“…A Little More ‘Touch Me’ ” mms://66.186.0.101/allaccess/fallalit.wmaFor their third single they were deciding between this and “Sophomore Slump or Comeback or the Year”. I definitely would’ve picked the latter but a VJ from Fuse asked Pete about the next single/video, and he confirmed it was going to be for this track. Will alternative radio overlook the poppy sound of this and still play it? I personally have the lowest expecations for this on the format. On Pop, its a whole different story.

I like this, but I'm not thrilled with the choice. Every song on the album is catchy, but this isn't one of the better songs. I was really hoping they'd stick with "Sophomore Slump". "7 Minutes In Heaven" wouldn't have bothered me either. That was my third favorite from the start although "Sophomore Slump" may have replaced it after it was announced as the probable third single. I wouldn't be shocked if this flops. I think if you're going to release something with a title too long for most listeners to even remember, it had better be amazing.

The opening guitar part sounds so much like some other song.

This is just okay. It certainly wouldn't have been my choice for the third single. "Of All The Gin Joints In All The World", "7 Minutes In Heaven" or even "Sophomore Slump..." would have been better choices. Of those three, I would have preferred "Of All The Gin Joints..."

I wish they wouldn't re-release the album especially since they're currently working on the next one which is due late this year / early next year. They could just add those bonus tracks to the new LP but it's looking like one of them will be the 4th single.

I think it would be kinda dumb if they release one of those bonus tracks as a fourth single. The rest of the album is already solid enough with many potential singles. Shakira is doing something like this for a reason. But their new album is coming out soon, so a 4th single might not happen. and I still find it weird that they want to work with Babyface on the new album.

I agree, they have plenty of songs on the album they can choose for a 4th single rather than just picking one of the bonus tracks, which is why the idea of a re-release doesn't make much sense. I think the album is still selling fairly decently last I checked.
As for the idea of Babyface producing for them, I had a WTF reaction to that too when I first heard about it LOL.

The video premieres tonight Monday on TRL. It was suppose to premiere today but I guess its more important to premiere in on the show where all their poser fans originate from.

I hate the video. What is it supposed to be? It's like a superhero movie parody or something but I hate those types of movies. I had a feeling they'd base the video on a movie, but I thought Sixteen Candles would lend itself more easily but maybe it was too girly... but that didn't stop them from naming the song after it.

Yeah the video sucks (I like the song though), but I'll give them props for having a plot and not just some boring performance at a pool party with their groupies.

Maybe it's intentional, but this video completely reminds me of 80's Michael Jackson videos.
As for the song, I like it but I'm not crazy about it. I personally like it more than "Sugar.." even though I can admit "Sugar.." is a better song. But "Dance Dance" owns this song in every way possible.

Not that I'm complaining, but this is flopping even worse than Weezer.

I got the cd and I think it is horrible. I do like this song though. I don't like the video but the song is pretty good.
