Every now and then you hear songs which regardless of whether you like them or not you know are hits. They usually fall into one of two categories, extremely catchy, or extremely annoying. And regardless of how catchy the song is you know it’ll eventually be thrashed to the point that all that lovely catchiness is gone and all thats left is annoyance. Then after a couple years pass you can pull the song back out for nostalgia purposes and reminisce about how rude you were back in the day.

This gem by Sean Kingston is one such song. The backpacker inside me wants to hate on it for sampling something as obvious as ‘Stand by me’, yet the chorus is just undeniable to my Samoan genes. I get visions of uncle’s singin’ Dr Hook – ‘When you’re in love with a beautiful woman’ and people dancin’ to Four Seasons - ‘Oh what a night’ soon as I hear this shit. Fob favourite status!

p.s song is worth listenin to just to laugh at Sheek Louch’s poor effort on the raps.

Slick Van XL played me this T Pain song in the car and I uttered the words ‘I hate T Pain’. 3.5 minutes later I was track skipping backwards on the iPod for the repeat. This song also gets the WIN for the fact you can sing along to it without ever having heard it before.
The joy of repetition.
