Soulja Boy Tell'Em 'Crank That (Soulja Boy)'

Chart Peak: 2

We're definitely back into music people love to hate territory here. And a bit like the unusual classical piece I heard earlier tonight, in some ways this is so far from my own musical experience as to be almost impossible to write about.

Anyway, from the perspective of somebody born in the 1970s, this isn't a very pleasant experience, but I can think of some positive points; well it's quite short, and at least this is the original version rather than the awful cod-metal version Radio 1 used to play. And perhaps there is something to be said for the sparseness of the production here, which sounds like it was all played one-handed on keyboards. Just try not to think about what he's doing with the other hand.
