Monday, August 30, 2010: Mark Ronson featuring Lily Allen - Oh My God

I'm preparing for Covers Week here on CSOTD.   Here's a taste.

There's nothing like waking up on a Monday morning, looking around at your life and getting that sudden realization that just makes you want to scream, "My God, What Have I Done?"

"Time on your side that will never end
The most beautiful thing you can ever spend
But you work in a shirt with your name tag on it"

Indeed.

Yes, there's far better Kaiser Chiefs songs, Mark Ronson is a bit of a hack, Lilly Allen is can be pretty annoying and this song's association with this movie come's within a hair's-breadth of disqualifying it from being cool. However, all those negatives, irksome individually, come together here to produce an abundance of attitude, encouragement and a perfect pop hook that makes for a fine choice this Monday morning.

Thus, keeping it just barely on this side of cool. Just.

Keep On Trucking everyone, and Happy Monday!


That is all.
