It's not even cu - ute the way she si - ings the wer - erds of the so - ong, just annoying and cloying. Maybe their career will die a painful death leaving them broke and indebted to their record company. Just a dream mind you, but everyone can dre - eam can't they?

Can't say I care much for their stuff. Neither does my daughter. Just another clean-cut family act going for the lowest common denominator. They are young, perhaps they'll grow musically. Despite the lame tune, there is some talent there. And the girl is sexy. Be honest, those thighs look delicious. And she's 18 and legal too. <br /><br />VR Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-8240486597519512372015-11-10T23:02:38.692-05:002015-11-10T23:02:38.692-05:00100% correct.

And without the cutesy video, and the ... ahem ... antics of the band members the very, very full production (to catch your ears, probably), and the lame-o "while we're young" lyrics, it's catchy, even if the band's manager told everybody where to stand, what to play, and how to look ... well, cute.<br /><br />It's the video you don't like. Mr. S.<br /><br />And as far as images go, imagine that you didn't know who Keith Richards, Bob Dylan, Ian Hunter and Leonard Cohen were, and you saw a photo composite of the four together. If I didn't know who they were, I know I'd see four alter kockers searching for a kippot for Hunter before taking part in a minyan.<br /><br />Echosmith looks like nice kids. Hopefully. I see a podiatrist, a middle school music teacher, a massage therapist and a M.S. in Library Science in their futures, if they all get breaks.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13063639986915628650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-3994100675958835612015-11-10T10:44:10.725-05:002015-11-10T10:44:10.725-05:00Yeah, I kind of liked it.
