Four Items Of Note About Soulja Boy’s New Single
• The song is called “iDance.” Not “I Dance.” (And the album it’s on will be called iSouljaBoy, not, as I thought when I was told about it last night, I, Soulja Boy. The latter sounds a lot more majestic, I have to say.)
• The kids now use “YouTube” as a verb. Given that the song’s title is spelled “iDance,” I’m guessing that S.B. means to also say “iYouTube,” a bit of grammatically horrifying cross-purpose branding that is no doubt already giving Apple and Google’s marketing teams a collective iHeadache.
• The song features the line “guess who’s not a one-hit wonder.” Yooooooouuu keep telling yourself that, kid.
• But it’s pretty much just an electro remix of “Crank That,” complete with steel-drum beat, “Yoouuuuuuu”s, and references to Supermanning that ho. [YouTube]
