Were it not for THAT opening I could kinda see the video as simply a deliberately skeevy Fire Walk With Me homage and shrug it off. And yet...

OMG thank u for the Kimdotcom tip, wau
just got back from NZ and that dude was everywhere
his album of lol/posi-core self-help bangerz is chillingly "on message" throughout, amazing

I can't believe I'm going to say this out loud, but ... there's something that I kinda like about Rude. I think it's mostly his voice, and I find the melody appealing. The white-boy reggae is regrettable, certainly.
Plus I kinda feel bad for him! He puts on his best suit and goes to ask her dad about marrying his daughter, and he seems sincere ... dad seems like a jerk.

What are the qualifiers for being white-boy reggae?
― Iain Mew (if), Thursday, 30 January 2014 08:48 (ten years ago) link
Asking because seeing the descriptor used so much for a group led by someome who isn't a white boy made me wonder. I wouldn't have used it.
Also I hate the song and think he's the one who comes off as more of a jerk thanks to some of the phrasing ('have your daughter'?)

Exactly this. At 0:05 I was thinking "Shit, what can happen in the next two seconds?" Crazy that someone would sabotage their own song in this way.

That Kim "Dotcom" Schmitz album sounds like stereotypical German Techno music sometimes but is not that horrible
― DDD, Thursday, 30 January 2014 11:10 (ten years ago) link
yeah, the music is competent and hitting the target that it's going for, I think it's just the KimDotCom-ness of it all that amazes me- it's got this manic positivity selfhelp vibe that is really funny to me- dude is so shameless- but yeah, it's not like miles away from, say, the Schlager-Techno of DJ Scooter or something:

Kim Dotcom reaching out to literally every media outlet available to raise awareness about net neutrality and his cause is more desperate than shameless - he was pretty secretive before the Megaupload bust.

Hey, Timber Timbre, Richard Hawley wants his song back, just so he can write a better lyric.*

oh god that is really bad
the line about "desperation" leaps out of the video and side-eyes the whole song surrounding it and reads it to filth
the real desperation is the music industry desperately trying to comment upon the triumph of social media, as if it were still some kind of older/wiser/truer aesthetically rocksolid platform in some kind of secure position to judge this new upstart- but when it comes up with garbage like this it only reifies its own insecurity and looks even more "tryhard"

is billy ray cyrus one of those hollywood parents that lives vicariously through, or rides the coattails of, his daughter's career? this video (which generally seems kinda desperate) playing-up the "twerking" thing is creepy.

Outstays its welcome, but better than "Punk Rock 101," and at least not totally underwritten lyrically. Should have mixed up the chorus a bit more, and the video isn't funny enough.
