No. 37: Lloyd Skips Across The Dance-Pop Decades
Because old heads and youngsters alike were just waiting for the worlds of TRL and Club MTV to finally come together.
So I spent the summer and the fall walking around with the twinkly glide of “Get It Shawty” on my iPod, driving myself batshit trying to figure out the provenance of the hook until (taking pity on me) Maura finally said: “It’s Technotronic, stupid.” Oh. Right. So it’s “Pump Up The Jam” all smoothed out, but with a crunchy mid-tempo rhythm track that’s more hips than house and wicked layered vocal harmonies drifting through the back of the mix. But Lloyd, while your horny effervescence makes me wish I was also young and doing wheelies on what I assume is a bridge in the middle of a desert, your hairstylist needs a talking to.
