F-Bombs are cool.

Lyrics:

Tread slowly from the car to the spa
Like a weary war-torn refugee
Crossing the border with your starving child
It's a struggle just to get to shiatsu

Present the waitress with your allergy card
And tell her all your problems
And leave no tip at all
Down to the shoe store with your friends
Speculate who might be fucking the guru

Rock on, rock on, with your fashionable frown
Rock on, rock on, spread the love around
Rock on, rock on, with your fashionable frown
Spread the love around

Do you remember how we managed before
We could afford real nervous breakdowns
Or before the Anthropologie store
Was erected on Indian burial grounds

So really don't you see a little of yourself
In the bathroom attendant that you just scowled at
Or the child who's hiding inside
As you wipe the smile off the teenage barista

[Chorus]

All right

You're gonna be all right, baby
You're gonna be all right, baby

Floating back from the spa to the car
A state of bliss, and it wasn't the steam room
Sometimes life's not so bad
Now we know who's been fucking the guru

Ah. The Mini Moog. Either sublime or completely annoying. No in-between. I think Ben pulls it off in this one.

For me personally, that "Yes We Can" track from the election is the frown song.

Inside the prayers—held on a former soccer field covered with a roof—some worshippers rubbed their eyes as tear gas from outside drifted in. They traded competing chants with some hard-liners in the congregation. When the hard-liners chanted "death to America," Mousavi supporters countered with "death to Russia" and "death to China."

Do you remember how we managed before
We could afford real nervous breakdowns
Or before the Anthropologie store
Was erected on Indian burial grounds

Anthropologie:

Founder Richard Hayne moved Anthropologie away from the focus of Urban Outfitters, which targeted hip and mod trends. Rather, this new concept was designed to appeal to 30- to 40-something affluent professional women with total family annual income above $200,000.
...
David Brooks has cited Anthropologie as the "apotheosis" of the bourgeois bohemian look in his book Bobos in Paradise.

It's torture to even think of them, but these are the songs that have always made me frown:

September Song
Seasons in the Sun
Send in the Clowns
You Are My Sunshine
We Built This City on Rock 'n' Roll

...excuse me while I go quietly commit suicide.

re: #7 zombie
for me--any neil diamond song. have to disagree on your are my sunshine--my daddy used to sing it to me--god i'd love to hear that again from him!

Ugh. Drudge has had a Buchanan article at the top of the page all day.

re: #8 mikeymom

But "You Are My Sunshine" may sound cheery, but it has a msierable message: "Please don't take my sunshine away." He spends the whole song praising his "sunshine," but we then learn he's about to lose it/her foever! Total misery.

As for Neil Diamond -- I strongly disagree! He's a mixed bag -- some good, some bad. But he's written at least two great songs: "The Boat That I Row" and "Red Red Wine."

Lulu - The Boat That I Row

1968 the BBC

A Neil Diamond song -- not frowny at all!

I love Lulu.

re: #7 zombie

Anything by Billy Joel!

UB 40 -- Red Red Wine

Another Neil Diamond song. Also the opposite of frowny!

re: #13 Mad Al-Jaffee

Anything by Billy Joel!

I'm no Billy Joel fan, but he's only about 90-10 -- 90% unbearable, 10% not bad. So not everything he did was "frowny"

Here's one of the very few Bill Joel songs I actually like:

Billy Joel -- Movin' Out

re: #2 jaunte

Wow, taking nihilism to a whole new level.

re: #1 Tarkus289

Especially when you're thirteen.
After that, they begin to lose a little shock value.

Waaay OT, my own repost from the previous thread but worth it. (I think)

I have Epilepsy and am on disability. I just sent Nancy Pelosi a carefully worded e-mail about "Universal Health Care." If what Democrats are calling a "Universal Health Care" plan for all Americans is anything like the care I get on disability, Americans are in for a big shock in what Democrats are calling "Universal Health Care." My wait in a Neuro's office just to get in to see the Dr to get a refill, not a regular check-up on my Epilepsy condition, just to get a refill is usually anywhere between 2½ hours to 3½ hours just to get into to have a Dr scribble something on a piece of paper. My Epilepsy condition requires that I see a Dr to get the refill. I usually bring something to eat. Be afraid of Barry-Care America, be very afraid.

Does that even work with a zombie or is it a pointless gesture like a UN resolution?

re: #9 Killgore Trout

Did you see the segment of Buchanan's July 10th piece, which I posted yesterday?

re: #19 CyanSnowHawk

We zombies commit suicide by coming back to life.

re: #21 zombie

We zombies commit suicide by coming back to life.

Do all the other zombies wander around all depressed and say things like, "How could he have done that to himself, he had so much to stay dead for."

re: #22 CyanSnowHawk

What's this about giant squid threatening San Diego?

re: #9 Killgore Trout

Ugh. Drudge has had a Buchanan article at the top of the page all day.

Did you read it?

re: #21 zombie
I just got Pride and Predjudice and Zombies at the library! Pride and Predjudice with ultra violent zombie mayhem. Sounds really good!

I'm a Believer, another not-frowny Neil Diamond song--as long as he's not singing it!

re: #20 freetoken

Was that the one on the global rise of ethnic nationalism? He's always cheering that sort of thing.

re: #4 zombie

For me personally, that "Yes We Can" track from the election is the frown song.

looked for it and found THIS!
When will it be on "Beck"?

