My mother loved it and would play it incessantly, convinced that we should all follow the advice in the song. gently caress this. I hate being reminded that it existed ever. twistedmentat posted:Do you also eat nuts and kick butts? Sadly no, I do not eat butts or kick nuts.

Sunscreen song feels like the Funny Games of pop music. “Oh you like this form of art? Do you like it now that it feels bad??? Do you?!”

Rupert Buttermilk posted:Speaking of mr desmond, maybe you could help me? Yup, its Lets Go https://youtu.be/YLJGdDeEnN4?si=G6gh41nVMEnEuI-f I know a lot about him because i worked for HMV when he was starting out and i guess his record company and management made some deal with us to heavily promote his stuff and in store appearances and stuff. I mean, we also hosted Chingy and Austin Mahone, so yea. He's also playing the synthline from Yaz(oo)'s Don't Go.

Rupert Buttermilk posted:Thank you! I still hate it. I remember it being lower, but otherwise, it's still exactly how it's been in my brain. There's this thing in recent pop (and I mean the stuff you hear at fairgrounds and lovely local radio stations) where the hook from a well known song is just jammed in there wholesale and shamelessly. Part of me gets that the history of folk, pop and blues derived music is full of that, and of course there was sampling, but that was mostly transformative and not in such a blatant "I don't have a good hook of my own" sense.

You just reminded me of Train's "Play That Song", which rips off the melody of "Heart and Soul", of all things.

Armitage posted:People would think I'm crazy for hating this song, but it's Jordan Peterson in song form. I’ve seen people praising the lyrics as deep and it makes me feel like I’m going mad. “Please stay” “Oh god I hope I don’t lose you” Like, it’s not even really lyrics, it’s just him saying exactly what he feels without any metaphor or word play or anything whatsoever. Just stating his thoughts and desires.

The best thing about Baz Luhrmann’s sunscreen song is John Safran’s pisstake version https://youtube.com/watch?v=8YwqFz14xY4

redshirt posted:Guns and Trump? Well they're UK, so more conspiracy and nazi nuts. But whatever, they can be dickheads with bad beliefs, doesn't worry me. What does worry me is that they took Taylor Swift to court about her melody that is the same as I'm Too Sexy, and it is, it passes the musicologist test of looking the same on the page. But "My Girl", from 1965, has the same drat melody, so why are they getting any credit at all??

Turbo Fondant posted:...not really super popular or a massive hit but holy poo poo Hot Action Cop. Some of you might remember 'em from Need for Speed:Hot Pursuit but that version of Fever for the Flavor was censored to the point of basically a full rewrite except for the weird offhand line about having neon underglow. The original is more into a different sort of Hot Pursuit. I played the hell out of Hot Pursuit 2 first and it blew my mind when I heard the real song.

I'm pretty sure the Whitetown song was built around a sample, but in a sense that there was some crate-digging and recontextualisation, where the Dua Lipa song just makes me think "lol, remember Whitetown? That was a catchy hook, huh?"

Poo In An Alleyway posted:This thread is just a cavalcade of psychic damage, but every single aspect of this song (and its accompanying video featuring a cameo by Shifty Shellshock of Crazytown) is a loving nightmare for me; Fergie's vocals in particular feel like a razor blade on teeth. Fine.. I admit, I was confused by the quotes in this post - I mean who kills themselves to Black Eyed Peas?

That was a catchy hook, huh?" Yea, there's a lot of songs use samples and it's just there for a hook rather than actually being worked into the song. Sometimes the sample is really awkward, like 3rd Bass's Pop Goes the Weasel uses the horn but from sledgehammer but it sounds super out of place, it's still considered a hip hop classic though. https://youtu.be/HzXI_ApY4dY?si=bu4mOndJ65gWvgGP
