Bad songs go bad

What do drunken Yale girls want on Saturday at 1 a.m. nearly as much as Yorkside pizza and/or cock? To dance, of course! What do their plastered male counterparts desire? In many cases, sloppy chicks/other men rubbing up on their genitals — to a beat! Sadly, too many weekend dance parties, particularly those of the dorm variety, feature flaccid sound tracks. This sub-music, from such luminaries as Drake and Jay Sean, could make sober ears bleed and sober minds seek lobotomies.
If you’re going to throw a dance party, it is your civic duty to play dance-able music. But don’t just hop...

no no no, i agree on all them.
except for Cobra Starship,
the reason why they make music,
IS to make people dance.
but i understand your thoughts.
fangs up, and good day.

Girrrrrl.
You just dissed Cobra Starship with your half assed attempt at comedic journalism! Shame on you for both! I thought Yale was supposed to spit out intelligent young working students - not ones whose attempts to make their article work include using the word "cock" within the first paragraph.

You're obviously one of the classy Yale girls who maybe didn't get enough cock last weekend.

Cheers, and please - learn how to write.

Considering you want to replace most of this music with songs featuring Akon, I'm going to have to dismiss your musical opinion as crap. He's the drudge of the music world, only a rung above Soulja Boy.

Damn, who died and made you think you knew music? Keep you're opinions to yourself. Sure certain songs are over played every hour on the hour, but if you don't like it be like me and DON'T listen to the effing radio.

Get a brain.

I would feel bad for you for all the bad comments, but you weren't exactly kind to the artists themselves either. People have different taste in music and to dismiss people/works as "overweight mediocrity" or "unimaginative piece of overproduced ’90s refuse" or "lackluster racket" is no way to get anyone's respect. In fact, it just makes you sound like a teenager going through a ~rebellious~ phase.

The fact that of all the songs, you stuck with Miley Cyrus, didn't help.

Down with the haters, young jedi skywalked it. Desiree and 42 both write like trolls.

I gotta agree with Desiree. Cheap shots with gratuitous sexual references. I expected better.
