Wow... that's about my count too.

Synchronicity II is hand's down my favorite song of theirs. Don't Stand So Close To Me is a certified banger. Every Breath You Take would be the third if it wasn't for the lyrics.

I love Sting's solo song Desert Rose.

Yeah, and I'm sure to Bob it was just that. I bet his audiences did change. Doing that probably attracted a younger crowd that were just starting to hear electric. Jimi Hendrix played at Woodstock and all he played was electric.

Audiences changed. Beatles fans were really p'od when they broke up even though they knew it long before it happened.

Yup. Strange thing.

Yeah...

30 years from now kids are going to wonder how we even made music without AI.

The greatest symphonies and such were written by Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin and the like. Modern composers cannot in my opinion come close. And neither would bloody AI.

Music is also mathematics. AI may understand the mathematics of music but there is no soul.

I'll put it in the Music thread. I don't want to keep showing vids in here when I gave Jaynez crap for turning this into another Music thread.

Here's one songs of hidden mean, subtle cryptic protest hidden within a poem, some in the West were more free while others lived under theocracy, dictators etc Some songs are just about guys Cheating getting high and drunk or 'Sluts' who cheat...a girl named Macarena who cheats on her boyfriend with two friends while he’s being drafted into the army. Some are less subtle but then evolve Beatles’ ‘Back in the U.S.S.R.’: a nod to their fans behind the Iron Curtain, the parodies that later became a peace offerings. Political protests against leaders, mass shootings, criminal rapist culture, Not so much a great song, I never liked the vocal on Nirvana but I give him a nod for highling the crime and rape and abuse, ‘Polly’ it later played with benefits to help rape victims. Lots of hidden meanings in Latin America and Spanish songs, Flores, by Cuban artist Danay Suarez, is about resisting “stones” with “flowers” and from Japan layer upon layer of history in a protest song from 1961 that became the top song in the US. Sukiyaki by Kyu Sakamoto has an amazing back story it mourned the change in his own Japanese culture. But very few people realized that this song, written by Kyu’s friend Rousuke Ei, was inspired by the deep sense of injustic. The phrase "I don't like Mondays" there is some English Irish, Jew-Anglo-Irish guy maybe Geldof, it became famous from a 1979 song by Boomtown Rats, inspired by a tragic school shooting, and has since entered popular culture, the song followed years after he boasted the Boomtown Rats were bigger than some US bands and after Dylan/Woody Guthrie influences were part of his , it was controversial back then when there were less shootings so can you do it now? "Pumped Up Kicks" is a song by American indie pop band Foster the People that one was almost banned it was released as the band's debut single in September 2010. Iran Middle East comments they did it already "Rock the Casbah" is a song by the English punk rock band the Clash. A great political song “We Didn’t Start the Fire” you are not allowed criticize both sides anymore you must pick a side in the Uniparty system.

I read he also had perfect pitch, that's why he could remember his 'music' scores, he knows what every instrument plays where every note should be, his strings and flutes and drums, he could read a musical notation and hear it perfectly in his head.

Forgot Elvis was a mutt-mix of immigration and Native, I knew he was Native and something else, he probably experienced the melting pot of sounds that inspired him.

Yanno... since we've been living in Clown World since about 2012.

This is again, kind of the point of the thread... That we live in a world where songs about shooting up schools to a beat you can dance to are fine, but Lisa Loeb would be shunned on lefty online hell for Stay.


But then you said that Pumped Up Kicks was made in 2010, and that kind of changes things a bit. We were still reasonably sane back then, at least relatively speaking.

Huh... I had no idea it was that old. The first time I'd heard it was probably in 2018 at work. I could only make out some of the words of the chorus but loved the sound. Wasn't until I finally figured out what song it was and listened to it at home when I went "Holy shit. That's not what I was expecting. It's such a happy sounding song".


Don't get me wrong. I like the song. It's on my playlist.



I remember one of the guys from the band in an interview laughing about how all the yuppies would be dancing to this song, not knowing what the hell they were dancing to. I get the feeling that he probably hates his audiences as much as Kurt Cobain hated his audience and wrote songs making fun of them, like In Bloom.

It's right along the same lines of OutKast making fun of all the white people weddings playing Hey Ya...

Seriously... Have you ever really listened to that one???



Don't Want to meet your Daddy. Just want you in my Caddy.

Don't want to meet your Mama. Just want to make you comma.

I'm just being honest.



I think the most insidious line that nobody talks about comes right before we're shaking it like a Polaroid picture, when he says "Lend me some sugar, I AM your neighbor!"

To me? That reads like dude is telling anyone who listens that he's a poon hound that has no interest in relationships, and now because black people have been placed into white neighborhoods by the government throught the entire country, dude is going to come over and fuck your white wife while you're at work. Good luck with the mixed baby and nobody there playing child support for the kid that's not yours. Cause Audre's already long gone.

I still like the song. It's still on my list. Because the fact that every single wedding party for 3 years had that song on their playlist is just about hilarious to me as it was to Andre.
