The Worst Song Ever

[Wes]

After watching it a few times, I think the best part of the Jacko video is actually the very beginning, when it shows that photo of his face in the background which makes it seem like Jacko has died, and we're about to view a memorial for him. But then it disappears and Jacko himself pops in from the left side of the frame, smiling, as if to say "Gotcha, I'm not dead at all, as it turns out!"

Try this one on for size:

At 1:30 all bow down to the best face melting guitar solo ever!

Do you think he and Paul Hogan were the best of friends or the worst of enemies?

I like to think that Paul Hogan is a friend to everyone. He just seems like that kind of easygoing guy. But I could see he and Jacko perhaps not completely getting along because of how differently they approach life. Still, whenever any kind of disaster or threat to Australia crops up, I have no doubt that the two of them would join together - along with Yahoo Serious, Rolf Harris and the feral kid and gyro captain from The Road Warrior - to save the day.

On this 'I'd rather Jack' song:

First off, catchy song.  Thanks for that.  It's been in my head all morning.  I need to drive it out.

Also, who's Jack?  Or does it mean 'I'd rather have nothing than Fleetwood Mac'?

Also if we'd had that attitude here in the USA, we would have had 4 more years of Bush I, so I'm glad the song didn't catch fire here.

I was so sick this weekend that I pretty much just left the TV on the same station for 48 hours. This meant I got to watch the Junos in all their delightful entirety, and while the whole thing was pretty terrible, the worst part was definitely the live version of this thing:

Between this, Nickelback and the 10-minute Loverboy tribute, I was pretty ashamed of us.

You know what, I know I've laid my cards on the table by exposing you all to BrokeNCYDE and exhibiting my severe distaste for their watered-down yet amazingly, hostilely stupid emo-crunk, but to hell with it: I like Loverboy. This is probably because they were my idea of what rock music was when I was five, and that kind of stuck with me. (It is also probably because there is something wrong with my brain.) I will say that they had the good sense to try and stop making hits 20 years after they were popular, which is more than I can say for Bon Jovi.

Between this, Nickelback and the 10-minute Loverboy tribute, I was pretty ashamed of us.

I didn't watch (I actually worked on the Junos show for several years, so I know better than to watch it), but I heard on the news this morning that Nickelback swept every category, plus won the Fan's Choice award. It's really super depressing, especially since pop music in Canada has actually never been better than it is right now.

Oh Canada, what are we going to do with you?

Is the 10 minute loverboy tribute on-online somewhere? I got 10 minutes for Loverboy, yes sir!

The answer is clearly "That Smell" by Lynyrd Skynyrd.
















Whiskey bottles, and brand new cars
Oak tree youre in my way
Theres too much coke and too much smoke
Look whats going on inside you
Ooooh that smell
Cant you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you

Angel of darkness is upon you
Stuck a needle in your arm
So take another toke, have a blow for your nose
One more drink fool, will drown you
Ooooh that smell
Cant you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you

Now they call you prince charming
Cant speak a word when youre full of ludes
Say youll be all right come tomorrow
But tomorrow might not be here for you
Ooooh that smell
Cant you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you

Hey, youre a fool you
Stick them needles in your arm
I know I been there before

One little problem that confronts you
Got a monkey on your back
Just one more fix, lord might do the trick
One hell of a price for you to get your kicks
Ooooh that smell
Cant you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you
Ooooh that smell
Cant you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you

Rodney Atkins - "Watching You"

I had to hear this song every time I laid out a page for about a year. I memorized it against my will.

Disappointing, I thought this was going to be a KISS cover.  Although I believe that title is "Watchin' You."

Are you sure it isn't called "Watchin' You Squirm Under My Lecherous Gaze?"  That would be more accurate.

This song could be considered either one of the worst songs ever or one of the best songs ever. I don't know.

Sign, Sign, Everywhere a Sign.   


That song is a solution in search of a problem.

Brian Wilson - "Smart Girls". Has this not been suggested? It's exactly the same concept as "Original Wrapper", just way more insane.

What is this? Brilliance, that's what!

[marnold]

Yeah. It's unbelievable. Truly the dumbest project in the laundry list of dumb Beach Boys projects.
