So I was looking up the lyrics to "On the Bus Mall," and I saw this little notice at the bottom of the page, accompanied by a couple of link lists:

You have opened my eyes to something not entirely undisturbing and I'm not quite sure I can forgive you.

Not for making the comparison, but for suddenly kindling a strange desire to see Mr. Meloy in mascara and eyeliner.

Then again, I dunno. Would this be close enough?

I encountered that yesterday on ifilm watching a Nine Inch Nails video. It told me I may also enjoy Justin Timberlake, Pink, and Paris Hilton.

Yeah. I think what they mean to say is, "Other artists we have in our database that gave us more promo money are ... "

Oh man, I LOVE "On the Bus Mall." Easily one of their best songs.

But I don't love it as much as I love Hilary Duff, Slipknot, and Usher. So. Sorry, Meloy. Good try. But you'll never record a song with the lyrical depth of Good Charlotte's "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous."

ZOMG GOOD CHARLOTTE!!!111 they r lyk teh BESTEST BAND EVAR!1

whne i feel lyk cuting myself in teh batthub.

( Oh man, I LOVE "On the Bus Mall." Easily one of their best songs.

For serious. Then again, I could say that for a lot of the stuff they've done. I caught myself singing "Shankill Butchers" while I was sweeping the floor at work today and I only stopped when I noticed a couple of people giving me Looks. So I reduced it to a gentle hum until I got to the back with the dishes. The dishes won't criticise me. Hmph. )

In response to someone's comment above: Someone once told me I look exactly like Billie Joe Armstrong, except without the black hair and pounds of mascara. Not sure how much I agree with that. *laugh*

Anyway, re Good Charlotte: My memories of Mexico City are tainted by that damn song. I went in spring of 2003 when that song was popular (about the same time t.A.T.u. was popular -- yeah, we all remember t.A.T.u.) and its video seemed to be rerun back to back to back on the international MTV channel. it was horrid. (But then, when you go to Mexico, you really should absorb the most local television as possible. I remember very distinctly a game show where two teams were flinging a midget back and forth across the stage by his hands and feet. All the while being cheered on by very busty stagehands, of course ( ... )

1) All we need to do now is dye your hair black and cake mascara on your eyes. Simple as that.

2) Forget Good Charlotte. I want more midget stories.

3) It's the simplest song, probably, but it's so damn catchy to me, in that the lyrics are easily embedded into my brain. It's a great bedtime lullaby, though - one that I would recommend parents everywhere to sing to their children. :D

4) I have! Maybe he has a fascination for ratty kids or pointy seacreatures?
