Blog 3 - Song Choice

In this section I will talk about my final song choice, why I chose the specific song and also talk about song we listened to but decided not to use them and why we thought we should reject them.
The song we have chosen for our final music video is; Party At A Rich Dudes House by Kesha http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnG780EyeYQ&feature=fvst

Swimming pool limousines (come on let's do it)
Come on let's cause a scene (come on let's do it)
Cigar in the caviar (come on let's do it)
I'm pissin' in the Dom Pérignon (come on let's do it)
Now, come on lets do it
We're gonna do it now
Come on let's do it
Come on let's do this

(Chours:)
Woah oh oh
There's a party at a rich dude's house
Woah oh oh
There's a party at a rich dude's house
If ya wanna go
Then ya know oh
We're gonna fight til we do it right
So let's woah oh oh
Tonight

(Verse 2:)
No we're not on the list (come on let's do it)
No we don't give a shit (come on let's do it)
Dance til your pants come off (come on get naked)
Party til the break of dawn (come on let's do it)
Now, come on lets do it
Come on, come on, come on

(Chours:)
Woah oh oh
There's a party at a rich dude's house
Woah oh oh
There's a party at a rich dude's house
If ya wanna go then ya now oh
We're gonna fight till we do it right
So let's woah oh oh
Tonight

(Verse:)
I wake up in the front yard
(We don't care)
White stain on the sofa
(We don't care)
I threw up in the closet
And I don't care
Cause the sun is coming up
And oh my god I think I'm still fucked up
Get fucked up

(Chours:)
There's a party at a rich dude's house
There's a party at a rich dude's house

Woah oh oh
There's a party at a rich dude's house
Woah oh oh
There's a party at a rich dude's house
If you wanna go then you know
We're gonna fight til we do it right
So lets woah oh oh
Tonight

The reason that we chose this particular song was that we wanted to follow the Pop party theme and the culture of the present day teenagers who can relate to the song as they would also go to random houses with friends and people they didn't generally know or socialise with and this song gave us this capability.

Whilst looking through potential songs we came across a range that we felt were not really suited for what we wanted to do or the theme we wanted to take. These songs included a range of Katy Perry songs including Hummingbird Heartbeat, the reason we decided not to use this song was because the lyrics related to summertime, the reason we could not go forward with this song was because the timing of the recording would clash with Winter so we would not benefit from the flowers and bees as stated in the song.

Another artists songs we decided not t0 use were Lady Gaga's, we considered them with a lot of thought and thought they would be really good videos to shoot but realistically we knew it would become a really hard task. We also decided not to choose one of her songs Teeth, as we felt it did not meet the theme we were going for, we felt it had more of a rock genre.

Although we chose Kesha as our main artist, we did come across songs of hers that we felt wouldn't be appropriate and w0uld not give of a brilliant impression. Also it would be a hard video to film as we can't relate to it ourselves as it isn't our lifestyle. The song was called Backstabbers
