Despite containing two youth-culture slang words that drive me absolutely bonkers (“hella” and “boo,” for anyone who cares to keep count), I otherwise can’t resist “Hot Mess” by Cobra Starship (or space-snake captain Gabe Saporta, for that matter).

The title track from the band’s third LP serves as the follow-up to their #7 hit “Good Girls Go Bad,” which sported a vocal (and visual) assist from Gossip Girl actress Leighton Meester. Like its inescapable predecessor, “Hot Mess” was written by Cobra Starship with Kevin “Let It Rock” Rudolf and American Idol judge Kara DioGuardi (among others). And just like “Good Girls Go Bad,” good luck in extricating this amped-up piece of pop from your head:

Shake it, shake it, shake it, yeah, you know what to do. With the release of second single “Hot Mess,” Cobra Starship goes two for two. I’m loving it, hell yes.
