foxmonkeyDay 02 - Your least favourite song
Easy, easy, easy. While there are many contenders for the crown, this song just makes my skin crawl. The main reason I hate it? Lyrics. Anyone wanting to inflict their lyrical musings on others should be required to pass a basic literacy exam. Ladies and gentlemen, the first line from "Somebody to Shove":
"Grandfather watches the grandfather clock and the phone hasn't rang in so long...time flies by like a vulture in the sky...suddenly he breaks into song"
The first time I heard this I nearly choked on my tongue. Aiiiiii! Foaming-at-the-mouth here. If I were the lyricist's (HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! I use the term so loosely it's sliding down around my ankles) mother, I'd be tempted to pop him up 'side the head every single time I saw him. Hasn't rang in so long. OH MY GOD, I COULD KILL SOMEONE, THIS MAKES ME SO CRAZY.
And! Found this gem of a rant online. Post subject: I'd almost forgotten just how bad Soul Asylum was... Too funny, and too true. ;-)

Date: 2010-08-28 03:43 am (UTC)Isn't it awful? It's not even so-bad-it's-good kind of bad. It's "reach for the off switch as quickly as possible" kind of bad. I'm not sure why I haven't deleted it from my iPod. ::ponders the awfulness::
