22-ish years ago I was riding in a car with some other teens and a parent was driving. This song I'd never heard before came on, and I expressed my opinion that it was a stupid song. After we got out, the parent took me off to the side and said that it isn't nice to call things people like 'stupid', and I was chastened. Every time I hear the song I remember the embarrassed feeling I felt at the time and I cringe. The song was "Werewolves of London". Today I realized that it is absolutely a stupid song and that it's meant to be.

This song I'd never heard before came on, and I expressed my opinion that it was a stupid song. Yeah, it was written in about 15 minutes by LeRoy Marinell, Waddy Wachtel, and Warren Zevon after Phil Everly had watched the old 30s movie Werewolf of London and made a joke to Zevon about making a song with the title and then Jackson Browne started playing it in concerts, and then T Bone Burnett started playing it as part of Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue. Then when Zevon was releasing his album Excitable Boy the record company picked that as the single instead of either of the ones Zevon wanted and there you go. quote:Zevon later said of the song, "I don't know why that became such a hit. We didn't think it was suitable to be played on the radio. It didn't become an albatross. It's better that I bring something to mind than nothing. There are times when I prefer that it was "Bridge Over Troubled Water", but I don't think bad about the song. I still think it's funny."[11] He also described "Werewolves of London" as a novelty song, "[but] not a novelty the way, say, Steve Martin's "King Tut" is a novelty."[2]

Werewolves of London rules just as much as La Union’s Lobo hombre en Paris. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhnOpwOMHgk But both pale in comparisons to Svengoolie’s version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVAWeIyYf5A ruddiger has a new favorite as of 01:07 on Nov 6, 2020 |

I feel like "stupid" is much more of a value judgement than "silly".

About eighteen months ago, a guy I used to be friends years ago with who drifted into pseudoscience hit me up on Steam with some questions. He was asking why the sun doesn't affect tides as much as the moon. I talked to him about the relative difference between the effect of the moon's gravity on one side of the planet compared to the other, and how the sun affects tides with king tides and neap tides, and he asked about why our bodies don't get tides because we're mostly water as well, and again, the relative difference in gravity between two points less than 2m apart is negligible etc etc. It occurred to me today that I may have dug him out of a Flat Earth-shaped hole before he fell all the way into it.

If you don't then most likely he didn't listen to any of it and was in Pennsylvania, Georgia or Arizona praying over ballots.

OK, you know how one of the big attacks on 'SJW, PC Police, Woke etc.' types is that they are humourless? I think I figured out why, Why people use that to attack them, and why to their minds it is a valid attack. Humour, at it's core is about not taking things seriously. And being an 'SJW', to use their term, is at it's core about caring about things. "Don't say n*gger, that word dehumanizes people and hurts their feelings. This is important.", "Indigenous people were here first, we should give them the acknowledgement, respect and support they deserve and weren't given in the past. This is important.", "Trans people are people, and deserve the rights and respect that is currently afforded to cis people. This is important." etc. The reason the conservative arseholes call the SJWs humourless is because they DON'T think that this stuff is important. They DON'T care. And as such see the humour coming from not these serious things lightly. And mocking those that do think these things are important. I suppose the same thin, but opposite politically, is us on the left making fun of how outraged the right got when Colin Kapaernick kneeled. i.e. We don't care or think it is important that football man kneeled, but they do care deeply and to our minds disproportionately. Thus its funny. Anyway, yeah. I had always thought they were just being dicks. But now I think they have, (in their own minds), a somewhat cogent argument.

Something I just noticed: the music video for Soundgarden's Black Hole Sun went through the "Star Wars Special Edition" process at some point and they redid a bunch of the effects and also added some new effects and even an entire new person: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mbBbFH9fAg Original here: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1gyn
