A video like this is not on top because of artistic talent, danceability, or anything of that nature. It has a skantily glad woman gyrating to lame bubble gum pop (which coincidentally appeals to everyone secretly until the age of 19 - yes even the goth kids, but with them it is more of a self loathing thing-)

For the record, "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy" is a great song, but only when performed by Mike Myers in So I Married An Axe Murderer.

1. Using the Rod Stewart hook. Back in the day that song was hated both by people who liked and people who hated disco. Why was it a hit? PAYOLA. It was Rod Stewart's defining "I AM A GIANT VAGINA" moment. If you're going to bite a sample, bite something good, like Patrice Rushen.

2. The girl sings consistently flat all the way through. Whatever you think of old school disco, it was made by people who could actually sing and play. Are the producers too cheap to run her through Autotune, or just tone deaf?

3. Stupid pause at the end of the loop. Their Sound Forge skills are weak.

4. Too slow to dance to. WTF -- can't she sing fast enough?

5. Gratuitous quote of the lyrics from Chic's "Good Times" stuck into a really lame rap break.

This track makes me think that every record company has a Department of Music That Just Plain Sucks, because there's no excuse for slime like this.
