Almost Career Suicide
Spyke
Originally leaking at the start of June, when I played it to my friend Jacqui we were convinced it was some kind of joke. Many speculated about the sample which sounded just SO familiar, which actually came from Iko Iko. Judging by what they were trying to do with the first attempt of the music video (above) I don't think you'd have been judged for thinking they were just trying to see how quickly they could completely destroy her career. With Alexandra this featured another unnecessary artist in the form of Laza Morgan who adds absolutely nothing to the record bar some inaudible rapping.
Leaving it even longer, between leak and release, than even JLS tend to - three months later this was released and spent two whole weeks atop our charts (robbing Teenage Dream of the position), ending what was beginning to look like a endless list of one week #1s. This is definitely THE most annoying song of 2010, whilst working before my return to Uni this was played at least hourly in the restaurant. It is catchy but literally it's the last thing you want stuck in your head when you're trying to get to sleep.
It's a shame this didn't get a Brit Award nomination for 'Single Of The Year' over All Night Long as it really would epitimize what a dire selection of songs we've got to choose from (bar Dynamite and Pass Out, the latter of which will probably win).
