Sounds like they just changed the lyrics to "Love Shack".
That's the B-52's sound. The girls alternate with Fred's talking thing on almost every B-52's song I've ever heard. And really, they don't sound much alike at all.

I love that! Definitely going on the Lazy/Relaxing playlist whenever it's available.
Robyn, Robyn Estelle, Shine Mariah Carey, E=MC^2 The Roots, Rising Down Hot Chip, Made In The Dark Gnarls Barkley, The Odd Couple Vampire Weekend, Vampire Weekend Kathleen Edwards, Asking For Flowers Lupe Fiasco, The Cool Erykah Badu, New Amerykah Raheem DeVaughn, Love Behind The Melody Sheryl Crow, Detours Cat Power, Jukebox Dengue Fever, Venus On Earth The Raveonettes, Lust Lust Lust British Sea Power, Do You Like Rock Music? The-Dream, LoveHate
I can now add Jamie Lidell's "Jim" album to my list of the best albums of the year. Man, it's good. I bet Gnarls Barkley are gonna listen to it and think "now THAT'S the record we should have made."
And yeah, Sheryl is still at the top of my list.
Emmy FYC: Julia Louis-Dreyfus, The New Adventures Of Old Christine
Annie, "I Bet Your Girlfriend Hates Me" Sam Sparro, "Black and Gold" Duffy, "Mercy"
Albums I bought this year, sort of ranked...
Robyn Hot Chip, Made in the Dark Kate Nash, Made of Bricks Madonna, Hard Candy Mariah Carey, E=MC2 Santogold The Raconteurs, Consolers of the Lonely Hercules and Love Affair (and then a huge gap) Gnarls Barkley, the Odd Couple
So far, a bunch of VERY solid albums this year. Other than Gnarls, i'd give every other album a solid B or higher.

Yeah I would have given this album a solid B/B+ when I first listened to it, but I'm not listening to it at all anymore already (after maybe 2 listens), and when a song has randomly come on my iPod ("No Time Soon" being one), I thought it was terrible and had no desire to listen to it. Plus Jamie Lidell just released an album that's in similar style to Gnarls, and it kicks "The Odd Couple" to the curb.

Songs I like right now, off the top of my head.....
Duffy, "Mercy" Chris Brown, "Forever" Usher f/Young Jeezy, "Love in this Club" (though its falling off my radar) Madonna f/JT & Timbaland, "4 Min." Estelle f/Kanye West, "American Boy" (Its a good/upbeat song.) Lil' Wayne f/Static, "Lollipop" (Its a grower for me, lol) Leona Lewis, "Bleeding Love" so far.....
FYC: The Dark Knight in every possible category! haha

Kind of an interesting point. I think it's the same for a lot of people. Even though "Love in this Club" is really well-liked, it's on its way out, which may not bode well for Usher's new album (at least initially).
"With Every Heartbeat" Robyn "Violet Hill" Colplay (yes, I already love it) "I Feel It All" Feist "Telephone" Erykah Badu "Ditch That..." The-Dream "Bleeding Love", Leona Lewis "Mansard Roof" Vampire Weekend "Dumb It Down" Lupe Fiasco f/ Gemini "Magnificent" Estelle f/ Kardinal Offishall "Rising Down" The Roots f/ Mos Def, Styles P
