I brought this poll forward from tomorrow because I think it'll get quite a few ticks.*

[Poll #988684]

*and because I didn't want to harangue you with only game-based posts today.

Try the Lil' Mama remix for (1) more big blocky synths, (2) less Rihanna melody (except they cut the nice bridge, which Mama now raps over), (3) NO JAY-Z!!!, (4) the words "umbuberella" and "peroxicide." Much prefer it to the orig. version...drives home the musical hook, pares down the vocal hooks, greatly improves the rap section -- which doesn't feel so awkward tacked on right at the damn beginning like a false start or something. Reminds me too much of...I dunno, something forgettable like the semi-wtf first intro track on the Fall Out Boy album shoutout/tie-in-wise and doesn't do the song any good at all.
