leighblackMTV apparently asked some folks to put together their favorites of '08.
Gabe Saporta, Cobra Starship
"T.I., 'Live Your Life:' The last CD I actually listened to was T.I. vs. T.I.P. — it's still in my car's CD player from last year. Then T.I. all went and got arrested for trying to buy some machine guns, and I was all thinking that was the end of T.I — but I was wrong. I was DEAD wrong. And I'll be the FIRST to admit it.
» Chromeo, 'Bonafied Lovin:' I always thought of Chromeo as that cooler, smarter, better-looking older brother who you'll never be as good as, and doesn't really know you exist. Like, I thought I was pretty bad (as in Michael Jackson Bad, as opposed to 'not-good' bad) for being Latino and Jewish, but if a girl wants some delectable French cuisine at a competitive price? Well, then, call Dave Macklovitch — homeboy is FRENCH and Jewish. He can dance, make money and cook you some good sh--.
» MGMT, 'Electric Feel:' I really only liked this song when I thought the lyrics were, 'Ooh girl, club you like a baby seal.' Then learned the real lyrics and hated it. Then it showed up on 'Gossip Girl' and I loved it again.
» John Legend featuring Andre 3000, 'Green Light:' Again, songs are always better when you make up your own lyrics. This song was known on our tour as 'Shreddy to Bro.' It's really good, but Andre's rap is what does it for me. I can especially relate to the part where he goes, 'Let's hop in a cab and split it/ Naw, I'm kiddin' — we ain't goin' to where you live.' 'Cause sometimes I'm also like, 'Damn girl! Really? The Montrose stop? That's like 45 minutes if the L is even running. We can take a cab, but I only got 10 bucks.'
» Cobra Starship, 'I Kissed a Boy:' Like I said, songs are always better if you make up your own lyrics.
» Millionaires, 'Alcohol:' What's better than three 19-year-old girls writing a song whose chorus is, 'Let's get f---ed up/ Gimme my alcohol?' Well, what if I told you that they even spelled it out for you? 'Cause, like, they're still in school and stuff. And, like, spelling is really important.
» Fall Out Boy, 'I Don't Care:' There really is no role more suited for me to play than a creepster who is running around the city exposing himself. Damn, I look really creepy in this video. Call me.
» Flo Rida, 'In The Ayer:' So our sound guy Chris V wears baggy shorts, likes to break-dance and hates our band. So he always plays hip-hop in between sets, which would be fine by me, except he always wants to play this back-packer sh-- that, like, three dudes drinkin' PBR will know. And I'm all, 'Yo V, put on some sh-- to make my booty pop.' So he added 'Ayer' to his playlist."

And now I've changed my el jay name to 'make my booty pop'.
This message brought to you by boredom while waiting for my hair to finish processing.
