I would give my Mom and Step Dad the mortgage to their house.

Alisa A, Universal Music

I'd give cash to myself, lol

Tim Williams, Sr. Producer CBS Los Angeles

MP3 LMFAO "YES"

Instant eargasm. If you embrace new music and enjoy the fun, hip, music of tomorrow, then you need to do yourself a favor and check out LMFAO's "YES". This infectious track is creating quite a buzz in Hollywood. The sound could be defined as 80s synth and electronic meets the future of music. Their style is fresh and innovative and it doesn't hurt that one of their biggest supporters is Paris Hilton. You may need to enter yourself into a clinic for addiction after just one listen though, as the song captivates you and sticks in your head after just fifteen seconds into the song. "YES" is three minutes of pure party.

Red Foo and his nephew Sky Blue have worked on music individually in the past, but finally came together in April of 2007 to form LMFAO. Some interesting facts about LMFAO include 1) Chris Tucker came to one of their shows and told them they were funny. 2) Before calling themselves LMFAO, they were "Mixed Nuts" and "Cool Dudes". 3) Red Foo recorded the Dialated Peoples and Black Eyed Peas original demos. He was the only guest rapper on BEP's first album. 4) They describe performing on stage as the equivalent to having sex with hot chicks; they think about it all of the time, anticipate doing it and are always adding new things and experimenting with new toys.

Check out "YES" by LMFAO here. If you are around the Los Angeles area during the holidays, LMFAO are playing at The Roxy on December 21st.

Chart Analysis

Chart Analysis SONS & DAUGHTERS DOUBLE UP: After a seven-week period of flux at the top spot of the Mediaguide Alternative Specialty Song chart an act has finally managed to cling to #1 for two weeks in row: Scottish quartet Sons & Daughters with "Gilt Complex" (Domino), which also remains at #2 on the Album side. Meanwhile, retaking the #1 slot on the Album end are indie darlings Spoon with Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga (Merge), who had previously enjoyed the view from the top with that album last summer; the resurgence is due to the strong #3 showing on the Song chart for latest single "Do You Evah." Sigur Ros retains the #2 slot on the Song side with "Hljmolind," helping full-length Hvarf/Heim (XL) stay strong at #6 on the Album index. Not much in the way of big debuts on the Song chart this week, with the top newcomer being Foo Fighters with "The Pretender" (Roswell/RCA) at #11, helping album Echoes, Silence, Patience and Grace rebound to #8 on that chart. Other Song chart debuts include The Hard Lessons at #14 with "See and Be Scene" (Quack! Media) and Say Anything with "Baby Girl, I'm a Blur" (Doghouse/J) at #16. In the wake of acclaimed performances in Los Angeles and New York City, Carbon/Silicon--the new project from longtime Alt heroes Mick Jones and Tony James--moves up to #3 on the Album chart with The Last Post (Caroline), buoyed by the #6 Song showing of "The News." Biggest move on both charts this week, though, belongs to the Blakes (Light in the Attic), whose self-titled album leaps 15-4 on the Album chart thanks to the performance of lead single "Don't Bother Me," which moves 16-7.
