Bruno Mars "Doo-Wops and Hooligans"

He starts with an explosion of pop perfection that is as dangerous as a "Grenade." A story of the type of relationship that most anyone can relate to, and a sister to the piano sound that proclaimed Hip Hop Saved My Life. "Our First Time" that we heard of Mr. Mars was when he told a special girl that "All the other girls have Nothin' on You" with B.O.B. This time, he sounds like JT with a slow jam (reggae-lite edition). When the song starts and during the middle, he almost sounds like Weezy; just in his delivery, and the music in the background. "Runaway Baby" just spewed on me its awesomeness with its punky attitude, and a mixture of soul, funk, and rock. I love this line: "So many eager young bunnies/That I'd like to pursue/Now even now they eating out the palm of my hand/ There's only one carrot and they all gotta share it."                                                                               He must be tired, because "The Lazy Song" has the perfect amount of complexity and the lyrics at times are hilarious: "I'm gonna kick my feet up/Then stare at the fan/Turn the TV on, throw my hand in my pants/Nobody's gonna tell me I can't"; he also mentions having nice sex. I mean what the flip?? The radios didn't even start censoring that part until they have played it for a while). The instrumentals make for a breezy summer hit; probably for anytime you're feeling lazy, I guess. Bassline: "We're looking for something dumb to do /Hey baby/I think I wanna marry you" Drums: "That doesn't mean you get to bang me right away just because we're married." Wedding bells are the hook throughout the song in a quicker pace; it's a nice cute diddy to listen to when you're looking for something dumb to do, but baby why would I say it's stupid when I think I wanna "Marry You."      To be alone, and have no one talk to at the time when most everyone is asleep has got me "Talking to the Moon" which is a more depressing song, but is still sonically appealing.  I can almost see this performed on Broadway, and the subtle cosmic intervention of keys is the perfect touch.               This is a rasta-rocker, featuring the son of world-renowned reggae artist Bob Marley. "He was more than just a reggae artist." A heckuva lot more, but yeah, Damian Marley is in this track, and has set his own path for himself with music that can stand on its own regardless of his relation. This song gives me a shot of "Liquor Store Blues," but I don't drink, so I guess I'm feeling on top. You can "Count on Me" to be a pain; to be annoying and slightly confusing in general, or in what I write; to care for others and be interested in how they're doing, and to do what I can to help. This song has some light strings, hand drums, and more lovely harmonies, along with that powerful sentiment.I wonder if Israel "IZ" Kaʻanoʻi Kamakawiwoʻole was somewhere over the rainbow watching this song be pieced together.                                                                                                                            What do you get when you have a man from mars, Cee-Lo Green, B.O.B., cosmic keys,  technobeat ending, and a doo-wop/funk/soul mutt? A song from "The Other Side." If I was in the mood for listening to doo-wops and chillin' with some hooligans I recommend playing these tracks: Grenade, Runaway Baby, The Lazy Song, Count on Me, Liquor Store Blues, and The Other Side. However, all of the other songs are worth checking out as well, if they weren't heard by your ears yet.
