Watch: Hot Chelle Rae takes us backstage for 'I Like It Like That' video
Hot Chelle Rae
Hot Chelle Rae aims straight for the middle of the road with its own party anthem for folks for whom LMFAO’s “Party Rock Anthem” is too “edgy.” “I Like It Like That” is a formulaic pop effort with the requisite “Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh” singalongs and a rap from the New Boyz meant to make the little girls scream.
[More after the jump...]
In the new video, we see the boys in Hot Chelle Rae (that’s Ryan, Ian, Nash and Jamie, if you’re over 14 and don’t know), introduced here a la “Saturday Night Live’s” opening. It’s the perfect adorbs video for the quartet’s young fans as we hang with them on the tour bus, seek them awkwardly greeting fans, goofing around on the basketball court, and performing.
The song is the perfect, light-as-a-feather summer hit and it’s... wait... October. Seems like the timing is a little late for this tune seasonally, but for a good reason: previous hit “Tonight Tonight” clung to the charts for a very very long time.
Whenever I hear this song or “Tonight Tonight,” however, I can’t get over two things: the band is really going to regret, if they don’t already, naming themselves after a internet stalker fan, and given their lineage —each member’s dad is a famous musicians and/or songwriter — I can’t believe there’s not more creativity in their songs, but “Tonight Tonight” went to No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100, so I’m in the minority.
Hot Chelle Rae’s next album, “Whatever,” streets Nov. 29.

November 12, 2011 at 4:03PM EST Reply to Commentit's so amazing to see the efforts of such a hard-working band finally pay off. I think most people are unaware of how long this group has been together and how they have put themselves through endless work/touring to get to where they are. I personally cannot wait for the new album... it'll be great to hear the difference now that they have the big budget and inspiration behind them! Woohoo just a couple more weeks to go! And if you haven't watched yet, please go watch their video for i like it like that... it's really incredible.
