Radio.com alternative pick of the week. This was an favorite on Alt Nation from August, so I'm surpised they latched onto this now since they usually pick newer tracks.

Radio.com alternative pick of the week. This was an favorite on Alt Nation from August, so I'm surpised they latched onto this now since they usually pick newer tracks. It doesn't even have any traction streaming - 1 million streams is nothing to sneeze at but that's usually too low for Entercom. I have to figure it's some sort of "slim pickings" thing. Kings of Leon is reliable but they've been around for a while and Entercom playlists tend to pretend that the band was a two-hit wonder. They might be old enough to get the "brick wall" treatment from the company. Dayglow wasn't ready to go when they probably made their decision on the pick. MOD SUN was probably a step too far due to the Avril feature - though MOD SUN yelling for half of the song probably didn't help. Deftones and Chevelle are too loud. Frances Forever they probably figured lacked a good enough hook - though if the song keeps exploding in popularity they might try it out anyway. Duran Duran is not only old but they're covering a David Bowie song that originally released in 1972. We're talking the exact opposite in what the Entercom powers that be want here. The Neighbourhood has a rep of being a one-hit wonder - we'll see if "Stargazing" hitting the Viral Top 50 on Spotify will override those assumptions. But it wasn't in time when they made the Pick I think. Beach Bunny: Honestly I don't have an answer for them getting passed over. They'd be a really good choice - unless they felt "Good Girls (Don't Get Used)" was too similar to last week's Pick, "fake friend". So yeah them going back to August for a song isn't that shocking considering how few songs that fit their criteria (that haven't already been picked) are out there. |

He's signed to Interscope and they are handling the promotion of the song, which has been added to PlayIGA's site.

It's a shame this is as stupid as stupid gets because the music wasn't all that bad. The lyrics are a big wall of turd.

I didn't really pay any mind to the lyrics because it was pretty obvious when the first line in verse was "She made me bacon, I made her toast" that it wasn't a song to take seriously lyrically at all lol. It's definitely a song you listen to strictly because you like it musically, not for the lyrics. |

The background melody in this song sounds like the melody of "Home" by Philip Phillips with 2 extra notes added.
