Heidi Montag uses Taylor Momsen’s Song

[I miss the old Taylor Momsen]

“I wrote a pop song [called ‘Blackout’ when I was 8] and recorded it with a producer as a demo. Heidi Montag from ‘The Hills’ just recently sang it and put it out as her single. I’m like, OK, dude, you’re singing an 8-year-old’s words, but that’s cool.” – Taylor Momsen in Revolver Magazine.

I decided to do a little digging to find out more about this said song. I listened to it and though it wasn’t good, it wasn’t necessarily bad either. I’m sure that I would enjoy it more if it were sung by Britney Spears, but because I knew it came from Heidi Montag slash Taylor Momsen the likability has lessened.

Here’s a snippet of the lyrics from the chorus:

Black out the satellite, where should we run to?
It’s gettin physical boy
And if you want to go somewhere no one can find us
We can get out of here

Black out the satellite and be my road star
You wanted anything else so show ya my heart
Let’s leave this city behind us
We can get out of here

Questions:

Are we surprised that Heidi Montag is singing these lyrics? No.

Shocked that Taylor wrote about getting physical with a boy at age 8? Very.
