So, Chris Brooker of The Guardian is very upset about Justin Timberlake's new song "Sexy Back." Not that he doesn't have a point about the lyrics. It's just really nice for him get upset about Justin Timberlake so we don't have to. He's angry for all of us, and it's fun to read! Now I don't have to trouble my pretty little mind about Justin Timberlake's dumb lyrics. Thank you Chris.
I usually let pop lyrics slide right by me, but I will say this though... remember that Clay Aiken song about being Invisible? Clay Aiken aside that song still creeps the Hell out of me out every time I hear it. He wants to be invisible just so he can watch a girl in her room? Ewww. (With Clay, "girl" is probably code for "guy," but the lyrics are still just plain icky & stalkerish.) No surprise to me that it made the list of 50 Worst Songs Ever. (Of course, "ever" means within the last 20 years -- I doubt they're including flops of the 1920s.)
Hi, I am Wing! I immigrated to New Zealand with my family about ten years ago from Hong Kong. I have been learning singing in New Zealand and I do performances in Rest Homes and Hospitals and occasionally promotional concerts as I go along.
I've been a dedicated fan of Wing's unique singing for many, many years. I've been on her mailing list since LONG before she had her own South Park episode. Listening to her always makes me strangely happy, even when some of the notes she hits cause a small trickle of blood to flow from my ears. It brings me joy that people have talked her into covering AC/DC. I just adore living in a world where Wing exists.
So IMAGINE my joy when yesterday Wing sent out an e-mail announcing the release of her new album... WING SINGS ELVIS!!! With me doing this whole Elvis theme and all, it feels like a gift from God.
So all of that said, may I now present... Wing singing "In The Ghetto." Life is so wonderful sometimes!
Finnish Doctor Ammondt has mixed his unique linguistic skills with his love for rock and roll by translating Elvis' music into ancientlanguages. I wish there were mp3s!
The Latin CD features hits such as Quate, Crepa, Rota (Shake, Rattle and Roll), Ursus Taddeus (Teddy Bear), Nunc Distrahor (All Shook Up), and Ne Saevias (Don't Be Cruel)
Here's a list of the worst country music song titles ever. (I think my personal favorite is "I Fell In A Pile Of You And Got Love All Over Me.") Wanna write your own country song? Try this lyric generator!
The picture of New York's Naked Cowboy at left is just because he makes me laugh... that guy really must catch an awful lot of colds.
Continuing on today's rock theme... few people know just how much went on behind the scenes to create those manly smooth 70's rock sounds we all know & love. The operatic yet thoughtful "Yacht Rock" series TELLS those stories.
Loggins & Messina, Christopher Cross, Peter Cetera, Steve Perry, Michael McDonald... oh yes, they're there in all of their rockin' hair glory. Start with Episode 1 and be sure to prepare yourself for the dark side of Hall & Oates... it's not pretty.
It says right there on Slim Mackerel's website... "Warning: Some songs may offend some chicks." That pretty much covers this post.
Slim Mackerel supposedly has had a 30 year career in music, although he dropped out for 20 of them. Now he sings songs like "Girl You Smell" and makes videos with celebrities. (Watching him torment poor Molly Shannon cracked me up though.)
Fortunately, Sweden has given us the ever-so pouty GÜNTHER. "The four main things in Günther's life are Champagne, Glamour, Sex and Respect!" I have long enjoyed his Ding Dong Song (NSFW -- there's nudity), but now it looks like he has a Christmas video on his site, not to mention ring tones and a screensaver. Tra la la!
Nobody loves you like your mama. But Kennedy promises to love her back for you. (LSFW)
