"We Are 138" by The Misfits.

Seriously, WTF?

I remember when Paste tried to be cool.

"Crackity Jones" is just a bizarre song all around.

I'll go with most Primus and Les Claypool songs. I hear what you're saying Les, but you make no damn sense sometimes; for that I love you.

/In a completely platonic, audiophile way.

Wow, creative headline there copy-pastemitter!

/I can only assume that the link is sponsored

In-a-gadda-da-vida is about drugs. What's so confusing about that?

Sheesh. Young people these days.

What a waste of time. I was hoping to hear some songs BY John Madden.

Peaches en Regalia

as sublime a composition as FZ can do imho and he was a master

without all the bitter ranting and silly sophmoric lyrics some of his songs have that just make them painful upon repeated listening

would like to see it live but Gail is gonna sue yer ass if you try to play it - something frank never did. /end rant

Worst farking article ever.

In The Garden Of Eden, but I. Ron Butterfly


/remember when we used to make out to this hymn?

They totally forgot "Evenflow"

/Don't like Pearl Jam

D'Yer Mak'er - Led Zeppelin
Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da - Beatles

ok, the first two just have gibberish names from Huge acts. The lyrics actually make some sense. The next two have bizarre lyrics or thinly-veiled sexual references:

Presidents of the United States of America - Peaches
Pearl Jam - Do the Evolution
Primus - Wynona's Big Brown Beaver

I've said that about #3 since it came out. #1 can be almost every REM song, since you either can't understand him or the lyrics make no sense

as in frank never sued anyone for playing his songs

Pearl Jam - Yellow Ledbetter

Seriously I love this song but what the hell is he sayin'?!?

Even more perplexing? How anyone thought it was a good idea to let the live-album version of the song run on for 17 minutes


Celebration of the Lizard King, Sister Ray, Do You Feel Like I Do?, Dogs, it wasn't really uncommon back in the day. Besides which, when I worked overnights at a classic rock station some of those songs were real life savers.

DJ buddy of mine calls them "shiatter songs."

Is that musical direction or an invitation to a firing squad?

I tend to dispute that based off of the song "Carolyn's Booty" on that album, where he talks about how the naked Carolyn gives him an erection...

I always thought "Sitting Still" was funny because some of the only lyrics I can make out are at the very end: "can you hear me?" I yell "no, dude, I cannot farking hear you, why don't you try not mubling into the microphone for a change?"

3. Bon Jovi - "Wanted Dead or Alive"
This song-and Bon Jovi's cowpoke obsession in general-has always confused me. Other than the fact that he went on to record the Young Guns II soundtrack, why in God's name does a pretty-boy mainstream pop rocker from New Jersey relate so damn much to dirt-faced, gun-totin', tobacco-chewin' outlaws?

Ooh! Ooh! I know! I know! Because he's trying to look badass like so many other guys who feel inadequate in some way, even if it's phony?

/Would love to hang around this thread, but need to hope on my Harley to pick up my really hot girlfriends and get another TapouT tattoo.

Also, of all the Phish songs that could have been picked out, why the Mango Song? Why not Cavern, or Reba, heck even David Bowie?

Heh...I'm posting this from the production studio while our on-air stuff is all voicetracked and computerized.

You old radio guys bum me out...I wish I got to actually pull music, even just off a cd, instead of watch a computer playlist fire off the next song, and then the next, and then the next...

/it's no fun now :-/

Clutch - 1^]01. Love the song, know all the words...no clue what it means.

Robot lords of Tokyo, smile, taste kittens

/wha?

Jimmy Webb's "MacArthur Park" trumps all of these. If anyone can tell me what that song is about, please enlighten me.

To the writer of the article

The knock on Madden (for those that needed to knock him for whatever reason) was that he stated the obvious, i.e "If you can get 4 or 5 yards a play and not turn the ball over you have a good chance at controlling the pace of the game." which means if you were confused by him you either shouldn't have been watching a sport you don't understand or you're just an idiot.

My question is: how do you give a quick bio on Madden and not mention the video games?

(or his coaching/playing career)

jokes about his use of the telestrator were just as prevalent.

Jim R: Meh. Not worthy of the "amusing" tag.

Yep.

Plus, no Dylan?

Super Chronic: Also, of all the Phish songs that could have been picked out, why the Mango Song? Why not Cavern, or Reba, heck even David Bowie?

I told my friend once that to knock on Phish's lyrics is to fundamentally misunderstand the band. Love em or lump em, Phish isn't trying to say anything with their lyrics, they're making fun noises with their mouths that are just supposed to go well with the music they're making. For the most part it does, even if it's just silly gibberish.

When my girlfriend decides to watch football with me (which is rare) she picks the games where Madden is announcing. She isn't clueless about the sport, but the comments he makes remind her of some of the basics she is unclear on.

For example, the comment you put up there is helpful to her. She knows that you need 10 yards to get a first down, and that you have 3 plays to do it, but that kind of comment will remind her that a team can run off the clock and wear down the defense.

So, instead of being asked "Why don't they just throw it really far downfield instead of running" during a game, she listens to Madden and drinks her beer.

*clarifying my comment above, you have 3 plays to do it because generally teams punt or kick a FG on 4th down.

No....Dylan's songs usually made sense, it was just you couldn't understand HIM singing.

I started in '79. Well, '77 in college, but that doesn't count. Yep, back in the day...cueing up vinyl, picking your own music...and we could smoke in nthe studio.

Yeah, it used to be fun. Been out since last fall. Miss the old days. Don't miss what the business has become.

John Buck 41: ..and we could smoke in nthe studio.

And how.

"OK, next up is a track from, ah, Supertramp. No, wait, it's the new Joni Mitchell."

(dead air for three seconds)

"Oh, woah, OK, here's that Supertramp song I was promising . . . "

(opening bars of Miles Davis)

"Jeeze, that's for Denise's jazz show."

(off mike) "Where's that Supertramp album?"

Most of Becks lyrics

/getting crazy with the cheez whiz

How about anything by Skinny Puppy, especially around the Too Dark Park/Last Rights era? Their drug-addled lyrics are the chattering mind-dump of a complete lunatic. Creepy and bizzare as hell.

man you guys are letting me down...


Welcome to der Weinerschnitzel, may I take your order please?

Yeah I want TWO LARGE COKES! TWO LARGE FRIES! CHILI CHEESE DOG! LARGE DR PEPPER! SUPER DELUZE WITH CHEESE AND TOMATO!

Would you like whale sperm with that?

NO!

You're gonna be a genius any way!

Love that song, actually

All songs are about either sex or drugs. Sometimes they are about both. This is one constant in the universe that never changes.
