Todd's Pop Song Reviews2009



Todd in the Shadows:
[on the #9 entry: "Shake You Down"] This is what happens when you let quiet storm ballads be written by people who probably spent the entire 80s wearing Cosby sweaters. Seriously, "shake you down"? I get "love you down", "lay you down", "rub you down", maybe. But "shake you down"? I might not have known what Usher meant when he said "break you down", but I do know what shaking someone down means. A shakedown is an extortion. Gregory Abbott is threatening to mug you. Isn't that right, Bob Seger? [Clip of Bob Seger's "Shakedown"] Yeah, Seger knows what he's talking about. By the way, [checks the Billboard Top 100] "Shakedown" by Bob Seger - another hit from 1987 this was bigger than.
