So this is more Guinness World Record related than Music related....

...But Psy's Gangnam Style is officially a Guinness World Record holder for Youtube's most popular video.....

A song.......about coffee.........

According to Billboard, The Twist is the most popular song of all time. It's about...the twist.

So, "baby", how many times do you "do the twist" in your car?

But really....it's all coming clear. The key to success consists of invisible horse dancing, tropical colored suits, and six albums just for practice.

I love this universal "I don't give a ****" bull**** attitude that just permeates the air.

If you read up on this song, maybe you'd find it interesting that it's origin of intent was anti-pop. Some people would actually like to know that somewhere down the line their work actually pays off. Unlike you, "WHO CARES?"

Now it's clear why the average person nowaday is bred to be a consumer rather than actually achieving anything.

A bit overdramatic, don't you think?

I don't care about the latest trend which will disappear as quickly as it appeared and that makes me somehow inferior to you... Amazing.

Another thread about this song?

I miss the days when Taylor Swift was the hot topic.

Implying pop is a trend.

Amazing about how nobody gives a **** about things that actually *might* matter. Meanwhile we're having the ****ing Red Vines vs Twizzlers party. OOOOOHH yea, it's a real mean tie!

is she making money to sing a dumb song while you play whatever's meaningful to you for zero? There may be thought behind it!

Nope. The song itself. Thought that was rather obvious.

Oh yeah. A pop song really matters in life.

You must live a sheltered life if this actually matters to you, somehow. I'm not judging, but there are plenty of things that impact me that give me cause for worry or interest but that song doesn't affect me in the slightest.

Why you get worked up about this is a mystery to me.

I love this my opinion really matters, and everyone must respect the **** that rolls out of my mouth sense of entitlement that permeates the air.


Money money money!! I must have more!! Sounds like you were bred to be a good little consumer too.

Yeah, same thing I was thinking. I'm going to go check out the song right now and see what this musician has to say about coffee. However, if I see a Starbucks logo, I'm turning it off.

I watched the video all the way through and had no idea the song was about coffee.
