Dear Flo Rida...

Dear Flo Rida,

I thought you were an "artist"? (I use the term loosely) I mean, you had so many thought provoking hit songs such as "Low" and "In the Ayer", but you have truly disappointed me with your latest single, "Right Round".

First of all, covers of this song have so been done before. I'm over it. Originally I believe was by Dead or Alive, then called "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)" in 1984. Covers have since been done by such reputable artists as Jessica Simpson, Marilyn Manson, and Dope. Is it creative? No.

Secondly, it is not appropriate to insert sexual lyrics into a song and expect a guaranteed hit. Your lyric "You spin my head right round, right round, when you go down, when you go down down" is hardly classy. Okay, so maybe sexual lyrics do get the public attention, but is this really the message we want to be sending to the kiddies?

So please, do what you should have done a loooong time ago. Just go away. And get your regrettably catchy tunes out of the clubs and out of my head!

Damn you!,
Megan
