The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

I thought that theme was corny as hell even as a kid. It didn't help that I've always hated Wild Thing.matedog wrote: ↑23 Feb 2018, 7:14pmI thought you were talking about the cartoon theme song in which case, it goes the chorus almost immediately:drowninghere wrote: ↑23 Feb 2018, 3:49pmLove those songs - Swamp Thing is a great example

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
The Boss always forgets that running errands with me is better in the abstract than in practice. She drives, she picks the radio station, I make observations.
Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off" comes on.
Me (matter-of-factly): "This is not a good song. It is not constructed well and it is not performed well."
Semisonic's "Closing Time"
Me: "This is also not a good song. It should not be broadcast on the public airwaves."
Katy Perry's "Fireworks"
Me: "This, too, is not a good song. I don't understand why she sings it so ardently. That just draws attention to the fact that it is not good."

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
Your third take is as obviously correct as your first two are incorrect.

The first two are excellent.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

I'm with Hooks.
I feel that there is a fascistic element, for example, in the Rolling Stones . . .

I've studied the phenomenon of neo-provincialism in self-isolating online communities but this place takes the fucking cake.

Flex and Heston are not perceptive gentlemen; eumaas is a perceptive gentleman.

Swift's big hits are Frankensteined turds. And she's a fascist.
