Popular Music with Attitude.

[WilhelmScream]

I guess it depends on delivery. I was wondering whether a music video might offer more tonal context, but it didn't really make it any more ..."playful". At the same time, lyrics with a similar gist are *all over* the place and most of the time they barely register. It's just something about this specific example that triggers me, but the day is nearing its end so I'm not going to take the time to try and put it into words

It's just something in my mind that makes lyrics stand out. I know drummers hear drums first, etc.

In the lyrics he even says something like 'you may think this is sexist', but female rappers give it back.

Guess I will put this here, could also go in comedy

20 Years ago the Badgers was a internet classic...

its 20 years ago... wow.

This is not the original.

Nor is this

maker just made a few variants recently to celebrate

this is closer

Yes it is repetitive as well, it was a flash video and only had so much space originally. Times have changed.

^Mad stuff but love the beat.
Underworld's Born Slippy, with another driving beat which Danny Boyle said set the whole pace of the film.

This band was from my home town, lead singer grew up ~10 miles from my home—which isn't far in the rural setting. Sadly, she drowned aged 46—RIP.

She wrote this anti-war song in response to 2 kids being killed by an IRA bomb in Warrington, England, in 1993—it was one of many such songs censored in EU and US during the Iraq war. It has since been adopted as one of the regulars by supporters of the Munster and Ireland rugby teams.

Here's a minute of it after the recent epic game in Paris v South Africa.

And the 5m official video:

Censored? That's the same song that I got on the No Need to Argue album. Do you mean the video part?

 

[Kaamos_Llama]

Its a great song, apparently it was censored in the UK by the Blair government. I never knew that. Not in EU, they didnt support the Iraq war.

We used to live opposite a pub in summer 2004 that had open doors onto a street terrace, Sunday was karaoke night and one bar person used to finish every time at 11.30pm by singing Zombie. It kind of ruined the song for me because she has a 6/10 voice but thought she was a 10. Guess I know why they were always singing it now.

Apparently they also banned Sex Bomb by Tom Jones. Understandable, that song makes me want to blow things up.

 

[Brian Boru]

Do you mean the video part?

No, the whole thing. Powers that be were worried it might go against the Iraq war effort.

Not in EU

It was banned by MTV Europe, but yeah, otherwise not. Even tho "It won the Best Song Award at the 1995 MTV Europe Music Awards".

(A good song to play if you've cheated into god mode.)

Having grown up listening to his father's witty, clever take on English life, here comes Baxter Dury; snarling, sleasy, conjuring up images with every line, contrasted with the lighter female chorus.

I don't know Harry Potter but the Mission Impossible is fun.

So while we're pulling this back to fun(was the 1960's more fun?), Ann-Margret can give me attitude any time she likes>

Us And Them was one of my fav tracks on DSOTM ~50 years ago, and I still prefer the original to this—but interesting treatment, thanks

 

[Colif]

Roger, being the writer of the songs, decided to release DSOTM Redux.

Some of it is pretty good.

Vampire Masquerade 2 needs to get this song in the game somewhere.

 

[Brian Boru]

this song

New to me, great voice! Bit like… Chrissie Hynde maybe?

I'm not sure, Concrete Blonde uses a lot of reverb. They seem to have similar ranges at least.
