Sumukh's Guilty Pleasure Song of 2010!

Is it possible to label a song released in 2009 as your “Guilty Pleasure Song of 2010”? In my world, yes, because I'm odd and I don't work for a major media outlet which would take issue with such an article. But, that was the kind of impact that David Guetta's “Sexy Bitch” ft. Akon had on my 2010. Take a look at the song and video and then read below on what I learned from the genius of Guetta as I danced like a madman on many a night in 2010 to this song:

What makes a guilty pleasure song for me is a combination of how catchy it is and how much you just want to hate the song because it truly is terrible, but you can't because of how damn good it is in its badness. That's where Guetta is a genius. The beat is head-bobbingly (not a word, but should be) good and well worth a grind that produces boners on the dance floor. Its lyrics are so hilariously bad when actually analyzing them yet you can't stop yourself from yelling them along with the song. Here are the examples:

“Neighborhood whore.”

Analyst: You probably should get out of the neighborhood if there's a whore hanging around especially if she's an actual whore.

Me on the Dance Floor: NEIGHBORHOOD WHORE! (point to sky, then throw down arm, as if putting said neighborhood whore into her rightful place)

“I'm trying to find the words to describe this girl without being disrespectful.”

Analyst: Have you never talked to a woman before in any type of normal social setting where manners are needed?

Me on the Dance Floor: DISRESPECTFUUUULLLL! (dance that involves my arms spread out and a facial expression of confusion)

I also have to give it to these two guys: they managed to create a music video equally as ridiculous as the song. The best moment is when Guetta and Akon first meet – I've never seen two men so genuinely excited in a way that makes them look like they don't belong around these hot women at all. Their movements make Balki and Larry's “Dance of Joy” on Perfect Strangers seem like a hotbed of heterosexuality. Also, how awesome would it have been to be a male extra in this music video? “Okay, all you need to do is shake hands with this guy, jump around here and there, grind on this hot, nearly naked woman, and jump in this pool. You'll get your check at the end of the shoot.” Every one of those male extras should be kissing their agents' feet.

So, a round of applause for David Guetta and Akon as they resoundingly destroyed runner-up Rihanna's “Rude Boy” in order to win my “Guilty Pleasure Song of 2010”!
