Delicious Neon Shit - Cobra Starship

Ah, Mr. Saporta. Imagine all the boys and girls sobbing when you sang "You can ride to the top, but you can't ride on my cock, yeah" in the first song of you're upcoming album. Think of all the teenagers that would love to ride on your cock, as awkward as it would be since you're turning 30 in October. However, as disappointing to many as your opening lyrics are, I'm sure that your fans will be just as happy sucking on this piece of glamorous pop beauty as they would be doing otherwise.

"Pete Wentz Is the Only Reason We're Famous," the first song released off Cobra Starship's upcoming third record, may have a ridiculous title, and ridiculous lyrics, and even a ridiculously syncopated bridge, but it comes together to form one of the best pop songs of 2009. With catchy beats and infectious choruses, this song could make Cobra big, even if the rest of the album turns out to be shit. The verses are subdued in a somewhat failed attempt to be seductive, but when the choruses crash you can't help but sing along and even dance, if your skinny jeans permit.

So what if when I first heard the lead singer yell his anthem, "I'm not street, but I do what I gotta do," the inner fanboy in me prayed he was saying "straight" rather than "street"? If Gabe hadn't so explicitly expunged people from his penis, I'd probably be on it just as fast as all the 13-year-old fangirls who will know the lyrics to this song by heart. "...We're Famous" is perhaps my favorite song by dance-pop ultra-group Cobra Starship, and that alone is enough to incite my homoerotic bro-love for Mr. Saporta, let alone his 80s retro attire and revealing tight neon jeans. Get ready to blast this baby all over your girl's face, and she'll enjoy it too, because nothing is better than an awesomely crafted pop song.
