This music choice is making me nauseous - and I don't need that. I was under the weather yesterday & this is threatening to bring all that back. What a hackneyed, saccharine selection.

I already got sick in the program music thread.

It must be really easy to get permission to use that 'music' -- is it in the public domain?

More like “no one in their right mind would pay for this.”

Mother of all creatures…

First, I thought they must mean music by madonna…

Then I went to Apple iTunes and the song wasn’t even there at all … I’m like what the heck song are they talking about…

Then I went to YouTube to play the song and I spit out all my coffee, and I think I will not be able to eat for the rest of the day, this has to be an April fools joke in July? No?

Did Drew give them this or not the queen of all time Natalia?

Why would kids in their late teens early 20s want this music?

Oh, this has Drew's fingerprints ALL over it.

I had never heard that song until i looked it up just now. Wow. Terrible. Maybe they will surprise everyone and do a death metal version?

You must have repressed a lot of figure skating in the last 45 years.

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Here's what I was talking about in the World Pros competition - two teams of the literal biggest stars of skating at the time having to do a group number to this (and Sing, Sing, Sing because the songs go together so well and all).

We need to resurrect the "I'm an outcast because...." thread because I like "Music" both generally and for skating .

Jacob Sanchez did a fantastic job with it last season, and the audiences loved it. It's so cheesy that it becomes wonderful.

And it goes better with Sing, Sing, Sing than it did with "Where Have All the Flowers Gone," which is what Berenzhaya and Shliakhov combined it with.

I do agree that Jacob Sanchez did a fantastic job with it last season. I will reserve judgement on WilLew until we see their programs, but I haven't seen anything from either that makes me think they come close to Jacob's charisma and I suspect that rizz is a critical ingredient in one's ability to pull off this cheesy music choice.

For me, Naomi Williams/Lachlan Lewer have tons of charisma and personality, and I always look forward to seeing them skate together.
Hope they will compete again at Nicks!

I'm guessing they will - the only question being whether they compete jr or sr. Having no shot at a GP this season, I'm wondering if they're going back to the JGP.
