I had you SUICIDAL! SUICIDAL!

So if you don't know yet that 'Beautiful Girls' by Sean Kingston is on the cusp of being inescapable, this is where you start to prepare yourself. I love it; totally ridiculous, slightly inappropriate, and massively charming emo-dancehall. How much you like it may depend on whether you find the thought of primary school kids singing "SUICIDAL! SUICIDAL!" cute or wrong.



And JoJo's covered it from the girl's point of view! I love JoJo but I think this is the first time she's shown, you know, humour in her art.



Not suicidal is Róisín Murphy - this is a bit old now (I assume it flopped then, le sigh) but I love the video.

WO!

I have no clue if ILM is talking about this song or not (I don't read the board anymore), so for all I know it's the number one hit here. Too bad there isn't a strong enough American chapter of Freaky Trigger with its parallel in community size and focus. :/
