Really, are we this obvious?

Well yeah, but it’s not like Polow da Don left us much of a choice. Those cheap-sounding vibrating synths,  kind of like slowed-down trance music, made the perfect sleazy digitalized backdrop for Usher to proclaim how damn horny he is. What takes the song up another level (from the already vertigo-inducing heights we’re at) is how Usher’s vocals sound both aroused and melancholic at the same time. Who else in the world can pull that off? Not Celine Dion, that’s for sure.

Granted, the beat was essentially two readymade loops from the computer program Garageband, and the lyrics are about how Usher wants to pull his thing out on the dancefloor. But isn’t that a testament to how friggin great this song really is, that despite the borrowed beat and scandalous singing, nobody really cared?

Everybody just danced. In slow motion.
