Five for Friday, Clunker edition

May 16, 2008 08:42

This week's topic was suggested by loveinabasement. Now that I think about, she was centrally responsible for the inverse topic when we used it months ago. Is she angling for some sort of Five for Friday co-executive producer gig or something? Hmmm.

As always, please play along...

( What a lemon! One minute it's running like a top, and the next it's broken down on the side of the road. And I can't fix a car like this, because I don't have the tools! And even if I did have the tools I don't know if I could fix a car like this! )

smashing pumpkins' sweet sweet is the worst song on earth. no question or competition.

Worse than "We Built This City" by Starship? or "bugs" by Pearl Jam?

She must really mean it. This is the earliest she's ever responded to a Five for Friday topic. Usually it takes her six months to a year.

and i am over two years behind now. 25 months in fact.

1. Michelle - Beatles. yuck.
2. Shiny Happy People - R.E.M. BAD. They have many songs that could be on this list.
3. Illegal Alien - Genesis. ya, I like Genesis...what you lookin' at?.
4. Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm - Crash Test Dummies. I like quite a bit of their music, but not this one.
5. Kokomo - Beach Boys. Was there a shark in that video? should have been.

Within the past couple of week's I tried explaining to someone (I think firthofforth) how awful that "Illegal Alien" song is. The problem is that it gets stuck in my head so easily.

point_cowtown May 16 2008, 14:26:17 UTC

I mix it up in my head with Sting's "Englishman in New York" weird stuff happenin' up there...

point_cowtown May 16 2008, 14:29:38 UTC

oh NOOOOOOoooo! I just listened to a snippet of that...

You said Boner mmmm_beer May 16 2008, 14:02:11 UTC

The first time I met Jenni B I just finished playing that song, back sold and made the comment that Gary Wescott was on next with what would be his farewell show so, I concluded, that I bet Gary's in a similar situation. Jenni screamed into the studio the very second I closed the mic and gave me my first FCC decency tutorial. At least I didn't say 'none of this fuckin shit works around here'

Hee hee hee.

I think it was probably Gary Logan-Atwill's final show. Gary Wescott was our hated rival at WSPT at that time.

ya, well I DID. fuckstick.

1. Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey - Paul McCartney Ugh, does this song ever end!

2. Hats off to Roy Harper - Zep, Back in my Zep freak days this one would always get skipped.

3. Time of your Life - Green Day Yeah, I know its a sappy graduation song and all of that but it never did anything for me.

4. Start Me Up - Stones, First time I heard it was real cool then after the 20,000 time, well, you know.

5. Maggie May - Rod Stewart I don't know what it is about this song but I dread it. My fingers can't hit the "Seek" button fast enough when this one comes on. And generally I like most of the early stuff that Rod did.

Time of your Life - Green Day

I do find it funny that anyone who drags this song out for a supposedly sweet, celebratory send off apparently doesn't realize that the full, official title is "Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)." The "Good Riddance" part is more prominent. Doofuses.

maggie226 May 16 2008, 16:43:31 UTC

Seriously! That always makes me laugh.

maggie226 May 16 2008, 16:42:02 UTC

Heh, the Maggie May song? UGH! It was big when I was in kindergarten, so people called me "maggie may" all the time. And that wasn't very flattering, actually, since he said "Maggie, I wish I'd never seen your face."

I can tell you it's about an older woman that he slept with when he was young. And he never once says "maggie MAY" just Maggie. Which I think is odd.

1. The Cure, "The Hanging Garden"; I dunno....just never really fancied this one.

2. Screeching Weasel, their cover of "I Can See Clearly Now"; while this is admittedly a great cover, for some reason, I just never took to it. I would skip it every time I got to it on the CD.

3. Joey Ramone, "Maria Bartiromo"; okay, while the concept of the song is funny, it was just too hard to hear him sing "what's happening with Yahoo" cause I just can't picture him on stage singing THAT into a mic. It's just wrong.

4. The Queers, "No Tit"; from a less-than-well-endowed girl, I just don't like this song. And I dislike that word anyway....

Okay, so now I am stumped so I am going back in time here: song I like from band I generally don't like

5. Sugar Ray, "Rivers"; from the Scream soundtrack and written in homage to Rivers Cuomo, it really sounds Weezer-esque and I like it a lot
