Two quick thoughts on this one. First of all, if I was to be making a list of the three most butt-ugly records of recent years (admittedly, an odd way to spend one's time), this one would be on it, along with Rihanna's "Umbrella" and that "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" Beyoncé crap.
Also, as I think I've said here before, I find it really difficult to credit the recent Gen-Y embrace of Timberlake as some kind of cool all-around entertainer as anything other than a post-ironic joke that I'm not getting. Kind of like the earlier slacker crowd vogue for Tony Bennett .
In any case, as always a coveted PowerPop No-Prize will be awarded to the first reader who gleans the clip's relevance to theme of tomorrow's Weekend Listomania.

Well, I got thru about 20 seconds of that song.
Bleagh.
Songs that reference time? Or have we done that already?
Close but no cigar.
Im gonna have to be a stickler on this one.
:-)
Songs that reference the brief amount of time our society has left before vanishing up its own asshole in a cloud of corporate crap, a reverse fart that will like a black hole (a brown hole?) feed on itself exponentially until it becomes a self-perpetuating system that pulls everything within reach of its gravitation in behind it and the Big Bang ends with the Big Fuck?
Just asking.
What Peter Said.
The best/worst of this decade?
hit songs with odd time signatures
Sitting in a wifi coffee shop, so this is just s driveby...
But Peter nailed it.
Okay just kidding...:-)
Songs referencing minutes? OO! SONGS REFERENCING COUNTDOWNS!!
May-December romances. Just kidding! If A-Rod was in this video I would be serious.
Songs with time countdowns in them.
By the way I thought I was watching an episode of Bones. Was this video ever shown on MTV? It was as gross as a Zombie or Chainsaw movie.
ROTP(lumber)
Songs, albeit it, horrible songs with the most edit cuts in the video?
Steve, have a Happy New Year and a Powerful 2010. Frank
In case I didn't say it before -- Happy New Year!!!!
I love you guys, and I hope you have as much fun hanging out here as I do posting this stuff.
:-)
But no, no, and no.....

steve, you don't have to love tony bennett, but it's cold to equate him with justin timberlake. one's a (even if you don't like him) a worker bee, the other is more of a fluke.
