The last time I reviewed this song, I wondered if I could get away
with a one line review... and now I'm spilling more (virtual) ink on
the awful thing; it is slightly less awful without Pitbull chanting
“Bon Bon Bon Bon” every couple seconds. It's still a Run, no
question, but it benefits, as most songs do, from the lack of bon bon
bonning.
Aside from that, there's almost nothing to say; it's an old standard
that's been chopped up and had a dance beat added to it. At least when Rednex decided to make a dance-floor anthem out
of “Cotton-Eyed Joe,” they actually recorded a cover version of the folk standard--
adding a simple beat to a1950s novelty tune barely even counts as a remix, no matter how many times
they loop the instrumental sections.
Counting my blessings, the most annoying repetition in the Pitbull
version is lessened here: the bleeping lead line made from a single
horn sample is there, but it's not a constant irritant, quacking away
through the entire song. It also eventually changes (gasp!)
I'm not sure this song is anything but a kick drum thump meant to
keep people dancing. It's barely a song, and there's hardly anything
to say about it, other than I never want to hear it again.
Stay with the song, walk away, or run like hell:
