Last Song Syndrome

Richie and I were driving to Podium for ICON’s post-partum of the Invasion issue and planning for the January to March 2006 issue when I was caught by this über catchy song on the corner of EDSA and pioneer. I immediately liked the the beat, which is very rare because I usually have to listen to a new song twice or thrice before I like it. I didn’t like Madonna’s Hung Up instantly, but this song had such a gay vibe. I told Richie it was the Sugababes and true enough the DJ confirmed it. I knew I had to download it and since then, I’ve been playing it over and over: in my laptop, on my phone (thanks to Vince Uy who made it my ringtone), in Richie’s car and just today I download the video. The song is called Push The Button.

I’ve always been a fan of the Sugababes since I heared Round Round and Overload. I love the beats and their multi-racial combination. The album cover and lyrics are worth sharing.



Push the button [x4]

I'm busy throwing hints that he keeps missing
Don't have to think about it
I Wanna kiss and
Everything around it but he's too distant
I wanna feel his body
I can't resist it

I know my hidden looks can be deceiving
But how obvious should a girl be?
I was taken by the early conversation piece
And I really like the way that he respect me

I've been waiting patiently for him to come and get it
I wonder if he knows that he can say it and I'm with it
I knew I had my mind made up from the very beginning
Catch this opportunity so you and me could feel it 'cos

If you're ready for me boy
You'd better push the button and let me know
Before I get the wrong idea and go
You're gonna miss the freak that I control

I'm busy showing him what he's been missing
I'm kind of showing off for his full attention
My sexy ass has got him in the new dimension
I'm ready to do something to relieve this mission

After waiting patiently for him to come and get it
He came on through and asked me if I wanted to get with him
I knew I had my mind made up from the very beginning
Won't miss this opportunity so you and me could feel it 'cos

If you're ready for me boy
You'd better push the button and let me know
Before I get the wrong idea and go
You're gonna miss the freak that I control

If you're ready for me boy
You'd better push the button and let me know
Before I get the wrong idea and go
You're gonna miss the freak that I control

I've been dropping so many hints
You’re still not getting it
Now that you’ve heard everything I have to say
Where we gonna go from here?

After waiting patiently for him to come and get it
He came on through and asked me if I wanted to get with him
I knew I had my mind made up from the very beginning
Won't miss this opportunity so you and me could feel it 'cos

If you're ready for me boy
You'd better push the button and let me know
Before I get the wrong idea and go
You're gonna miss the freak that I control

If you're ready for me boy
You'd better push the button and let me know
Before I get the wrong idea and go
You're gonna miss the freak that I control
(I control)

If you're ready for me boy
(For me boy)
You'd better push the button and let me know
Before I get the wrong idea and go
You're gonna miss the freak that I control
