why am i now learning that people hated karmin 😭 i loved them as a kid

hellaholla.bsky.social•3 days ago

You were a kid. You’re not to blame.

I do not think I have ever heard this song before

If I ever become president, I'm putting up a giant picture of Janelle Monáe next to a sign that reads, "You must be THIS likable and/or talented to pull off a quirky neo-50's look."

I've never heard anything more 2011 before.

What is it with white women who think they can rap and jerking their heads around like they're trying to snap their own necks

rowanacrump.bsky.social•4 days ago

A performance so bad that Jerry Lewis would say 'You know what....fuck those kids.'

There's a reason she flopped and went through a rebrand.

aconstantwip.bsky.social•9 days ago

they look like they put hashtags in their facebook posts before that was a function

thesamthegraff.bsky.social•8 days ago

There was a point where Amy Noonan (the girl in this video) initially rebranded as "Qveen Herby" where she really fueled some blackfishing allegations while simultaneously embracing more straightforward hip-hop. That's what I remember about them!

adequateemily.bsky.social•9 days ago

I genuinely think the Black Sheep sample might be the only thing I ever remembered about this song.

To make it even worse, he’s also dressed like a preteen actor from a Disney Channel sitcom that debuted slightly after I got too old to watch the Disney Channel

mjolna.bsky.social•9 days ago

are the lines when she's doing the robot like, a syllable short, why is the dude even there am I supposed to believe he's part of the vocal arrangement???

electrichead.bsky.social•9 days ago

He's doing like... An old timey carnival barker pantomime? I'm not sure how else to describe whatever that is.

gayhousecat.bsky.social•9 days ago

Holy shit! Is that Qveen Herby?! Hah! That's adorable

cacophonysessions.bsky.social•8 days ago

It’s giving ‘How I Met Your Mother’ fake song energy.

Me to the kids: "We're past worrying about cringe. Be as a cringe as you want"

"Oh wait. No, stop."

thewoodmasta.bsky.social•9 days ago

And now you takin' her to every res-tur-ANT

musicvideotime.bsky.social•9 days ago

I had to look them up because I did not think this was a well known band. I can't believe these are the same people who made that "Brokenhearted" song where that woman kept ending the chorus with "cheerio". That unlocked something in my head for the wrong reasons.

phantasmajones.net•9 days ago

as someone who is firmly millennial-aged, when i see or use "millennial" as a pejorative, this vibe is what i am envisioning

phantamsam.bsky.social•9 days ago

They give big “doing rap covers on a ukulele” vibes

inthewoodsstudio.bsky.social•9 days ago

And future "singing apologies on a ukulele" vibes.

baddiebaphomet.bsky.social•9 days ago

I mean no ukulele involved but that basically is their origin story

pkbutter.bsky.social•8 days ago

of course it was a fucking chris brown song

mkultramagnus.bsky.social•8 days ago

I could have sworn these two had more than one hit, but no. This song and "Hello," where they interpolate Smells Like Teen Spirit, failed to crack the Top 40.

Todd, do you dare feature them on OHW?

mkultramagnus.bsky.social•8 days ago

She's still at it.

mkultramagnus.bsky.social•8 days ago

She even does "rapper mentions they're a one-hit wonder in a less successful song" trope.

char0lastra.bsky.social•8 days ago

I completely missed this one. Must've been too distracted by Rebecca Black's "Friday" to notice

addoman.bsky.social•9 days ago

Possibly the most millennial music act ever

deadinthefoam.bsky.social•8 days ago

wait. wait are these the guys who did that nirvana interpretation..

itsthomash.bsky.social•9 days ago

One of the early-ish examples of You Tube acts attempting to crossover into the mainstream music industry

botriley.bsky.social•9 days ago

I swear I thought the dude was matpat

maxhubrex.bsky.social•9 days ago

I will defend this band, who I firmly believe made good and interesting stuff in their post-YouTube era, but this. I will not defend this.

llbroadwell.bsky.social•9 days ago

The thing is that the concept is actually decent, but the execution is terrible. There's no energy to it.

heywaitaminit.bsky.social•8 days ago

Eww. I was eating lunch and that just put me off my McChicken.

hellaholla.bsky.social•3 days ago

As I put it at the time, there will one day be a small room in hell where the dude from LMFAO and the girl from Karmin will shout “I WORK AY-OUT” and “KISS my OHmiGOD” at each other for eternity. 🔥
