Niiiice. Looking forward to hearing this. A bit of a different sound for them, in a good way.
I just hope that dance from the video clip doesn't catch on.

This sounds semi-hot but it could go either way. Guess I'll reserve final judgement still.
Travis is really annoying.

This is hot as f**k.
The chorus' melody is total rip off of "Buy U a Drank" though.

This is far less annoying than anything they've done in the past, but not as catchy.

LOL @ how they're hip hop now. They keep selling out ina new way. They were basically an alternative rap-rock act, then they did all the Patrick Stump stuff to get Pop hits, and now they're recruiting The Dream to get Rhythmic and (in their minds) Urban play all so Travis can prove he's a "real MC." It sounds so fake coming from them and it's not even that hot.
I like it, but it's not good enough to take seriously.

lol @ the youtube video being pictures of video games and consoles this person supposedly won off some website
I don't really like this. It's dull and doesn't stand out. and Travis sounds *really* annoying, so if this was an attempt to be fully "urban" it doesn't work. His flow sucks and he sounds really simplistic like Plies or something.

I hope he wasn't attempting to be fully urban, because there's almost no way urban radio would embrace Gym Class Heroes at this point. I mean, this particular song might get airplay becasue of The-Dream, but that's about it.

I don't think they're trying to be Urban. I just think they want another hit. I'm not sure if The-Dream was the right person to feature on it, though. He doesn't have any Pop hits.

Wow. I don't understand the love for this at all. I think it's dreadful. Travis' voice is completely vile.

This is basically Travis "rapping" over a beat provided by The-Dream. Do the other band members even contribute to this?  |

This is HAWT! Who produced this? The-Dream I thought Tricky Stewart handled the production, while The-Dream writes lyrics and does vocals? Anyway... the hook was in my head yesterday, and I didnt even hear the song. hot |

This is listed as "July TBA" in the Going For Adds section of FMQB. For whatever reason the label won't commit to an actual adds date, but by next Tuesday the month will be half over already. They should just pick a date to push it already before the hype goes away.

They better push this. I mean, pop put The-Dream on when he was out with "Shawty Is A 10", so he's not unknown and GCH definitely are cool @ pop. This will be a nice change to the Hot 100.

I don't know if Pop audiences are that familiar with The-Dream yet. If they are, they're more familiar with his writing. "Shawty Is a Ten" peaked somewhere in the 30's, and "Falsetto" did not chart. Pop stations just started adding "I Luv Your Girl," so we'll see how that goes.
As for as GCH, they're basically One Hit Wonders. "Clothes Off" peaked in the 20's.
I love this song, but I wouldn't be surprised if it flopped. It should have went for adds already.

Ok... now the lyrics really annoy me. "My girl be setting booby traps to catch me eating Scooby Snacks."  |
