Easily the BEST pop song in last 10 years. So why is this so special? Do you remember that very first time you heard the song? You thought: "What's this?". You love that feeling. It stays with you. "Young Folks" is so easy to remember. It sounds innovative and retro at the same time. It's fun, innocent, different and memorable. I can see myself, mom & dad, 8-year old Billy and even grandma whisteling to this! Honestly, when can you recall something like this happened earlier? I mean, it's just too damn catchy to pass :)
People may not realize it yet, but it is already a classic. "Young Folks" equals "Stand by me" of the 21st century! Thank you P,B,J!!
One of the worst novelty songs in recent years, rivalled perhaps only by that crazy, crazy frog and Claude Vonstroke. The first time I heard this I immediately became profoundly depressed at the state of the world in general and with popular music in particular, a feeling echoed repeatedly whenever I walked into a bar or clothing store in the following six months.
The most depressing thing about this is soulless rubbish is that, unlike the frog, it pretends to have some air of respectability, a delusion which has unfortunately been validated with remixes by people who should really have known a lot better.
