Either your emotions have an echo

Yeah, I know it's not exactly underplayed/hyped (sales records broken in the UK, popping up in Grey's Anatomy, etc), but seriously, if you don't love Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy", what's wrong with you? I haven't been this delerious over a genuine pop hit in so long, I can't remember what the last one was. If nothing else, you have to love the way the track pitches and yaws underneath Cee-Lo every time he hits that amazing refrain. Dude sings his ass off.

Edited to add: Here's a link to the crazy-ass Rorschach blot video.

I get this weird Adam Levine meets Jamiroquai feel from that single. I haven't been able to decipher if that's a good thing or a bad thing. I'm still all mind blown over that mark ronson/alex greenwald thing though. one pop song at a time, people. ONE AT A TIME.

See, I find "Crazy" a whole lot more compelling than that version of "Just". The rest of the Gnarls album hasn't been doing much for me yet, though.

oh man. that drum break in the middle of "Just" is just.... mind blowing.

but danger mouse is strangely incredibly hot, which is also totally relevant here.
