Bad Music Sunday

Friends,

As promised, here is a Bad Music Sunday, prepped Wednesday night for a timed release on Sunday. Right now, I'm probably in Madison, looking at a pile of cardboard boxes, swearing lightly, wondering where the fuck I put the spatula and who broke the dish strainer.

Oh, and this isn't exactly related to Bad Music Sunday, but a while ago, and I really wish I could remember who I was having this conversation with, but we were talking about The Wallflowers and their 3 hit songs. The person (Phil? Jenny? Diana? Santa?) said they remembered One Headlight and Three Marlenas, and I said but wait, there is one that predates those singles off the same record, but I couldn't remember it. I got it now Sixth Avenue Heartache. Click that song title to see the YouTube video. Wallflowers, much like Haircut 100, Harvey Danger and a slew of other artists, won't let you embed the videos.

Okay, now, Bad Music Sunday, right in your face...


The Eagles - New York Minute
Yes, we all know where The Dude stands on the Eagles. Note that in this video, Don Henley is wearing a henley shirt. Is that clever or an act of douchecraft?


Genesis - Invisible Touch
Here's one for you, Diana.


Superdrag - Sucked Out
Jorge once said that he objected to some of these Bad Music Sundays because he dug some of the songs because of the emotions brought along with them. I have the other reaction to this one. See, the habitual liar, bisexual, Chicago-suburb girl I dated prior to Emily fucking loved Superdrag. Couldn't get enough Superdrag. Was her favorite band. Loved them like goldfish love flaky food. Personally, I thought they sucked but hard. So while now I can see how an 90's rock afficiando could appreciate parts of this song, I still hate it because of the association to the untrustworthy lass mentioned a few sentences back. And, you know, that strained screamy vocal on "feeling!" that tiny man eeks out like a rusty nut turning still hurts my ears.


Sugar Ray - RPM
This is what they sounded like before they figured out there was all that money to be had in nice pop songs. And this is on the same record as that one hit song Fly. I gotta say...their disposable pop stuff is awesome compared to this. Good choice, Sugar Ray. Well done.


Third Eye Blind - Jumper
Worst band I have ever seen live, hands down. This includes scrubby nobody local acts that have opened up for Hatebreed. These guys were completely incompetent when they opened for U2.


The Flys - Got You (Where I Want You)


Aqua - Barbie Girl
Fuck this fucking song.


20 Fingers featuring Gillette - Short Dick Man
The video doesn't synch up with the song. I hope that doesn't make you unfairly judge this song. Also, it was either this song, or that one that goes "you got to lick it, before you stick it" but it looks like there's no uncensored version available on YouTube, rather I didn't want to sit through many different versions of that video. I tried two, both of them were edited, so you get this one about a girl's quest for, I suppose, a long dick man. But isn't girth more important than length in this area because too deep and your just going to crinkle the dick against the cervix like the hood of a crashed car. It's thickness gets you more coverage on the vaginal walls, and a more pleasurable experience. So really, what Ms. Gillette wants is a thick dick man, but then again, who am I to speak for her dick preference, maybe she likes the feel of a dick coiled up like so much unused hose. And, hey, maybe hose-dick guy can do a whirlpool motion to clang around in her vagina like a bell ringing to get some sidewall stimulation going. And no matter the dick's length or breadth, he'd surely have to work the pearl some, too, otherwise, what's the point, right? Well, whatever she likes, I hope she got it. Good luck to you, sister.


Skid Row - Monkey Business
Yeah, I don't like this. I was a Skid Row fan back then, but 80s metal has not grown well with me. There's two things funny to me about Skid Row. First, Sebastian Bach gets his money cashing checks from his stint with The Gilmore Girls (and he can't act worth shit, but a great many people in that show couldn't, and I'll say it, if the character of Lorelei Gilmore wasn't rich and smoking hot, you'd strangle the shit out of her if you met her in real life). And funny thing two, this band is most remembered for "18 and Life" and "I'll Remember You", two ballady songs even though they got such a cock hardcore name like Skid Row. And I was thinking about putting I'll Remember You here (especially since I found a version of it covered by Carrie Underwood) then I changed my mind, but it got me thinking. If a person went to an open mic at a coffee house or bar, and only played acoustic 80's metal power ballads and other shitty songs, and the person did it competently and completely serious, what would the audience's reaction be? Would they laugh in appreciation? Howl with displeasure? Clap in true appreciation of the tunes? What do you think?
