OK, this is a little bizarre, but the new Ke$ha leak, "Shots On The Hood Of My Car," sounds a little bit like Owl City. Ke$ha's ode to throwing a few back while perched atop her vehicle begins with the same twinkling synth that defined the hit "Fireflies." We know, kinda weirdsies.
But never fear! This is a Ke$ha song, so you can bet your last swig of whiskey that the track quickly breaks out into an addictive dance beat. She sings, "Sometimes I think about if the world was about to end/I call the people who have been there though the thick and thin/I buy a bottle of the finest scotch there ever was/And we can watch it blow into oblivion." And in typical hitmaker fashion, the chorus bursts out into a hooky melody while Ke$ha tells us how she'd like to be remembered if the whole world ended -- drinking top-shelf liquor and a possible citation for public intoxication. Aka, "going down doing shots on the hood of my car."
While the subject matter of the song may be a tad morbid, "Shots On The Hood Of My Car" is definitely catchy, and we love that it makes light of a rather unavoidable calamity. Theme song for Rapture Watch 2012?
