"Starstrukk" (CD single) (by 3OH!3, Hip-hop)

Current kings of crunk (a musical mixture of hip-hop and electronica) 3OH!3 have teamed up with envelope-pushing pop singer Katy Perry in a reissue of STARSTRUKK, a single from their full-length album Want. The song once again finds the guys down on girls, with lyrics that describe how all women flaunt their bodies in an attempt to hook men -- but 3OH!3 isn't falling for it. Instead, the artists just "set [women] up to knock them down" and don't feel the least bit sorry for it. Though these super caustic lyrics may be a thinly veiled attempt to cover up a broken heart, hurting someone at random is never understandable -- and not the right message for young kids who are just learning the relationship ropes. 

Biting lyrics aside, STARSTRUKK's got a lot going for it musically. A cool, electro-infused beat serves as the song's backdrop, and the catchy talk-sing delivery of the 3OH!3 guys is juxtaposed against Perry's strong vocals in the chorus. As a result, the reissue featuring Perry is even more appealing than the original version.
