Once upon a January, things were a bit boring in the music world and nobody was making pop bangers. Then I came across this during a Spotify updating spree and proceeded to play it nonstop for, like, a week. So I forced it on my bop-loving friends, and the rest is history.
‘My Money’ conquered the PJ Charts (except for maybe four songs, but whatevs), replaced some other Serebro single in this rate (I think it was ‘Mi Mi Mi’), and amazed and horrified the plug.dj regulars in equal numbers (poor whoever was plugging at work).
It’s ridiculous, all right, but I wouldn’t have it any other way!
(10) - We needed this. We really, really needed this. And its PJ Chart success still makes my life. Let me high five you [@DJHazey], and @WhenTheSunGoesDown too!
Well, not everyone needed it!
(0) - About three songs in one, and none of them are any good.
Personally, I think my initial reaction was more along these lines...
(10) - WHY IS THIS SO STUPIDLY AMAZING
I’ll just let the legendary Ms. Ross help you out below!
(4) - This was going to get a decent score until that drop ruined everything. Certainly not their best.
Team #NoDubDrop for me, too!
(8) - Team #NoDubDrop. I didnot know this version was floating around, so yes at the host bringing it to my knowing.
Do you live in Italy by any chance? Apparently not, but I’m happy to report that it was a hit somewhere!
(5) - I've never heard of this group before but was this a hit. It sounds familiar.
…Or maybe there’s some other song out there that sounds exactly the same! Ooh, can I have it?
(8) - derivative AF but good
To depict him dancing like a moron would be my best guess!
(6.5) - Why is Trump in the video?
My Spice Girl sister has the right idea. You know you’ve bopped to this a lot when you’ve actually managed to decipher the words!
(10) - That dubstep breakdown needs to stay in 2013 where it belongs. Fortunately the single version doesn’t have that blemish and I’ve completely overplayed My Money since Hazey sent it to me a few weeks ago. It has a super loud beat, the catchiest chorus and they sing about sending people close-ups of butts! What more could I possibly want?
Too bad I can’t say that for all of them!
(6) - Very intriguing video but the song is a bit annoying
Serebro does ballads?!?!?!?!?!?! Oh, I don’t even want to know.
(9) - Hey! They have a 4th banger in their discography! Last time I checked them out on Spotify it was just Song #1, Mama Lover, and then a load of crushingly disappointing ballad shit. Good for Serebro. Great use of the word "bonkers". Unexpectedly brilliant dubstep bit too, best this side of 'Hold It Against Me' I reckon. Ah this is cracking. Oh the 4th song is "What's Your Problem?" if you're wondering. This is better though. Well done Serebro.
I just wanna go bonkers go bonkers go bonkers go bonkers! Yeah, that’s my fave lyric, too.
(9) - It’s absolutely bonkers in such a good way. I thought this was a few years old until I saw the Trump impersonator. Get that relevancy coin girls! It’s a very catchy song too.
And finally, here’s a little birthday surprise for our beloved host, without whom PJ wouldn’t be nearly as fun or as bubblegum…
(9) - Well, this is embarrassing because I could've sworn I gave it a 10. I will admit that if I had given it perfect marks, it would be on the lower end of them. What hooked me about the song is obviously just how fun it is from start-to-finish (once you find the dubstep-less version). The pitch that Olga sings at always wins me over, it's very playful. I love the accents, it's all very seductive. Olga is so stunningly attractive, I can just get lost watching her in any video. (more on that when Mama Lover gets eliminated) Thank you for bringing this song into my life when the PJ Bubblegum Club needed an amazing basic bop more than ever.
Happy birthday from Olga and all of us! Hope you get everything you want!
