 The Sounds of Music, That I Could Care Less About (30 person items)"With the millionth hearing, of Party Rock Anthem, I found myself not wanting to parry, even more than usual.
For me, a party song, should make you feel like partying, not the exact opposite.
As for the whole Party Rock music, thing that seems to popular as of late.... I give it two years, there years at most."
