I find it "quite likeable", hence the 7.

I like this song because it's distinct. It makes me want to get up and do some interpretive serpentine dance... But it doesn't appeal to everyone, that's clear.  |

Simple does not mean bad, or simplistic.

Worst track ever to appear on RP? And it does not improve on repeated playing!

Sweet...I now have my reaction time down to just under a half second to hit my mute button when this little ditty comes on.
Hopefully with time, it will improve.

I still think this is good! Very moody, rhythmic, and tuneful. And not something one hears every day (unless one has access to all-world-all-the-time music.) I love it. And once I get my ballet bar mounted and some flooring under it, I'll be listening to this as part of my warm-up routine.

Love love love it. Goes right to the heart & soul of one. Stop the trash talking If you don't like it - go elsewhere & listen to something else. Sheesh- everyone's a critic.

The fact that a significant portion of the RP audience enjoys this music would seem to indicate that the song is not totally bad, and not _fundamentally_ annoying. There may be some aspect of it that annoys a certain segment of the population (yourself included), but if it were fundamentally and totally bad it would, by definition, appeal to no-one. I grant you that there exists a certain fringe group of contrarians who would probably like something fundamentally bad, despite or because of its badness, but the popularity of this song goes well beyond the kind of numbers that would fall into this range. That you don't like this song is your business, but I would encourage you to reflect on the fact that people have strongly varying tastes, and artistic work can have merit despite your inability to appreciate it. |

Redundant? This is a pretty minimal recording with very little instrumentation. I assume you mean "repetitive"; the two words have somewhat different meanings, despite their misuse these days. This tune has plenty of "musical emotion" as well; I guess just not the sort of emotion you were in the mood for. |

Why do the dullest songs go on the longest? Sounds like a school orchestra's first rehearsal. |
