Pop music is often pornographic. Pop music videos are almost ALWAYS pornographic. But it is rare for a pop song/video to be as unapologetic and unabashedly pornographic as the latest single from Taio Cruz, "Dirty Picture". This Paul Oakenfold-inspired trance/techno hybrid sound is a feast for the ears and the theme itself is one that, in the age of camera phones and webcams, is familiar to many of us and makes for a not-so-surprisingly catchy hook for a dance floor grind-fest. And that's why I love pop music - it's not afraid to express itself in ways that arguably lower the standards of decency in an already indecent medium.
And hey, anything that features Ke$ha is audio-visual gold to me.
