I was at the gas station for all of fifteen seconds, which was long enough to hear the chorus to "Moves Like Jagger".

I hate that song so fucking much.

Also Aguilera sounds fantastic, and her line about “if I share my secret…” always feels titillating.

Finally, it’s such a weird mish-mash of sounds: The kick and synth are right out of Ibiza 2005, while the whistled hook is a throwback to 50s pop radio. Then there’s the funky 70s guitar licks. It’s a wildly creative pop song.
Shut the hell up.

I haven’t heard that song in so long I sorta forget what it sounds like. Can’t decide if I should listen to it tonight and weigh in with my opinion, or continue to live in this wonderland
