That's the thing
all these hip young acts these days. They know that their target audience have almost zero knowledge of music so by releasing a cover of a classic, you've got a guaranteed seller and your idiot audience react with: "Oh my GOD I LOVE this song XD" without being aware that the song is actually a cover...

Fucking Florence

lack of knowledge when someting is a cover is annoying

it feels like they are killing the original by burying it in shit.

The X Factor will ruin Don't Stop Believing.
Which is very annoying to me.

The Queen night on X Factor
just highlighted how painfully average these singers are compared to himself.

I mean one of those pricks didn't even have a decent crack at the "OH MUMMA MIA MUMMA MIA!!!" bit on Bohemian Rhapsody. Pricks!

this is actually how Andrew Lloyd Webber operates
He takes snippets from classical music that you know but probably can't name, adds some gay lyrics and *bingo* 'a classic'.

In his defence he is the first to admit it.

Not in his defence, he's a total cunt with a face like a baboon's scrotum.

I agree
that description is not really in his defence at all...

heh
"nobody does it better" is my theme tune. I'd forgotten that
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Fri 4 Dec 2009, 15:29, Reply)

Is that according to you...
...or was it designated?
(Tugnut Ex of this parish, Fri 4 Dec 2009, 15:32, Reply)

my ex
so a bit biased. she probably wouldn't agree now.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Fri 4 Dec 2009, 15:33, Reply)

My other half would probably say mine is...
..."Love Comes Quickly" by the Pet Shop Boys.
(Tugnut Ex of this parish, Fri 4 Dec 2009, 15:36, Reply)

haha
this puts me in mind of a time with my ex (not because of prematureness of anything I hasten to add). I had stuck some music on, and she was on her way down to give me a good noshing, when "Look to your orb for the warning" by Monster Magnet came on, the first lines of which are "Going down now"
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Fri 4 Dec 2009, 15:40, Reply)

Mine is the theme from Top Gun

I want it as I'm cremated on a viking long boat on the Thames while a thousand women weep.

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Fri 4 Dec 2009, 15:33, Reply)

very similar to my desired funeral
although I want to be fired out of a cannon to land on the burning boat.

edit: I can play the main theme from top gun on the guitar. it is quite ridiculous.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Fri 4 Dec 2009, 15:34, Reply)

It's so ridiculous, but that's its genius
this should have been in the bad films taht are great thread yesterday

EDIT: This would be the first thing I learnt on guitar if I wasn't hand mental
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Fri 4 Dec 2009, 15:35, Reply)

it will probably feature in my film when I get round to making it
"Afternoon Tea with the Dead"
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Fri 4 Dec 2009, 15:38, Reply)

"eat rock cake zombie scum"

Guess whose coming for tea?

The world has scone to the dead
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Fri 4 Dec 2009, 15:41, Reply)

Tea with Mussul-zombie

Starring dame Maggie Smith, she already looks a bit dead...
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Fri 4 Dec 2009, 15:43, Reply)

I like their album of country songs as well
the mix of Love Song by The Damned with the theme from Smokey and the Bandit is pure genius.
