On a slow news day, the BBC "reports" some rules about a summer hit tune. In summary:

  1. It has to be simple.
  2. It should make you feel like you're on holiday.
  3. Novelty is everything.
  4. Radio-friendly songs make bigger hits.
  5. It should be released before the summer.
  6. But it should have the word "summer" in the title.

If simplicity and novelty are the most important then this summer's hit could be Beep! Beep! I'm A Sheep!

    The +1 informative on this made me think of a couple of skinny fuckers in a starbucks carefully analyzing rap stating "why yes, this is a rap, would use for masturbation timing. 2/10" in the most offensive loser comic book guy voice I could mimic at the time.

    People's ideas of what hiphop is are still embarrassingly [youtube.com] white bread and underexposed [youtube.com]. Which is great because failing to acknowledge its place in culture sure makes murika great again hm?
