2008 Top Ten: #4 -- Nada Surf "I Like What You Say"
30 Dec 2008#4: Nada Surf -- I Like What You Say
Yes, it's repetitive. It is like "I Got My Mind Set On You" updated for 2008. There's absolutely nothing to this song except hook, hook, hook, for 2 minutes and 30 seconds. Seriously. They took a normal song and distilled it down until there's nothing but catchy.
Nada Surf has been completely slept on over the past few years while they've put out 3 good albums and one of the best songs of the decade ("Always Love").
(Note: The song linked below is from a movie soundtrack and isn't the album version. The album version from Lucky
is better.)
