I Like Whatever's On the Radio

How is everybody not freaking out over how great Boyz is? It's a great song, has such amazing dancing in the video. The freshest thing all year. Saw it two months ago, but assumed we were waiting to freak out until the album came out. Well now it's leaked, so I'm officially freaking out. This song, video... everything is amazing.

Also: there is a YouTube thing going on where people are dancing like crazy to this song and making little videos. And they're all great.
