zev Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Decided to look up this particular video the other day. YouTube rabbit hole led me to a dozen different covers of it. One Direction's wasn't the worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert C Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 I hate Billy Idol. I mean really hate him. He's not quite on the level of my all time shit list, which is taken up by Thin Lizzy, Aerosmith and Morrissey, but he's right there below them. I haven't heard more than a few seconds of his music in a couple decades So of course I woke up with this shit stuck in my head today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstout Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 You don't even like "Cowboy Song" by Thin Lizzy? The hits, I'll give ya. That one, though, is an all-time classic. Could be because I associate it with a friend of mine who introduced me to the song who passed away a while back, but it's still a classic with some of the greatest twin guitar ever. I could think of worse ones to have stuck in your head than this one, which sticks in my head quite a bit: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert C Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Thin Lizzy could have the greatest back catalog ever and it wouldn't matter. The Boys Are Back In Town (AKA the song that killed classic rock dead for me) cancels out everything positive about them. It takes a lot of suck for a song to kill off an entire genre of music, but they managed it for me. My periodic listening in GTA is the most I've listened to the stuff in two decades. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstout Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Classic Rock, by definition, exists to make you tired of it. I'll defend Skynyrd as a good band to people who say they hate them, only because their hate is driven by hearing too damn much of them. That said, I don't ever wanna hear a Skynyrd song again. There's a bunch of Zeppelin I'm tired of, and they're pretty iconic. Then there's people I never liked in the first place, like Bob Seger. Radio is a lost cause - there's not a format for people like us who're too old for the new shit and too young to still fondly look back on "The Boys Are Back in Town." Friend of mine who works in radio and I came up with a format that's like classic rock with a hyooge playlist that goes deep into people like the Stones to play stuff that doesn't get played every day. Then market it as a "thinking man's classic rock" format - "If you love good music, you'll love this station. If you are a music fan, you will love this station." But studies show that stations do best when they keep the playlist tight as shit and play the same stuff into the ground. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jstout Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I got this one deeply lodged in my head the other day, and the funny thing is that I have never liked the song. Didn't like it when it came out, don't like it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted June 28, 2016 Author Share Posted June 28, 2016 A man sits down to write a letter, But instead he writes a book The book begins: "Dear Sir, I don't if you're interested But your wife is a whore" A man gets on a train and proceeds To take all his clothes off He begins to play with himself, and he says "In my country, this is definitely not offensive" A man pours petrol through his neighbour's letterbox And throws in a match The house is engulfed in flames As the neighbours jump from the upstairs window He films the whole thing on video He plays it back to them later in hospital "Things have been pretty dull at home without you" he says A man pushes a lawn mower Two hundred miles on his knees To the tomb of the unknown gardener "Great one" he cries "I've done my penance. I bring my offering. Grant me, grant me, grant me, pest-free roses" Psycho Street, friendly people down on Psycho Street Good neighbours down on Psycho Street And if you need a hand, need a friend, we understand And if you need a pal, we'll be there, anyhow Psycho Street, Psycho Street, Psycho Street A man stakes his neighbour's cat To the barbecue and turns on the gas "Now are you going to talk" he says "Or am I going to have to get nasty?" A man has an inflatable doll made That looks exactly like his wife He murders his wife, dissolves her body in acid And marries the doll Three years later, he leaves her for another doll A man hands his son a brick and says "Son, throw this brick through the greenhouse next door" The boy does The boy next door throws one back It hits the man on the head and mortally wounds him "Ah well" he says, as his life blood trickles away "Boys will be boys" A thoughtful woman sends her best friend a parcel Inside, it says, is a free sample, full body beauty treatment But really it contains acids and chemicals When her friend tries it, her hair falls out, Her face is wrinkled and her body scarred The thoughtful woman turns to her husband and winks And says "Pre-emptive strike" Psycho Street, friendly people down on Psycho Street Good neighbors down on Psycho Street If you need a hand, need a friend, we understand And if you need a pal, we'll be there, anyhow Oh Psycho Street, Psycho Street, Psycho Street Psycho Street, Psycho Street, Psycho Street Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamp, broken circa 1988 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 In any house in the world there is background of flames In any house in the world there is background of storms And any house in the world a winter spent alone Wherever I have done a thing for love it has ruined me Rebuild the day out of flames Rebuild the day out of the silence of that day I'm going to choose, I will have to choose Whenever I have done a thing in flames Whenever I have done a thing in flames It has saved me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Weak Machine Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Just one of those days where you wonder, "Why is this thing in my head?" What will you do if we let you go home, And the plastic's all melted and so is the chrome? Who are the brain police? What will you do when the label comes off, And the plastic's all melted and the chrome is too soft? Who are the brain police? What will you do if the people you knew Were the plastic that melted and the chromium, too? Who are the brain police? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jstout Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Mentioned songs I never liked getting stuck in my head - late last night, so it counts, here comes "Need You Tonight" by INXS. Again. Never liked that damn song, don't like it now, find myself singing the riff over and and over and over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert C Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 There are a couple dozen songs that seem to be on a semi-permanent loop in my head. Mostly old, slow country songs. For the last 3 days it's been Billy Joe Shaver. Three fingers whiskey pleasures the drinkersMoving does more than that drinking for meWilly, he tells me that doers and thinkersSay moving's the closest thing to being freeHe's a rosined, he's a rigging, he laid back his wagesHe's a dead set on riding on the big rodeosMy woman's tight with an overdue babyWilly keeps yelling, "Hey gypsy, let's go"Willy, you're wild as a Texas Blue NortherReady rolled from the same makings as meAnd I reckon we'll ramble till hell freezes overWilly, the wandering gypsy and meNow ladies, we surely will take up your favorsAnd we'll surely warn ya there never will beA single soul living can put brand or handleOn Willy, the wandering gypsy and meWell, they dance on the mountains and they shout in the canyonsAnd they swarm in a loose herd like wild buffaloesJamming our heads full of figures and anglesTelling us shit that we already knowWilly, you're wild as a Texas Blue NortherReady rolled from the same makings as meAnd I reckon we'll ramble till hell freezes overWilly, the wandering gypsy and me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
