-------------------- "the ladies have been checking me out lately.... could it be the 10 push-ups i've been cranking out every other Sunday? - Perhaps!" -Scrubs
Some people are a lot like slinkys... kinda useless, not really good for anything -but still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs  QUOTE (Hewletts Daughter @ Jan 8 2008, 04:11 PM)  "After much thought into this, I have finally come to a conclusion as to why the ‘Meet the Spartans’ commercial is so funny: It is an interesting choice to have Sanjaya sing ‘I’m not gay,’ as his final words on earth. As he is plummeting into a seemingly bottomless pit, he does not say ‘dear god no,’ ‘I love you mom,’ or even simply ‘argh.’ He instead takes the moment to reaffirm to the world, in spite of their doubts, that he is not a homosexual. Not only that, but he continues to sing, despite falling to his certain death. The distinct lack of plausibility of this situation is what produces giggles from our mouth. It is the antithesis to the belief that ‘it’s funny because it is true.’" |

You can never get enough
Enough of this stuff #248.  The Cure - "Friday I'm in Love" Year: 1992 US Chart Position: #18 / #1 Modern Rock UK Chart Position: #6 Acclaimed Music Ranking: #29 (year), #304 (decade), #1804 (all-time) AMG Says: "When the Cure's "Friday I'm in Love" started to appear on radio in 1992, it was refreshing to hear such a perfect pop song amid all the impending doom and gloom of the so-called grunge years and to also note that the masterful band — under Robert Smith's guidance — had lost nothing off its fastball. Here again was a delectable melody, a clever lyric, and a singular blend of sounds, with whimsical production quirks, from a 12 year-old band that seemed to be able to write and record such chestnuts at will. Granted, the meat of "Friday I'm in Love" (if there is much at all to this confection) is nothing new; at its heart it is a very traditionally structured pop song. But the Cure wrap up the mix of pop melody and lyric, guitar lines, synth washes, and vocal layers in such a singular style that it only takes the opening measure to identify it as a Cure song [...] The single was a radio hit from Wish and brought in a whole new legion of fans for the Cure, but in an invective swipe at the music industry suits, who he implied pull such radio-ready singles as "Friday I'm in Love" from him, Smith commented in an interview with Musikexpress/Sounds in 2000: "The people who like "Friday I'm in Love" aren't actually fans of the Cure. They're not the ones who buy my records."" Can Be Most Easily Found On: Wish Ranked Highest By: Slackmo (#9) -------------------- what does he file at the hall of records?

Read all of my stupid song parodies here. Latest song improved/ruined: "Who Made Who" by AC/DC. Read my cheap, bland, horribly not up to date blog Look for me as eyeshaveit at www.mocospace.com Also poisoning minds at www.rateyourmusic.com. Might as well throw my Last.fm page here, too. |

I think the quote would be more accurate if he had simply said "the people who only like "Friday I'm in Love" aren't actually fans of the Cure," because that sure sounds like what he meant. I mean, by the time Wish rolled around, I'd already bought five or six of their records. -------------------- Someone Still Loves You Pants McJickson
