Trashy Thursdays will be happening every Thursday (duh) and will feature the trashy pop songs I kinda love. Don't get it twisted, I think pop music is an art form. But like all art, there are brilliant artistic works that are fresh and dynamic and new as well as less inspired pieces of art. Sometimes those less inspired bits are as much fun as the "good" stuff, that's why we're getting trashy!
In 200, the film Miss Congeniality reintroduced us to the screwball comedy side of Sandra Bullock. The soundtrack introduced me to Bosson and his Backstreet Boys rip off/trash pop classic "One In A Million"
Bosson is a Swedish pop singer who wrote the smaltzy lyrics for his girlfriend at the time, a Miss Sweden winner. It only seems fair it would be a song for the Miss United States pageant. "One In A Million" starts off with a soft falsetto over songs strings and a gently plucked guitar. The first verse is soft electro-pop, the chorus soars with the bizarre lyrics only Swedish songwriters can write. Then the rap bridge take sit over the top - even rhyming "possible" with "impossible." It's so trashy, and I love it.
