Hogg:
A love song from Ke$ha. Excuse me while I laugh.
There's something missing from this song. It's boring and repetitive, yes, but it also lacks a good metaphor. Love as a drug has been used before Ke$ha, but she takes it to ridiculous levels ("I'm walking down every alley, I'm making those desperate calls.") Until my local love dealer gets arrested in the government's War on Love, I can't take this song seriously.
The beat is boring, just two different sound bites (the verses and the chorus) played over and over.
The song is somewhat addicting, but nothing new or fresh, much less anything interesting.
Not a lot to say here. Here's Pease on the
music video.

After listening to the song about four times, it got pretty boring.
Okay, so in the beginning, Ke$ha and her boyfriend/hobo-thing are in the middle of a desert. Ke$ha says that she might need sleep or rehab, in the case of sleep, she just woke up! She walks off and you see her with a white tiger mask on, posing similar to Lady Gaga in the beginning of the "Poker Face" video. Next, she talks about alleys, making calls, and hitting her head against a wall. I don't see any alleys, phones or cell phone towers, or walls in that desert! Why are they even in a desert?! Ke$ha also says that her boyfriend/hobo thing's love is hard to find, but they're in the middle of the desert with him! Then Ke$ha and her BF/hobo thing are in a boat, yet still in the desert. I think this video would make a lot more sense if I was in drugs! Towards the end of the video, the happy couple are sitting by a campfire...in the middle of the desert! Where did they get it from?! I must have fallen from the sky and kncked Ke$ha on the head, that's probably why she woke up and thought she needed sleep! In the very last scene, she's on an elephant, but how'd she get there? Her BF/hobo thing helped her? I don't know, it could possibly be possible!
Overall, this song would only make sense if your taking the same color drug as Ke$ha: "Yellow, yellow, yellow, is my drug!"
Overall:
2/5 for the music
1/5 for the music video.
