But a couple weeks ago I was driving home and heard a great song.<\/p>\n<p>First, a disclaimer: I&#8217;m going to link to a few music videos. Where possible, I&#8217;m using the official music videos. Many feature scantily-clad woman and\/or lots of profanity, so if you&#8217;re sitting at work or have lots of small children crowded around your computer, it might not be a good idea to click these links. I don&#8217;t find much of a reason to watch music videos, but Youtube is a great place to listen to music. Just leave it up in a tab while you work.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to Shazam, I was able to identify the song as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=N9hazmsUxrM\">Sexy Chick<\/a> by David Guetta. I&#8217;d never heard of him, but it turns out that he&#8217;s apparently a chart-topping French DJ, doing House and Electro. I&#8217;m not really sure why his music hasn&#8217;t caught on here: <em>Sexy Chick<\/em> was played once on some late-night radio program that mixes in some rarely-played songs in lieu of the normal Top 40 routine, and it was one of the few songs I&#8217;ve ever fallen in love with immediately. Europeans seem to eat up everything he does, while no one will play any of his music here. <em>Sexy Chick<\/em> even features Akon, whose songs <em>do<\/em> get featured on every Top 40 station out here. Some of his songs are a little too repetitive for my liking, but I&#8217;m positive I&#8217;ve heard his 2005 hit, <iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"267\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7Nv6baJtIeg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen title=\"David Guetta - The World Is Mine (Original Music)\"><\/iframe>, before. It&#8217;s a great song, too.<\/p>\n<p>The only other time I can recall blogging about music was The Black Eyed Peas, who made history by simultaneously occupying the #1 and #2 spot on the Billboard Top 100, not for a day or week, but for 26 consecutive weeks. The two songs were <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=f_2rrxONlLo\">I Gotta Feeling<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9F444CELomo\">Boom Boom Pow<\/a>. (The latter, by the way, is practically a different song when you play a high-quality\u2014e.g., not Youtube\u2014version through a set of decent speakers.)<\/p>\n<p>It turns out that the Black Eyed Peas asked Guetta to produce <em>I Gotta Feeling<\/em>. And as for Boom Boom Pow? He didn&#8217;t produce that, but he did produce <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=I8Yy2G4uVng\">Boom Boom Wow<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=VePHA8d-Qlc\">Boom Boom Guetta<\/a>, two of the more popular remixes of the song.<\/p>\n<p>Incidentally, Boom Boom Pow has an unreasonably high number of remixes for a recent song.
