On Somebody to Love

There is no such thing as a song titled "Somebody to Love" that is not good.

First and foremost, Queen's Somebody to Love which is melodic perfection.


Then Jefferson Airplane's Somebody to Love.  While not the best song by some incarnation of the Jeffersons (We Built This City, obvi), it is sung by Jim Carrey in his most underrated film.

Then there's Leighton Meester.  While the weakest of the Somebody to Loves, it does have the sexiest video.  It's also not too shabby for one of the gossip girls.  Bonus points for having Robin (son of Alan) Thicke on the song.  Show me that smile again, Leighton.

And lastly, the version that has been stuck in my head/inspired this post, is the Bieber.  Now look people, y'all need to put down the Haterade with Biebz.  Sure, he looks factory produced with hair sculpted from Samson's remnants but the kid makes fun pop songs.  He probably has no idea what love is, but that is nobody's problem except for him and Selena Gomez.  So for 3 minutes and 39 seconds, let's just all shut down that part of our brain that thinks critically and join Justin on his search for Somebody to Love.  I promise: Bieber Fever is not fatal.
