I was at Tim Hortons getting a coffee and donut and they were playing “Hot” by Avril Lavigne (I know, right? – so Canadian). While listening to it, I noticed it shared some musical characteristics with T-Pain’s “Buy U a Drank,” which was also getting a lot of radio play at the time (winter-spring ’08). [...]
