I love this stupid song. :heart:

Part of my animosity toward electro dance pop is traced to the fact that we were completely swamped with
it here in Oz during the 2000's. It kicked off around 2004 with stuff like Mr. Timothy, Dirty South, TV Rock and the Rogue Traders (with their awful rework of My Sharona). Toward the end of the decade there was the Stafford Brothers, Timmy Trumpet, Joel Fletcher and Will Sparks. It just seemed like it wouldn't go away.

"Rolling In The Deep" and "Somebody that I Used To Know' seemed a breath of fresh air after hearing "Party Rock Anthem" nonstop for half a year

Fair enough. I don't listen to the radio (voluntarily) very often so I wasn't subjected to an oversaturation of that stuff. I've been stuck dealing with muzak playlists that included Ed Sheeran and Adele plenty though. Every store seems to have the same 12 tracks on repeat and they're always the most pablum songs imaginable.

^ :lol: That song is hilarious.

I’m going to deviate slightly from my original purpose for this thread. Unlike many songs here, I really hate this one. I hate it more than most Guns and Roses’ songs and that’s saying a lot.

I’m giving it a trigger warning. The lyrics are offensive, too.

Contrary to popular belief that the song is about a girlfriend of Axl Rose, the song was written as a joke. Izzy Stradlin stated, "I was sitting around listening to the radio and some guy was whining about a broad who was treating him bad. I wanted to take the radio and smash it against the wall. Such self-pity! What a wimp! So we rewrote the same song we heard with a better ending."

A song that I’m certain Cornflake will appreciate:

I would think everything in the Bonzo Dog Band catalogue would qualify, but I'll just post one example:

I find this song to be both brilliant and stoooooooopid.

This is less about the song and more about the video. Having gone with my dad to construction jobs when I was a teenager, I know that licking sledgehammers is extremely unsanitary. I hope she didn’t get sick afterwards.

Mom, can we have Eye of the Tiger?

No dear, we have Eye of the Tiger at home.

This was supposed to be the theme song for my roadtrip yesterday, but I wasn’t in a silly enough mood for that. It will feature in a future thread, though. :lol:
