Ok WTF.

 My brother, who is currently on his honeymoon in Europe, sent me this youtube video of "the hottest song in Europe".  Seriously??     
 
  

Didn't realize it until after I posted youtube spam.  Please delete. 

I think it's a legitimate discussion. I'm a bit confused about this too. How old is this song?

" song came out early in 2010 (around February or so) and is a #1 smash hit in countries all over the world.  it's club/dance music, so take it's success in that context. "

I'm not sure what to say about it. I'm a heavy metal guy.

It's one of those, "gotta be on drugs" to fully understand songs.

Waaaay better video:
 
 

I sure do enjoy the video editing tho. 

Europe is a big place.

It sure plays all the time here in Finland... f*cking hate this song.

I don`t like it but it DOES get stuck in my brain whenever I hear it.

It's a club/dance song. Catchy. Popular. Go figure.

I will sit back and wait for someone to make a Giantbomb video set to this song. 

I kept hearing this song all over Europe on my trip. It's god awful.

God, just lock this shit.

Pretty sure the U.S. has its fair share of shitty club music except we like to add ridiculous dance steps to the song as well.
 
Everyone do the Stanky Leg!

It's one of these songs that are really famous during the summer, and then they are slowly forgotten before being remembered once again the next summer. Meh.

Yeh thats not the actual video to that song, and its one of those songs that works better in a club rather than just listning to it sitting at the computer, either i dont really like it all that much.

" That's Snider's father on the piano. "

I love the look on that girl's face.  It's like she's completely bored. 

Oh christ, I didn't recognize this until around 1:00 when the beat drops. I heard this song all over Macedonia, especially in Kavadarci back in June. You would hear it in clubs, bars, and restaurants all around town. Techno/dance music as   htr10 said, is very popular in Europe and has been for quite some time.

" It's one of these songs that are really famous during the summer, and then they are slowly forgotten before being remembered once again the next summer. Meh. "

Oh, that's cool I guess.

I've been hearing it everywhere, not just England.

This has been played to death in just about everywhere in europe, from the radio to the clubs. 
I used to like it, now i just hate it.

This is definitely not a song for me. 

" I'm not sure what to say about it. I'm a heavy metal guy. "

Yeah it's true that it's a big hit over here. I quite like it personally, it's a good dance song 

I enjoy it but I don't have the best taste in music.

that's old news try a dutch version... 
 

Its quite popular in Scotland, although when I was in Belgium it was just unreal how often I heard this song. I mean not like "Oh yeah, I heard that song earlier today and now its playing again" I literally heard it at least two or three times an hour. Eurgh.

you guys dont like it?  its got tons of charm and a catchy beat - good for mixes - although listening to the whole song on its own gets tiresome.
