The first BuyMeGetMe theme song?
Posted in This Just In... on September 23rd, 2009 by gkrakow
Listening to WFUV, late last night, I heard a song – actually the repeating, background chorus of a song – that might well serve this Website as a theme song of sorts.
The name of the song is “Hold the Line featuring Mr. Lex and Santigold”.
It is performed by the group Major Lazer on their recently released album “Guns Don’t Kill People… Lazers Do.”
According to Amazon.com, Major Lazer is the Grammy-nominated super producer duo of Diplo and Switch, best known for their work with M.I.A and the hit ‘Paper Planes’, as well as production work for the likes of Santogold, Amanda Blank, Bondo do Role and Tricky. That should clear everything up for you.
Their MySpace page, calls Major Lazer a “Digital Reggae” group who make “Reggae/Americana/Black Metal” music.
Their stuff is terrific. In descriptive language of my era: “It’s got a good beat – and you can dance to it.”
One warning though – the music is not even close to being “G-rated”. The album does carry a “Parental Advisory -EXPLICIT” warning.
The reason I got excited about the song is the chorus. I could swear they’re singing “BUY ME – GET” which is a sentiment close to my heart.
Listen on MySpace or watch the video on YouTube and tell me what you think about this upbeat ditty (apart from the explicit stuff).
