Page 42 onwards of this thread is the most hilarious thing I've read in ages!!
The remix will at least help the song get more rhythmic airplay, which I think Ke$ha has been lacking in recently. She started out great on rhythmic with Right Round, and then her own debut single Tik Tok peaking at #2 there, but she isn't quite matching that anymore. Whilst the verses of this single are more in-line with what rhythmic plays, and will.i.am is a big name on that format, so that might help. E.T. got to #1 on rhythmic too.
