...One of the worst songs in his entire catalog.

Its kinda obvious IMO if you know his catalog.

The falsetto is just too much.

The lyrics are way too simple for an artist like him looking at his days in N*E*R*D and even his solo features

The melody is too predictable on that "revive the 60s black church" sound that soul singers are always chasing a la Bruno Mars or Adele.

I'm not mad at its appeal...but its not a good song...and definitely not one of Pharrell's best.
Word?

What's your take on the theme songs for Barney and Dora The Explorer?

...so we can't comment on it?

Cause that was the point.

i KNOW its a kid song...but I just think that for as widespread as it is...its still a bad song.

While we're at it that "wheels on the bus" song is repetitive :trash:
