Had Me @ Heads Carolina
You want to create a hit?
What's that now?
A hit song.
Top 40 or whatever the metric is these days.
The hard way is to come up with something original.
The easy way is to take an old hit.
Just take it.
Either remake it.
Or make a new song with the old song inside it.
Featuring a 90s 2000s star.
Like Hootie Darius or Jo Dee (Messina, not Dumars - both legends, though).
Talk about Carolina beaches.
Gotta be Carolina.
And falling in love.
It'll be a hit.
I guar-on-tee.
It's pandering.
Lowest common denominator.
You say.
Yes, yes, I suppose it is.
Low hanging fruit.
But nostalgia renewed, man.
Holy crap, do I dig it.
A time machine.
Forwards and back.
I like those.
You want to make a hit?
Look behind you.
You had me at Hootie.
And the hits just keep on comin'.
