My wife played the current number one song on Billboard’s Hot 100 for me today, because she “thought it would make [me] mad.” The song is Ke$ha’s ‘Tik Tok,’ and she was right, primarily because I was dumbfounded by how glaringly it rips off Uffie’s ‘The Party‘ (Or more specifically, the Justice remix which I am familiar with).

Consulting Google (“Uffie Kesha Rip”) and Twitter (“Uffie Kesha”) searches, everyone agrees.

The one thing I didn’t turn up in my quick searches was a Ke$ha / Uffie / Justice mashup, which seems so obvious. Here’s my 30 minute effort (MP3). Bravo, self, bravo.

And for comparison, a bit of the real Uffie song…

It’s that first part that is just shameless.

Zach Curd points out that this is a “thing” now – as he put it: “the kind of ‘I’m a bratty girl’ singspeak.” As proof he passed along this music video which has convinced me the world is over. That is all.

i completely agree!
whenever i hear that song and blurt out some remark like, “omg, uffie rip off!” everyone around me has no idea what im talking about. im happy to have found someone with some pop-culture brains!
also, your documentation of working at barnes and noble was awesome. im thinking about working there, and your stories reminded me of the amusing (and not so amusing) shit that occured in past jobs.
i look forward to seeing more of your blog in the future!
