Typical examples are "Light my fire" by The Doors and "Whole lotta love" by Led Zeppelin. "Behind blue eyes" by The Who has a bit near the end that takes a bit of getting used to. Disagree , unless LMF is the album version On 06/04/2021 at 15:37, Funky Nosejob said: Very much on the PTTGOYN angle, as these songs are rarely decent, is the laziness in rhyming song lyrics. Whether it’s Daniel Beddingfield’s “If you’re not the one” with its today/way, call/all, bed/head, life/wife, which I can only assume is an homage to Queenie’s poem in Blackadder II... Or the even more unforgivable “Shut up and Dance” by Walk the Moon, where the chorus manages to rhyme “back” with “back” and “me” with “me”. I thought the song was going to be " The Green Manalishi with the two horned crown " Super Da Edited June 6, 2021 by ewan14 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean the album version. The radio edit version is brilliant and makes total sense. By contrast, the album version has a middle bit that is totally unrelated, bears no resemblance to the start and for me is totally forgettable. You could say the same Bohemian Rhapsody but it succeeds because each part is memorable in itself. The middle bit of LMF (album version) or WLL could be replaced with something completely different and no one would know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimi Shandrix Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 I know it was for charity and the circumstances surrounding it meant that it had to be written in 5 minutes, but the line "and there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time" really annoys me. As if there was a huge snowfall last Christmas in Addis Ababa. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it's when Joe Strummer sings "If I go there will be trouble, if I stay there will be double" it's obvious Joe - you should go! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Green Manalishi etc was his anti materialism statement with the G.M. being money He wanted to give his money to suffering people e.g. Biafra and in attempting to do this let his uncooperative ( allegedly ) manager and / or accountant know he had a firearm which did not go down well with H.M. constabulary Edited June 7, 2021 by ewan14 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Man of the World Green sings "But I just wish I had never been born" - I saw an interview with Mick Fleetwood where he said that maybe (sic) they should've looked at some of the lyrics and tried to help him at the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coprolite Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Some of the the funny noises Michael Jackson makes are a bit off putting. The "Atchakoo" in The Way You Make Me Feel in particular. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Three times in my life I've heard some sort of Bon Iver collab or sample (Fall Creek Boys Choir with James Blake, Lost in the World with Kanye and just recently I've learned that DJ Koze's Bonfire uses a Bon Iver sample) and thought "oh I might like this guy" and every time I've listened it turns out it isn't for me. So that's my musical petty thing that gets on my nerves. I keep thinking I'll like the guy and don't. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pozbaird Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Purple Rain by Prince benefits greatly by the music file being taken into ‘Audacity’ and having the wanky un-necessary last minute of fade-out shite chopped off. Audacity is great for that sort of thing. CD albums with hidden tracks at the end after minutes of silence… Audacity sorts that pish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
