Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen - Good Time

Even though I've always despised Owl City from making it big out of a watered down rip off of a beloved indie favourite, I've never had that much of a problem with most of his music. If not for the irritating vocals, I could easily listen to an album in the background. Even "Fireflies"(!) despite its flaws, at least was somewhat refreshing as a chart hit.

This does not have that benefit. Musically Owl City manages to one-up himself, and create a watered down, boring version of his own music! And then the song is basically a rush through verses as quickly as possible to allow time for more 'whoa-oh-oh-ohs, and frequent assertions that it is indeed, always a good time. I haven't even heard this song that many times and I'm already sick of it.

I suppose it's not the worst thing around but it irritates the heck out of me. I will give it the positive note that it does show that people can be too quick to the one hit wonder label, and it's quite interesting that it is a hit.
