I empathise with this. When I was a kid, I didn't know the wonders of Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V, and so compared to the torture of typing 'pepperoni pizza' over and over again, 'coinage' was a breeze. I always had enough gold.<br><br>This song is my favourite thing about "Uptown Funk". The fact that alongside digging up old disco & funk records for inspiration, someone there was instead listening to this and thought there was something to get from it. I love the fact that Mark Ronson gave Trinidad James a shoutout in his BRIT Award acceptance speech.<br><br>They take the best thing from the song (well apart from the fascinating 'GOLE' pronunciation) though. The problem with this is how the song is arranged. It has the hook a few times at the start, an endless verse and then the hook is back at the end. This song goes barely over 3 minutes long, but the iTunes preview manages to cover just about the entire middle verse and none of the hook (don't believe me? J listen). I can't imagine it's a strong selling tactic. Sadly, though he has some amusing lines here and there, it makes the song something of a chore to sift through. 3.2 |
