That song is pretty old, a few months anyway, it's been on the radio for a long time... but it's a fun bass line.

glad to see you came out of the cave on mars where you've obviously been hiding for a couple months.

It was funny. Then it was overplayed.

Believe it or not, I actually don't have enough fingerstyle skill to be able to play that song. I use mostly pick. It made me very distressed when I tried to play that song and failed.

I have seen the video a few times and if I recall correctly he was finger-slapping it, which is something that I really suck at.

At the place I worked this summer, we would leave one radio station on all day, and consequently I would hear that song at least three times. It was great in the beginning of the summer, but then the novelty kinda wore off. It's a shame, too, because I really like that song, but now... it's merely mediocre.

I liked the song at the beginning of the summer, but then it got so irratating. The video is funny though.

Thanks for putting me in your signature, JR.

I like the song, and I actually prefer their version to Michael Jackson, but I don't like it how people become famous off someone else's song. It just doesn't seem right to me.

If a few months is pretty old, the music I listen to is ANCIENT.