/Who is like unto the "0"(pronounced zero)?

CBS News legend Walter Cronkite has passed away

Here comes the rain on your parade.
frowny song with suicide and tears.

Walter (the war is lost) Cronkite.

me#29..Sorry Charles.

re: #24 unrealizedviewpoint

Yes, it's anti-American bullshit. He (and many others) have fantasies about this "evil" country and its destruction. Fuck, 'em.

re: #28 IslandLibertarian

/Who is like unto the "0"(pronounced zero)?

That is truly interesting!

It really does sound like "We Want Satan" when played backwards.

Then again, Paul McCartney is still alive, so that shows how much backwards songs know.

Can't say I care.

Agreed!

re: #23 pre-Boomer Marine brat

What's this about giant squid threatening San Diego?

They have been washing up on shore since shortly after a recent earthquake. If the two events are unrelated it's a weird coincidence.

*whack*

Walter Cronkite dies at age 92.

I hope everyone realizes that I'm not going to tolerate mean-spirited remarks about Walter Cronkite on the day of his death.

If you can't help yourself and just have to vent your anger at Cronkite, go do it somewhere else.

Once again, my bad. I have until now, never been deleted. And it won't happen again.

re: #41 jorline

Walter Cronkite dies at age 92.

And that's the way it is, July 20, 2009

re: #30 jcm

CBS News legend Walter Cronkite has passed away

Feb. 27th 1968.

Tet was a huge victory for US Forces. The VC and NVA were devastated after Tet. If LBJ had followed up it could have been ended much sooner the enemy was so weakened by the defeat of Tet.

re: #44 Kosh's Shadow

And that's the way it is, July 20, 2009

...and you were there.

re: #35 zombie

"yes, but here's another clue for you all,
"The Walrus" was Paul..."

/tryin' to fix a hole in the ocean...

Remember that during the Iran Hostage Crises, Cronkite closed each one of his broadcasts with length of captivity to remind everyone.

RIP Mr Cronkite.

I don't hate the left. I feel bad for them. They are so f*cking misguided.

re: #27 Killgore Trout

Yeah, but he came right out and decried multiracial societies.

re: #46 wrenchwench

...and you were there.

He was the anchorman I watched when I was growing up, but I learned better.

Granted-- Cronkite was a true pioneer. Also, had the stones to ride along on bombing missions with the 8th USAAF in WWII. But, his biggest gaffe is what I will always remember. AS I said on the previous thread, I hope he meets some former servicemen--and a few boat people that didn't make it out-- in Heaven and gets to explain exactly why he thought the "war was lost" during Tet in 68.

re: #34 Killgore Trout

Yes, it's anti-American bullshit. He (and many others) have fantasies about this "evil" country and its destruction. Fuck, 'em.

That's what you got from that. Wow!
I can't stand the racist bastard Buchanan because he is such a racist bastard, but that piece was spot on.

Walter got the one big thing wrong...whatever...that's not the totality of who he was

re: #34 Killgore Trout

Yes, it's anti-American bullshit. He (and many others) have fantasies about this "evil" country and its destruction. Fuck, 'em.

he has a right to be heard...don't get your undies in a bunch

re: #51 freetoken

If that's all one takes from that piece, one is blind.

re: #56 albusteve

You can cheer racist bullshit like this if you want to...

Wise Latina women have more babies north of the border than they do in Mexico and twice as many here as American women.

As almost all immigrants are now Third World people of color, they qualify for ethnic preferences in hiring and promotions and admissions to college over the children of Americans.

All of this would have astounded and appalled the Founding Fathers, who after all, created America – as they declared loud and clear in the Constitution – "for ourselves and our posterity."

It makes me cringe. Although I supprt his right to free speech, I generally don't take people who promote his racism seriously.

re: #43 Cannadian Club Akbar

Once again, my bad. I have until now, never been deleted. And it won't happen again.

You've been deleted before.

re: #57 unrealizedviewpoint

If that's all one takes from that piece, one is blind.

And if you don't believe his paragraph:

Without the assent of her people, America is being converted from a Christian country, nine in 10 of whose people traced their roots to Europe as late as the time of JFK, into a multiracial, multiethnic, multilingual, multicultural Tower of Babel not seen since the late Roman Empire.

... is the reason for his entire article, then you are naive.

I'm in no mood to deal with Buchanan apologists. You guys will have to squabble among yourselves.

re: #56 albusteve

he has a right to be heard...don't get your undies in a bunch

He has a right to speak or write, he does not have a right to be heard or read. He is a racist. He has no credibility to me.

re: #60 freetoken

... is the reason for his entire article, then you are naive.

You are referencing a paragraph that does not exist in the article? Wow!

re: #63 unrealizedviewpoint

You are referencing a paragraph that does not exist in the article? Wow!

If you had bothered to actually read and comprehend my original question to KT, rather than just react, you would have seen:

Did you see the segment of Buchanan's July 10th piece, which I posted yesterday?

re: #64 freetoken

Yeah, like I read your drivel? You're kidding right?

That was great.

Old song, but "Smoke" is still one of my favorites by him.
