Why is this thread always super active when I'm asleep?
Oh, well. At least this wonderful song made it to the finals!

Ex's and Oh's - Elle King
"This was the big sleeper hit of 2015. I actually heard it the year before on an alternative station, like more than a year ago. I was like, 'oh, that's interesting,' and I forgot about it completely. And then, it just kinda kept getting bigger and bigger. And it was one of those songs that was okay the first time I heard it, but great by the hundredth.
I can't deny that part of what I like about the song is just the novelty. Like, in a world of trap beats, it's nice to hear a good fuzz guitar solo pop up. I mean, it's certainly not the most original sound; it basically sounds like Amy Winehouse fronting the Black Keys, but that's plenty for me.
And besides the retro blues rock 'n roll, there's also one other thing I like about it. Apparently, Rob Schneider's daughter is a total player. And here's the thing; I totally buy it. I totally believe she has a bunch of dudes following her around.
Because day in, day out, my work seems to revolve around pop princesses clumsily, awkwardly trying to pretend that they know what sex is. Meghan Trainor? Selena Gomez? Jessie J? Little girls, all of them. Elle King actually knows what she's talking about."
