The first obstacle to overcome when listening to Girls Aloud is to understand that you simply cannot like one of their songs right off the bat. They are meant to sustain multiple listens until eventually you've succumbed to their insanely genius nature. This is exactly the case with "Sexy! No No No...". Like their previous masterpieces, "Sexy!" takes liberty with what is a verse and what is a chorus, and by the time it ends you feel like you've heard four or five different songs in the mix. Every minute detail from the eerie vocoder in the intro to the snaky guitar during the first verse is expertly executed and altogether frighteningly weird. The highlight of all this takes place toward the end, where Nadine repeats the "I can't deny, no way my d-d-dirty mind" verse as the bassline lurches back and forth, like a lion trying to see-saw its way out of a cage. It's so fantastic that if there were any doubts about the song after its admittedly limp chorus, that ferocious ending is enough to completely turn the tide and make it the brilliant piece of modern pop that it is.

i admit it does take me a bit to get into certain songs...but not with Sexy No No No. I loved it from the jump and all the different effects and vocals going on in this single only make it that much better. I've been a fan of Girls Aloud since 2002 when they first came out and they keep pushing the boundaries on pop music and i love every bit of it. Also included is a very nicely down remix of Sexy No No No (Tony Lamezma's "Yes Yes Yes Mix). Bonus track "Dog Without a Bone" kinda cool as well. Give this a listen or two and i think you just might get hooked by it as well, enjoy.
