Crap

Have your heard of that super-chain of compilation CD's called NOW! That's What I Call Music? Well, I think that whoever picks out that music sure does an insanely terrible job.

I was in the store the other day, and I found the entire NOW! section of CD's. They had NOW That's What I Call Music: Volume 954 sitting right above NOW That's What I Call FAITH and, my personal favorite NOW That's What I Call POWER BALLADS.

Well, I call them ALL crap.

Seriously?! The latest edition of this crappy compilation (Now 33) includes a song with misspelled words in the title that's sung by a girl with a dollar sign in her name.

Really? Read that last sentence again... Just do it.

Sometimes, you don't even need to listen to a song to know that it's terrible, and "TiK ToK" by Ke$ha is a prime example of this. I don't need to dumb myself down by listening to a girl that obviously TyPeS lIkE tHiS. I feel my IQ dropping as I type.

Also, this album artwork has some sort of butterfly all over it... Which I feel is really appropriate because something tells me that people who buy this crap MIGHT just have a butterfly tattoo in the small of their back. Yes, I went there. I probably just called some of you out, and I don't care.

There's also a song on this CD about being drunk and calling someone up because "you're lonely." We all know what that means...BOOTY CALL! Girl, just call it a booty call and get off your high horse, Lady Antebellum. We've all heard someone say at 1:15am that I "Need You Now," and nothing good ever comes from it.
