SLO High seniors' music video goes viral, gets two million hits in a week - KSBY San Luis Obispo News |
| Posted: 20 Apr 2012 06:40 PM PDT With two million hits--and counting--on YouTube in a week, it's the music video getting a lot of buzz worldwide for its unique lyrics and questionable singing. Ccalled "Hot Problems," the two teens in it go to San Luis Obispo High School. The attention isn't all positive. In fact, some critics online are asking if it's the worst song ever made. But whether you think it deserves a Grammy or not, the video is getting these girls a lot of attention, even landing them on "Good Morning America" Friday. "Look at me and tell me the truth," Drew Garrett and Lauren Willey sing. "What do you do when people don't know what we go through?" When you think about it, it's really a cry for empathy. "Hot girls we have problems, too!" they sing. "We're just like you--except we're hot, hot, hot." Garrett and Willey, 17-year-old seniors at San Luis Obispo High School, also known as 'Double Take', and their music video 'Hot Problems' has made them a hot topic. "It's the duo Double Take getting a lot of attention right now," Robin Roberts said on 'Good Morning America' as she introduced the video. "The music video for their song 'Hot Problems' has gone wildly viral for all the wrong reasons." An ABC News correspondent asked the girls about the inspiration for their song. "You guys could have written a song about anything. Why about hot girls?" Abbie Boudreau, a reporter, asked. "We wanted something to show our friends," Willey replied. "We really didn't mean anything from it." When asked if she thought she was hot, Wiley replied, "We don't think we're that hot, no." Dubbed as a successor to Rebecca Black's song "Friday," the video has SLO High abuzz about their infamous classmates. "A lot of people are just like, 'Oh my god, that's so crazy that we have people on a viral video at our school, we know them,'" said Mikel Hansen, a senior there. "And the other half is like, how dare they get famous for doing a video like this." Hansen says he's in guitar class with the two girls, who premiered the song for the class before making a video. "They started off singing really serious," he said. "But as it went on and on, people started laughing and snickering and making comments. They kind of said, 'Oh, yeah. We just want to make a bunch of funny songs and make people laugh." According to Good Morning America, the girls have plans to attend college this fall. Garrett wants to major in animal science, while Willey wants to study international business.
