I've just seen an advert that lasted about 50 minutes*
for an Elvis compilation.

I mnean FFS aren't people sick of this cunt by now? He died years ago, let him go, get on with your lives and if I see anybody dressed as Elvis trying to entertain people I'm going to murder you with your own kidneys.

But
he was the King.

No
he was crap...and still is through the medium of remixes. Which just makes these remixes crap and unoriginal.

Whereas
any old rapper can thieve a tune off someone, talk shit over the top and get numbers ones and that.

Don't get me started on that.
If you can't write anything original then don't fucking bother...you're obviously not talented enough and the music world would be better off without you in it.

The only time I feel covers of songs are acceptable is if you're already a respected musician/band...

Elvis was great,
but all the impersonaters really annoy me. Leave him in peace.

I may have liked him if
I could switch channel without seeing a compilation and constantly have Elvis impersonators banging on about him...

All this has programmed me to hate him with a passion.

Elvis
I like Elvis but you're right too much hype trying to squeeze as much money out of him as possible.
(therocker, Sun 10 Jul 2005, 21:20, archived)

He was good,
but then so were a million other bands.
If you like him, listen to his records.
If not, spack up.

there is obviously
fuck all original
finding it's way to the market place.

so the pony-tailed fuckers in marketing
will sell re-cycled shite to the masses

...blimey, that was outlandish for me :)

Or to put it another way
Compilations are cheap - there's no studio costs.
(mailinator, Sun 10 Jul 2005, 21:41, archived)

Apparently (according to stupid statistics)
at the current rate of elvis impersonator expansion, by the year 2025, 1 in 3 people will be an elvis impersonator.

Bloody scientists, world in the balance, and they spend 5 years and £400m to find out that ants suffer from road rage.

In that case
I shall single handedly cut the earths population by a third.

I shall be declared world leader for my work in reducing overpopulation and stopping the ensuing famine that has been caused...

or something

Although, you would probably need to be the world leader to cut the population...
