hot boyfriends
Don’t cha wish your boyfriend was hot like me
Don’t cha wish your boyfriend was a freak like me
Don’t cha, don’t cha
This is a couple of weeks overdue: the best pop vocal performance I’ve seen this year was these guys, Ben and Jonny, doing a version of the Pussycat Dolls’ “Don’t Cha” at the TAG event in Parramatta. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a fun, carefree expression of male sensuality on stage. Sure, the chorus for “Don’t Cha” was originally lifted from Sir Mix-A-Lot’s “Swass”, which went “Don’t cha wish your boyfriend was swass like me?”, but really, when a couple of guys do a take on a recent hit that goes, “Don’t cha wish your girlfriend was hot like me?” and keep the “hot”, it’s daring and…hott. It totally eclipsed anything you’d find on Idol lately.

cool! those guys sound awesome!
thanks for the backstory on don't cha. This song has featured in a couple of performances playing on the freak line of late (ie, in the last year). A couple of months ago, lactogrrl smashed up raw eggs and pulled a piercing skewer out of her cheeks (held open by a dental brace) to the dulcet tones of this song at a Hellfire performance, and about a year ago, mz eggbeaterz and yours truly sliced up each other's silken tofu cellulite with stanley knives in a golden girls/ cosmetic surgery gurlesque number.
Lactogrrrl is the best name evar.
