In fact, I can't relate it to anything at all - being that I have no idea who Fun are that a lot of people are saying it sounds like (and to be fair, I have no interest in knowing either.)

DevilSon I haven't listened to it repeatedly because I'm trying to justify liking it - if I did that I'd have played Aftermath Of The Lowdown a lot more than the approximate two and a half times I've listened to the full album. And I said myself for the first 30 seconds to a minute of Because We Can my reaction was pure confusion mixed possibly with some horror...but then the melody caught me and I enjoyed it. It's no Keep The Faith, Stick To Your Guns, Blood On Blood or Love's The Only Rule. I'm not even sure it's a One Wild Night or Captain Crash. Those songs I'd all rate somewhere between eight and whatever I'm allowed to go up to after ten for something like KTF.

It is what it is. Part of me's even annoyed at myself for liking it, but I can't help it. So somewhere in that poppy, happy, overproduced shine there must be something resembling a tune.
If you saw the trailer for The Apprentice last year which was played to death, the song in the background was by Fun. It's a pop song basically.
