Trashy Thursday: "Nothing In This World" - Paris Hilton

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!

Paris Hilton is pretty much useless as a singer, but she's not the first girl to make up for it by surrounding herself with top-notch songwriters and producers to make a half-way decent record. Well, half-way decent trash-pop record.

"Nothing In This World" is co-written and produced by Dr. Luke, who is a pop genius. The song is similar to some of his other contemporaneous productions, like "Since U Been Gone" and "Girlfriend" The video is what puts it over the top, it stars a high-school geek who is obsessed with Paris and fantasizes about her. When she moves in next door, he gets her to pretend she's his girlfriend. It's cute, in a slightly pervy kinda way.
