Robin S. "Show Me Love" = Jason Derulo "Don't Wanna Go Home" 2011

Re: Robin S. "Show Me Love" = Jason Derulo "Don't Wanna Go Home" 2011

It's a tad better than some of the other stuff radio plays.

I don't think an actual Robin S. type song would even see the light of day today on radio.
BUT, put a little rapish or "whatever" slant over a Dance beat, and they can't get enough of it.
The two faces of radio.

If you have to go with something for the 21st Century, here it is....been out for 3 years or so but still works, especially the remixes in some of the NJ clubs.

I could not resist the growing temptation to say something here, and I swear I diligently tried! I wasn't going to bring this song / topic up, but since the topic has already been brought up anyway, I might as well take advantage of this appropriate time to let out this secret "don't wanna go home" rant I've been intentionally holding in for weeks.

Here it goes:
I have to admit that in this case, I truly believe Beyonce was a lyrical genius on "run the world" in comparison to whoever arranged the lyrics in this Jason Derulo song ... (http://boards.radio-info.com/smf/index.php?topic=190001.0). I thought that maybe I was the only one who thought it was super-dumb, but the other day, I was at my best friend's house when "don't wanna go home" came on the radio, and his immediate subconscious reaction was to say, "What the ---- is this?". As a musician who loves true meaningful lyrics amongst other things in music, he despises anything with horrible lyrics or any bad production, period. He's actually pickier than me when it comes to that.

I did receive a promo 2 Step remix of "Don't wanna go home" in my email from a London producer that sounded pretty well, but unfortunately, he included the lyrics on the remixed instrumental!  :mad:

Jason Derulo really isn't a bad artist at all (as I explained to my best friend of 25+ years..). But I have absolutely no idea what he was thinking while lyrically putting that song together.

Armand Van Helden - Funk Phenomena
Alice Deejay - Better off alone
Duck Sauce - Barbra Streisand
Daft Punk - Around the world

What do all these songs have in common? They couldn't think of anything better to say in those songs, so they didn't even waste time attempting to just throw a bunch of silly lyrics together to fill up an instrumental. As a result, they all ended up making music 87% times better and more lyrically meaningful than "don't wanna go home". The overall instrumental production of "don't wanna go home" itself doesn't necessarily sound bad, though.

Both sound actually good. Its funny watching today kids hear it and think its a new song. Same thing happen at my niece birthday party over the weekend when we played She Aint You by Chris Brown. Knowing the kiddies they think its the best song ever made. Too bad it was already remix by SWV years ago. Kids are funny. LOL ::) I miss those days. But Robin S verison is the best. KDAY here in Los Angeles will play it every now and then. Its on my ipod too great workout song.
