In the Party Rock Anthem video, it does amuse me how LMFAO essentially put ear plugs in to stop themselves from having to listen to their own song. For a long time I felt like I was doing the same, trying not to let this catchy little number infiltrate my mind and get me bopping along too. However it was only a matter of time before I succumbed to the track. The thing is you've just got to appreciate it for what it is; a song to go out and party to. Judging by how much time I was spending in the library revising for my exams around the time of its release, this probably influenced the song's appeal for me.
I do love how the track builds up and gets more infectious as the six minute video progresses. The stand out moment for me is when Lauren Bennett provides a nice vocal contribution toward the end of the track. Although she is simply telling us to 'Get up and get down' and to put our hands up, it really help the track from becoming a bit too monotonous.
However, my least favourite element has to be the 'shuffling' breakdown. Why all of a sudden in 2011 did artists think it was ok for them to replace an epic chorus with 30 seconds of shuffling time? Both Britney and Rihanna have tried it, but I do hope this trend isn't going to continue for too much longer. Overall though, this is a minor objection compared with about with what was to follow... No LMFAO you are NOT SEXY despite thinking you know it, and that video is rather repulsive.
