unoriginal in many ways. First of all, the lyrics sound like they were written by a 6th grader about his first crush.


There's so many things i like about you, I..
I just don't know where to begin,

I like the way you, look at me with those beautiful eyes,
I like the way you, act all surprised,
I like the way you, sing along,
I like the way you, always get it wrong,
I like the way you, clap your hands,
I like the way you, love to dance,
I like the way you, put your hands up in the air,
I like the way you, shake your hair,
I like the way you, like to touch,
I like the way you, stare so much,
but most of all....

Yeah..
most of all....

I like the way you move.....
I like the way you move.....

I like the way you, put your hands up in the air,
I like the way you, shake your hair,
I like the way you, like to touch,
I like the way you, stare so much,
but most of all....
Yeah..

most of all....

I like the way you move.....
I like the way you move.....

I like the way you, put your hands up in the air,
I like the way you, shake your hair,
I like the way you, like to touch,
I like the way you, stare so much,
but most of all....

Yeah..
most of all....

I like the way you move!

Also, the singer reminds me of Günther, who I find very disturbing.

But most of all, the main reason this is a guilty pleasure and really just a horrible song is that the whole melody is a direct rip-off of "He's A Dream" by Shandi Sinnamon, also known as the theme from Flashdance. I like "He's a Dream"; I think it's a great song. Bodyrockers simply copied it without giving credit.

I also listened to other tracks from the album and realized that most of the melodies are variations on this one single.

But although this song is wholly unoriginal, it is well executed and catchy as hell, so I'm just can't keep myself from listening to it. This is why this is my guilty pleasure.
