i'm so moving on

Tonight... I uttered words I never thought I'd... well, utter: "Have you heard the new Ashlee Simpson song?". Those who know me are familiar with my musical listening habits... and how pop-free they are, however I'm beginning to understand how the genre of "pop music" has over-taken our country- possibly the world- without any considerable effort ( Read more... )

Pop....Muzak swpsox January 9 2005, 18:08:36 UTC

Here's the deal. You're right, you are 100% right. When I reacted with such scorn to the idea of an ashlee simpson song in anyone's head I overreacted. Who among us hasn't hummed to the melody of hit my baby one more time or crooned some other song knowing that the composer was this guy and the arranger was AUTOTUNE. Who among us hasn't ached to be our own pop star. Now this isn't to say there is no talent in the pop world or that pop music is all bad. The beatles were pop music and no one can argue with michael jackson but yeah...adolecent girls in not enough spandex to cover my ass is never the direction you want to go. So while we all have that band we sing along to in the car, you're right...the boys at Z100 are to be crucified. The summer that I worked nights stocking the grocery store I could have recited every word of the top 40 without blinking. It's addictive but I think it has more of a stranglehold on you...maybe you were made for each other.

but scott won't know these lyrics; he'll google them like he does certain other things (ask me sometime). Regardless, these lyrics are to him, because to paraphrase yourself cass, you "effing rule". To Scottie:
There's a little girl I know,
you might know her too,
she looks so good, she looks so cute,
standing next to you.
And I don't know what to do...
I want your girlfriend to be my,
I want your girlfriend to be my,
I want your girlfriend to be my girlfriend
too.

How's that for good popish music?

So here are the two issues with your post my friend

1) Why would I not know the lyrics to that tune...as if you discovered reel big fish
2) You know that the girlfriend continuum only swings one way buddy...sorry
Anyway, you have a pretty eclectic taste and you work in a retail store...you must have some chart topper that you hum in the shower.

Whilst in the shower the songs in my head (and possibly echoing off the shower curtain) range anywhere from "The Final countdown" (that's a funny reference if you didn't know) to "IT'S PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME"!
In all seriousness, you know that lately i've been mixing Damien Rice with "KID motha-fuckin ROCK from da old skool".
Yucky me.
And yes, I DID discover RBF. They came to me (knowing I often produce bands that mix brass instruments with popish rock) and I told them, "look fellas, some catchy shit here, but seriously, the world needs a(nother) song about Beer!" Yeah, if you read the liner notes I'm in the thank yous JUST after God.

What is this thread about?
Oh yeah, Ashlee Simpson sucks. Cassie Knkokekdkeklk is cool.

Stopping the madness, agreeing with everyone and saying Cassie K-noedlmonsterski-ski is cool...well maybe
