I never paid much attention to this last August, when it peaked at #40 on the alternative chart. However, I really started to love this after I heard "I'm Shakin'" and picked up Rooney's album. I wish it had gotten more exposure. Maybe it was a little too old fashioned sounding. I thought it sounded kind of like the Beach Boys in the chorus especially.

First, I just want to say that I think there should be an unwritten accepted cut-off for putting songs in here. Like, maybe 18 months or so. This just seems too recent to be in here. But that's just me, and I'm most likely in the minority in this case.
As for this song, I thought this was really mediocre. I mean it's obvious they're influenced by the Beach Boys, but they don't really try to expand on the sound. In fact, they really don't do anything original to their sound. That said, this was a little catchy, but not enough for me to get into it.
Plus, I thought the music video for this was extremely pompous. It's like "Well, we sound like the Beach Boys, so let's perform our song on the beach!" And it's not even like they try to do anything there, they just stand there and perform. Plus I hated how they had to list each band member and they're respective instruments. Like they're trying to shove themselves into the viewers' faces as much as possible. And then they end the video with they're cheesy logo appearing on the screen, as if it's "Look! This video was done by Rooney!". Unequivocably one of the worst videos of the decade.

Lol. I was with the song, though. A lot more than "I'm Shakin'", at least.

But that's just me, and I'm most likely in the minority in this case. I can definitely see your point, but it kinda fits more in here than in the "YOP" section. I'd say that if a song is older than this board (~6 months), it's fine to put in here. Plus, I thought the music video for this was extremely pompous. It's like "Well, we sound like the Beach Boys, so let's perform our song on the beach!" And it's not even like they try to do anything there, they just stand there and perform.

Yeah, I hated that logo crap too. I guess you haven't seen the "I'm Shakin'" video though, that's not too special either. I didn't dislike this, but I like "I'm Shakin'" a lot more. |
