When it comes to bands, there are the good, the bad, and then… there’s LMFAO. It’s hard to categorize LMFAO, because it is such a quirky duo. The band is made up of two DJs who describe their sound as “party rock.”
But although their music might be difficult to classify, it’s also difficult not to enjoy. The songs “Party Rock Anthem” and “Sexy and I Know It” have become huge hits. Even if you think the group is a little silly, you’ll probably find yourself humming along the next time you hear one of these songs on the radio. Hear Marni and Jason talk about this popular duo.

Jason: You know what song is everywhere right now? “Party Rock Anthem.”
Marni: Oh, that LMFAO song?
Jason: Yes.
Marni: “Party rockers in the house tonight.”
Jason: That’s pretty good.
Marni: Yeah. It gets stuck in my head all the time and it makes me crazy.
Jason: Why? You mean it just makes you want to dance down the street? That’s what it makes me want to do. It makes me want to go out and buy a neon shirt and put that on and just like…go to the club.
Marni: Sure, I mean, they’re doing something right, ‘cause that song is everywhere, like you said. But what’s the deal? They’re just two guys, kinda quirky, weird…
Jason: That’s kind of the new model for a band, you know? It’s just, like, two guys. You don’t need a whole band, you can just have two guys making some electronic sounds and singing to it. It seems very current to do that, to me.
Marni: Yeah. You know, they also have that song, “I’m Sexy and I Know It,” and I have to say, I did watch the video for that song, and it was pretty funny.
Jason: See, you can’t resist.
Marni: I know! What is it?
Jason: Cheesy dance music has a power.
Marni: I guess so.

Jason says that he’s been hearing the LMFAO hit “Party Rock Anthem” everywhere. It’s very popular right now. Jason likes the song. It makes him want to dance and wear quirky clothes like the two guys in the band. He can’t resist LMFAO’s fun sound.
Marni agrees that LMFAO is hard to resist. But she doesn’t really love the band. Their songs get stuck in her head a lot, but she finds them a little weird and cheesy.
LMFAO isn’t exactly a band. It’s really a duo, because there are only two guys in the group. They don’t play instruments. Instead, they make electronic music and sing to it. Jason thinks that’s a popular way to make music right now.
Are you a fan of LMFAO? Do you like quirky bands? What songs make you want to dance?
