When I Say 1 Million Times, I Mean It

Quite often I get musically obsessed with a cover song I find on YouTube. Generally, I watch the video six or seven dozen times and move onto some other bright, shiny object.

This time is different. My latest obsession is a cover of Rhianna's Only Girl in the World, which is a jam I already am at risk of overplaying. But when I heard the Conor Maynard version, I found myself going as far as downloading the free MP3 and listening to it on repeat. (I'm listening to it now, in fact. And likely will hit replay four or five times before I finish this post.)

When I say listening to it on repeat, I mean I went through an entire 90-minute workout listening only to that song. I didn't even know Conor Maynard existed before this video. I didn't even know it was possible to make the song better, but mixing in Kelly Rowland's Commander in the end does the trick.

I really am fast-approaching the 1 million plays. It's a good thing MP3s don't wear out like CDs or cassettes. Otherwise, I would go broke on this one.

So, watch. Enjoy. Obsess.
