The last time I really listened to it was back when it debuted and I had a huge crush on Sting (in my defense I was about 16 and his ego hadn't yet achieved escape velocity and expanded well past Saturn's orbit) and it seemed to me that Bob Geldof had a 3am drunken crescendo of guilt and scribbled out something that people could hum along to, since no one had any chance to you know... wake up, take a shower, slurp some coffee, let alone rehearse. I do remember watching the documentary and seeing Boy George waft in and effortlessly sing his line while everyone else was trying not to sound hungover. But then a few weeks later we had the American version, that glitzy thing with Michael Jackson? I can't even remember the name of it, the glare from the rhinestones scared me.

That was, "We Are The World," which was at least one step above in terms of the writing. Much more about all of us being connected together, all part of the same thing. Although it includes Dan Akroyd on back-up, which is kind of iffy. I mean, he's a Blues Brother, so there's that, I guess. Still, it partly involves Harry Belafonte who is simply one of the most generous and sincerely loving people our planet has ever produced, so it's hard for me to really dislike it. There was a heavy metal song of a similar bent that was absolutely hilariously bad, and a Canadian one that was quite good although, again, they trolled for Canadian comedians, this time scoring about half the cast of SCTV, including Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara. The song is part of the reason why they teamed up later in A Mighty Wind, so it wasn't all for naught, and many comedians are consummate performers, trained in dance and singing in addition to acting, so it's not that surprising. __________ AJGraeme "Why are there ghosts in the kitchen punching each other in the balls?" - Aidan, "Being Human" "Christianity has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and not tried." - G.K.

I came to this thread for the sole purpose of posting this song. But I could add almost nothing to your great post, except to say: I've been to Uganda, which is in Africa. The Christians there know it's Christmas. The Muslims probably know too, but they don't care. Also: And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmastime ... or in Mexico. Or in Spain. Or in Florida. Or in Bethlehem. Also: (Oooh) Where nothing ever grows More grows in Uganda than in Winnipeg. Even during a draught. Especially at Christmastime. ---------------- Never stare into a car's headlights and freeze, because you'll either be run over or shot. | |||

"Waiting on the World to Change" by John Mayer sets my TEETH ON EDGE I mean I don't love John Mayer in general, but this song OUTRAGES me.
WHAT THE FUCK JOHN MAYER Why couldn't you have written a song about why it's important for disaffected youth to go VOTE and become actually informed. Idiot. | |||

These lyrics didn't really piss me off, but did make me think 'whuh'? and reinforced my dislike of country music. Please note, I didn't willingly listen to this song, it was forced on me at the chiropractor's office waiting room - and I don't know what the song title is or who performed it, but I hope to never hear it again - some of the lyrics were: 'I'm a third generation farmer who married the farmer's daughter' and all I could think of was...

there's this band that is always on the radio here and pretty much every one of their songs pisses me off...but yeah, here's some sample lyrics from one of their more "popular" songs...hopefully you'll see what I mean about them "Break me down, you got a lovely face We're going to your place, and now you got to freak me out Scream so loud, getting f*ckin' laid You want me to stay but I got to make my way "When I dream I'm doing you all night` "You jump in bed with fame Another one night paid in full "Get the video, f*ck you so good "To be a star you'll have to go down Take it off no need to talk" oddly that gets played uncensored all the time but Money For Nothing has been banned -not back with a vengeance, more like a dull thud followed by a scared wave- | |||

Not necessarily. Could be his own daughter, or mom, or aunt ![]() On a similar note... They used to play this on the radio I listen to when I get up like every day, and it alwasy made me angry right before breakfast:
What the hell? Are you making love to a dog or are you comparing your girlfriend to a dog because she won't do what you say? THERE'S NO RIGHT ANSWER! Plus, the writing's atrocious. 'Once upon a time I drank a little wine'? REALLY? ![]() | |||

I have never been a Lady Gaga fan. I don't like her music or lyrics or anything. But I am really sick of hearing about her new Born this Way song. I mean, I get that a lot of people find it empowering or whatever, and that's cool. The lyrics however just drive me up a wall. I mean, all the references to how her god made everyone 'perfect' and how her god 'makes no mistakes' are annoyingly insulting to me. It's like, ah, so your god MEANT to give me this lifelong debilitating disease, how nice. Oh, and I shouldn't change myself because I was born PERFECT... you know except the whole body not matching my actual gender thing. And she specifically mentions trans people in her awful new song. I mean, I like who I am, but I was not born 'perfect'. Nor was I even born 'me', I became me over years and years, and frankly I will always be changing and so therefore never really 'perfect'. Ugh, just shut up, Lady Gaga, shut up about how we shouldn't change ourselves "'cause god don't make mistakes' because if a god DID make me, let me tell you, s/he made some pretty damn big mistakes. -----~~----- Cthulhu for president~Why vote for the lesser evil? | |||

I think that's the song that makes my brain automatically start in on a Madonna song and then have it stuck as an earworm. Minister of Kraftwerk in the Realm of U & P, Order of the Pineapple with frond for advancement in Nap studies. The brain: not always amenable to logic. ~Hive | |||

THIS SONG SUCKS SO HARD I remember one moment, I tried to forget I lost myself, is it better not said Now I'm closer to the edge It was a thousand to one And a million to two Time to go down in flames and I'm taking you Closer to the edge No, I'm not saying I'm sorry One day maybe we'll meet again No, I'm not saying I'm sorry One day maybe we'll meet again NO NO NO NO Can can can you imagine a time when the truth ran free The birth of a song and the death of a dream Closer to the edge This never ending story Paid for with pride and fate We all fall short of glory LOST IN OUR FATE No, I'm not saying I'm sorry One day maybe we'll meet again No, I'm not saying I'm sorry One day maybe we'll meet again NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO I will never forget NO NO I will never regret NO NO I WILL LIVE MY LIFE NO NO NO NO I will never forget NO NO I will never regret NO NO I WILL LIVE MY LIFE No, I'm not saying I'm sorry One day maybe we'll meet again NO NO No, I'm not saying I'm sorry One day maybe we'll meet again NO NO NO NO Closer to the edge Closer to the edge NO NO NO NO Closer to the edge Closer to the edge NO NO NO NO Closer to the edge | |||

Screw lyrics... any BAND that mentions themselves in the lyrics of a song blatantly is immediately on my shit list, and that song is crap. Examples: Bad Company Wang Chung Kid Rock Lady Gaga Big Country etc. ____________________ -=- Saint NightWalker -=- Donut: "Oh man, that is a BURN. Dude, you just got BURNED. BURN, dude. BURN."
