It never stops.

quote:

• Point one: Pop music is mostly a repetition of two types of musical and lyrical phrases, the verse and the chorus.
• Point two: These elements usually repeat three times in a three minute song, the type usually found on top-40 radio.
• Point three: Cut out the fat and a pop song is only one minute long. Then record albums can hold their own top-40, twenty minutes per side.
• Point four: One minute is also the length of most commercials, and therefore their corresponding jingles.
• point five: Jingles are the music of America.

There's no full album rip and I'm not linking forty goddman videos, so here's the music videos they did for the album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTJJb1UqjuA

 The Frogs wrote a snippet so good, they didn't even bother writing a song. They didn't even finish the chorus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_gmlUZ2lWg

Perfection.

The Frogs snippet is good too, reminds me a bit of GBV, but an even less developed song sketch than they used to do.
Most songs by The Frogs were improvised on the spot, short and as obscene as possible.

how the gently caress have I never heard of Scott Walker before JFC.
Be warned that Scott Walker goes to some really ugly, weird places that cracked his fanbase into two distinct factions of pop fans and Avant Garde fans.

I love the weird poo poo, though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhQbT65qIJY
