Hey DJ, I know the song you're gonna play

I don't know that much about Texas Girls beyond the fact that they're French based (I should really try to learn some French some day). Made up of four girls, the group has released one single so far, and I think they have/are going to have a TV show about them, which is not usually a sign of a promising long-term career. Today's song is on the trashy side, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Dallas, It's My Life--I think this song is based off of the theme to the TV series Dallas--I'm not sure, since I've never seen it. It's dance-pop, it's fluffy, it's silly, the chorus isn't particularly hard-hitting, and in all likelihood it has no lasting value, but it's fun. Try to make it past those awkward opening seconds with their horribly kitschy "ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Texas girls!"...though, to be honest, the kitsch doesn't end there--we even get "yeehaw"'s interspersed throughout the song. It's still fun, though, in a far from serious and far from sophisticated way. By the way, the video appears to have had a budget of about, oh, zero dollars--everyone complaining about Girls Aloud videos: at least half the time isn't spent watching still photo montages. This is the original edit of the song; from the sounds of it, the pop edit doesn't sound very good at all.

To buy Texas Girls' debut single "Dallas It's My Life," go here (physical) or here (digital).

Next up: maybe something Swedish.
