Some Second Hand Fun...

Ke$ha - Tik Tok

A friend of mine sent me an iTunes link to listen to Tik Tok a while back. Little did I know I had already dowloaded the song and while I thought it was a little catchy, I discounted it. Then I heard it again while watching the new Melrose Place. After that...it kind of stuck.

For some reason, I have no idea why, I just love the line, "Before I leave, brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack." I don't drink much, and I certainly don't drink Jack. But it's just funny to imagine a person doing that.

Tik Tok is a great party song. It's the kind of song that gets everyone moving and can get you in a really fun mood. It's the type of song that you'd listen to while you were getting ready to go out. Tik Tok can set the stage and get you pumped up. I just imagine a bunch of friends driving around at night in L.A. listening to this song. The track has a hint of urban, a hint of electro and a hint of pop. It's urban-electro-pop trash that's works pretty well.

Now, do I think this is a song that we'll be listening to several years from now? Probably not. And do I think that Ke$ha has a long solo career ahead of her? I'm not so sure about that based on Tik Tok and the other song of hers I heard on Melrose Place called Boots and Boys. For now though, we'll enjoy Tik Tok; it's plenty fun and worth having.

And while her solo career may be unlcear, Ke$ha has certainly made a career of guesting on records - Flo Rida's Round Round, Pitbull's Girls and Taio Cruz's upcoming UK single Dirty Picture. So at least she's got that just in case. In the meantime, Tik Tok seems to be working pretty well so far. At the time this is being written, Tik Tok is up to #55 on the Billboard Hot 100. I didn't see it in the Club Play chart yet, but I have a feeling that is coming.
