That third panel of the first comic just makes it. It's still funny if you remove it, but that panel included just makes it top tier.

quote:

In May 2002, following a show in Dallas, Texas, McCartney discussed the song with KCRW DJ Chris Douridas, saying:

I had been doing some [poetry readings] in the last year or so because I've got a poetry book out called Blackbird Singing, and when I would read "Blackbird", I would always try and think of some explanation to tell the people … So, I was doing explanations, and I actually just remembered why I'd written "Blackbird", you know, that I'd been, I was in Scotland playing on my guitar, and I remembered this whole idea of "you were only waiting for this moment to arise" was about, you know, the black people's struggle in the southern states, and I was using the symbolism of a blackbird. It's not really about a blackbird whose wings are broken, you know, it's a bit more symbolic.[8]

In 2018, McCartney further elaborated on the song's meaning, explaining that "blackbird" should be interpreted as "black girl",[9] in the context of the civil rights troubles in southern 1960s US

It's not a bad song actually, but I can't imagine what it must be like having your entire life's work being summed up for posterity by a completely on the nose declaration that you sometimes masturbate.

Pretty Fly is bad, but at least it's notable on some level.

Also, I think the worst part of it is Dexter, using his weird as gently caress voice to basically yell "UH HUH UH HUH".

Like.... Really? You wrote Smash and Gone Away, and.... This? Ugh.

I realise people like The Offspring, but punk made it people with degrees who come from sunny places where there are things to do isn't very good. It's just Crazy Taxi music.

So while Offspring's novelty songs are grating as hell, something like "I Want You Bad" is somehow even worse.

I just don't vibe with jokey, Californian punk at all, to be honest, so The Offspring getting huge always felt like an outsized irritant to me when otherwise I just would have mentally filled them with Pennywise, Bad Religion, NOFX etc as "not for me". But instead they made an album both my dad and pre-teen brother bought.

Arrrrgghh it's quite annoying that for 50ish years, all the credit for this song was laid at the feet of noted racist junkie bore Clapton, and the work of Duane Allman, Tom Dowd, Rita Coolidge and many others made him a rock legend forever. There's not even a coherent solo on the thing.

Yes Duane Allman came up with the riff and the piano part is Rita Coolidge, but Clapton was the scoundrel.

Pretty much every rock and roll love song is about having an affair, or treating a woman badly (here is guitar solo for you bitch), "forbidden love" as already noted here, or just how it's cool to bang this woman, sometimes with the lead singer actually banging the woman in a recording booth.

for a song to be truly the most embarrassing it needs to be embarrassing for both the artist and the listener. This makes The Offspring and Nickleback immune despite their effect on you as a listener.

yeah, that's the thing, to people that like the genre or people that don't care, if they've never heard St. Anger or haven't heard it in a long time, it comes off as a joke; like I literally had someone who hadn't heard it since high school go, "that's just a youtube poop, right?" and then I played him more tracks from the album.
I would never put my name on a drum track that sounded like that.

When I moved to the Toronto Beaches I was walking on the beach and realized "this is where that filmed that B4-4 video. This land is cursed". Funny thing, the brothers, the two that look like they have bird DNA, rebranded as an adult compentary duet and make music as Ryan and Dan.

Also, the worst hit song ever is Next Time I fall in love from Peter Cetra featuring Amy Grant
https://youtu.be/c-ENYuomYzA?si=H6VHjnjlAOXY4_Rb

This is everything wrong with white men making music. It is a crime against nature, but that is just Peter Cetra's voice, the song is an abomination from the depths of the abyss. One of the seals of the apocalypse cracked open and this song burst forth.

Also maybe Michael Buble isn't as popular in the US as he is in Canada? Everything he makes it basically designed for the most boring boomer.
https://youtu.be/1AJmKkU5POA?si=mStZYrqcHg8zExmD

Why do white guys always write songs where they are in love with a girl and thats all that matters? No one ever writes a song where the girl returns that affection. Just being in love with someone is enough for them to return it in their minds?
