@achewood I once had the idea that, if only for a moment each night, everyone in the world was asleep at the same time. It made the world manageable.

Quote from: "V-Adore"

Billy Mack is a detective down in Texas
You know, he knows just exactly what the facts is
He ain't gonna let those two escape justice
He makes his living off of the people's taxes


Texas.
Facts is.
Justice.
Taxes.


God bless you, Steve Miller.

I am putting myself at risk of incredible bodily pain and mental anguish. Ah, how much I love you people. Ahem:

Quote from: "Kelis"
My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard
And they're like, "It's better than yours."
Damn right, it's better than yours.
I could teach you, but I'd have to charge.



I'd better go listen to something bef--OH MY GOD THE BURNING! MAKE IT STOP!!!


EDIT: STILL WITH THE BURNING!

Jordy!

French novelty music (cf. Plastic Bertrand) is really something special. (relatedly, as of yesterday, I'm officially bilingual and never have to take French classes again!)

Train's "Drops of Jupiter" is also basically one giant wad of Bad Line.

As much as I love Billy Bragg,



There is no other songwriter whom I love as hard as I love Billy Bragg and yet so often want to slap upside the head.

See, maybe it just comes from the fact that I listened to it a whole lot at age 14, but I've always had a sick affection for that song. Maybe "Drops of Jupiter" came too late?

Wait, "Drops of Jupiter" has both horrible lyrics and perhaps the smarmy song message ("screw your self-actualization and personal goals! Come back to this stinking town and ME, wo-man!"). I don't think it ever would have been good.

Whoa, a song where they say 'the lack thereof'?  This has to win some kind of prize.

I have to hear this without paying money for it.  Maybe I will have to finally figure out that illegal downloading of music thing that all you kids today do.

I got into a FIGHT with someone because they thought that "MacArthur Park" was the most beautiful song ever. It sucks the testerone out of me.

How about:

Someone's knockin' at the door
somebody's ringin' the bell
Someone's knockin' at the door
somebody's ringin' the bell
Do me a favour open the door and let'em in.

Sister Suzie
brother John
Martin Luther
Phil and Don
Brother Michael
auntie Gin
open the door and let'em in.

Someone's knockin' at the door
somebody's ringin' the bell . . .
Sister Suzie

Uncle Ernie
auntie Gin
open the door and let'em in.

remember that one, old timers?

I don't know about most beautiful song ever, but I quite like it.  Sure it's got a cake in the rain, but It's also got a great melody.  It's got majestic swells and a driving beat.  It's got a man called hoss.  It's sung by f'n Dumbledore f'r cryin' out loud.

Ok, I don't like this thread anymore.

You know, previous to this I hadn't connected "MacArthur Park" Harris and "Dumbledore" Harris. And now I can't deconnect them.

Well, V, if you have a hankering for the late 60's Richard Harris interpreting Jimmy Webb songs, here are some albums for you:
