Can you spot the original?
Admittedly out of the loop when it comes to pop music, I had never heard this song until quite recently. And actually if it wasn't for the parodies of the original that I watched first, I would never have known about Ke$ha's Tik Tok, a lovely ditty about the glamorous life of an alcoholic, who upon waking in a bath tub after a late-night bender, proceeds to brush her teeth with a bottle of "Jack"-- Daniels that is. The rest of the song basically describes how this young woman is ready to "hit the city" in search of the next wild party- which the song tells us won't start until she arrives-- boys, and more puking, I'm guessing. I know she's supposed to be a fun party girl who is not going to let anyone or anything come between her and her quest for booze, sex, and over-all fun party time. Right! The song parodies itself, unintentionally I'm sure, but that doesn't mean the parodies aren't as good, if not better than the original.
Even better than the real thing? Me thinks so.
Keepin' it real... Hilarious!
