It's not like the beach boys brought forth hundreds of words to rhyme with nine.
Understood. But say your line out loud a few times.

Just doesn't have quite the same panache, does it?



Though you add something about parking outside the 7-11, etc. etc. That might help.

This song upset me when I was little and I heard it on a relative's radio.

Officially, the worst song ever is MacArthur Park. I never heard it until I was in college, and I am still not sure I have heard it in its entirety.

Remakes

"I Want Candy," a cute, forgettable 60s tune, was brought back to life by Bow Wow Wow, mercifully ignored for many years, and now is being sung by both Aaron Carter and Good Charlotte. Stop the madness!

Speaking of remakes, I am looking for a punk remake of Doris Day's "Que Sera Sera" that is probably at least 15 years old. Anyone know the band that did it?

Most Stupid Song Poll

Dave Barry did this poll years ago. "MacArthur Park" was up there, by Dave's pick was "I Am I Said" by Neil Diamond. It's hard to argue.

I am, I said
To no one there
An no one heard at all
Not even the chair
I am, I cried
I am, said I
And I am lost, and I can't even say why
Leavin' me lonely still

And in a development that will give PLF chills, I have it on very good authority that wealthy suburban seventh graders are now wearing parachute pants. I repeat: PARACHUTE PANTS. Looks like it's finally time to break that ol' Members Only jacket out of the closet. Oooooh, baby . . . I've missed you so much . . . .

A guy yesterday pled guilty and is facing hard time for putting the Hulk up on a board such as this one for anyone to download. No tear in my eye.

speaking of remakes

Anyone heard the remake of Boys of Summer on the radio these days (I think it is The Ataris)? Sounds exactly like the prior version (and that isn't a good thing). They changed "Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac" to "Black Flag sticker on a Cadillac". My question -- even if you loved that song in the first place, why would you do a remake that sounds exactly the same? Where's the fun in that.

this sets aside the question of why a radio station would bother playing it...

Does this mean we all have to go out and get Hammer/Arsenio wedge haircuts?

Coldest entertainer gangbanger since Alphonz Capone
Count money like Basie police try to chase me
Niggas try to replace me but you can't
I'm ridin' in a tank I'm blowin' hella dank
So whether ridin' in ya lo-lo or smokin' on some doe doe
spread the word and take the fo' door
The Last Don done hooked up with the muthafuckin'
King of the coast with the most here's a toast
and Snoop Dogg is the representer
through the niggas & G's through the LBC's

SOMEONE LEFT THE CAKE OUT IN THE RAAAAAIIIIIIIIN ...... uh, oops, just felt like singing. Sorry. Despite my love for that song, it wasn't a bad nomination, E/O. And it has been recorded multiple times, too.

That being said, there is nothing wrong with enjoying music that evokes pleasant memories. Sebbby, if Mrs. D likes reflecting upon her first kahlua and cream party as a teenager, let her listen to "Rio" when she wants. Why is that a bad thing?

And, although I am not a musical snob, I am a big fan of non-commercial music. But I am lucky enough to live in an area serviced by a radio station that plays bands that don't belong to major labels, and has venues that offer something other than arena tours. We don't all have the luxury of going to small intimate clubs to see the likes of Sleater-Kinney, Dar Williams, or Rufas Wainwright, much less the really hep stuff that the Pretty One listens to.

So, people of the FB I say unto you: Eat at Applebee's if you so desire! Drink a mojito! And, by all means (if you want to, that is), listen to "Love My Way" while reliving your days as a cheerleader who wouldn't go past second base!

1) The "Ba na na na" are horn sounds.
2) The "Chakachaka" part is some sort of percussion.

Ba na na na... Hey! Ba na na.
Ba na na na... Hey! Ba na na.
Ba na na na... Hey! Ba na na.

Chakachaka chakachaka chaka... (fans scream here: "Go team!" substituting
whichever team they are rooting for)

Repeat forever.
Well you know, the 1812 Overture, which some people consider a great song, and which has been recorded by countless artists, has ABSOLUTELY NO WORDS WHATSOEVER!

I wondered exactly the same thing. But then I remembered: radio sucks.

Edited to add: I am sure that they started playing it in warm-ups because their guitar player thought it was funny. Then, it sounded pretty good so they played it at shows. Then, their A&R guy heard and thought hey, I bet we could release it.

What I wonder is how much of a songwriting credit they claim for the Black Flag line.
