Pop, to two decimal places.

Wolfgang Gartner ft. will.i.am – Forever

This is maybe the least disturbing frame in the vid.

[5.17]

Edward Okulicz: Generic electro house for the most part, with the addition of a generic will.i.am appearance. This explains why the most distinctive bit is the bit where the music cuts out.

Katherine St Asaph: DJ AM gets a moment of silence — real silence — amid the party glop. Johnny Cash doesn’t. And that’s when I remembered will.i.am is just trolling us now.

Anthony Easton: Why the mention of DJ AM, two  years after his death, shoehorned into a sex track that skirts over a gang bang? I mean nice skittering beats in places, but the message confuses.

Brad Shoup: I’m sorry, but isn’t paying musical tribute to DJ AM’s artistry a little like awarding Josh Hancock a World Series share?

Jonathan Bogart: LMFAO without the charm. Score artificially inflated because of a video that may or may not still be giving me nightmares.
[5]

Hazel Robinson: The kind of thing that Pharrell would be much too smooth for but somehow the incongruity of will.i.am’s shoutiness and the Ed Banger-style alternate shine and bounce make this the most glorious Shock Waves hair gel advert of a song. Almost totally content free but I guarantee that by 11pm this would sound completely amazing and have me beaming — it makes me a bit excited to hear it in the context of a night out already.
