Hey Willpower Make You Wanna 'Uh Uh Uh'
Justin Timberlake may have initially brought sexy back, but then he had to go and get all preoccupied with his so-called "love." Luckily, Hey Willpower -- the electronic dirty duo featuring Will Schwartz of Imperial Teen and Tomo Yasuda of Tussle -- pick up the sleazy slack. Here on "Uh-Uh-Uh," the beat rolls over a simple snare count and innocent-enough synthesized chimes, but at the first entrance of Schwartz's evocative voice the song's G-rating goes out the window. Chock full of double entendres and crass come-ons, all executed over a dance track in a J.T.-esque sex voice, "Uh-Uh-Uh" leaves little to the imagination, exuding confidence in its sexual sound effects.
Packing in as many pop culture references as potential late-night partners, Schwartz drops pun-master gems about 28 Days Later, Chips Ahoy!, Tonka trucks and even Bambi's buddy Thumper (if you know what I mean). No luck with the ladies? "Get on the floor" and unleash a quip about your "Willy Wonka" and her "candy toy" -- it works for these guys! A counting breakdown leads up to another repeat of the suggestive chorus, and if by this time around you can't sing along, you're doing something wrong. No strangers to public affection, Hey Willpower's P.D.A. LP finally arrives stateside Jan. 22, complete with a new tracklisting and fresh artwork, via Tomlab.
