Okay, I confess. I sort of like Gwen Stefani....

[ScreamingMeemie]

If I were a rich girl....Nanananananaanananana Nah....Got it stuck in my head and it's a catchy little tune. :hi:

[tarkus]

1. That song has been in my head since I heard it last about a week ago.

Her songs might not be meaningful or musically complex, but one would be hard pressed to find catchier songs on the radio.

[ScreamingMeemie]

11. It was playing in the car on the way home...and I found myself

bopping along to it. I'm not usually a car bopper. :hi:

[derby378]

2. You'll love FIDDLER ON THE ROOF

That's where Gwen borrowed the riff from.

[ScreamingMeemie]

5. I adore Fiddler on the Roof...

One of my favorites...which is perhaps why I'm taken with this song. :hi:

[jobycom]

3. Just TRY

to say, in any conversation and for any reason, "if I were a rich girl (man, boy, whatever)" without going nananannnananna! It ain't possible.

[ScreamingMeemie]

12. Hey! Project for tomorrow!

Thanks for the idea joby!!! :hi:

[chatterboy]

4. She's cool

Just like the song now stuck in my head.

[ScreamingMeemie]

13. Catchy!

:hi:

[merwin]

6. I love Gwen! I'm glad she finally came out from underneath the corporate

music industry and started being herself.

From what I understand, she wasn't very happy with the direction 'No Doubt' was going. I'm glad she started bringing out the freak in her :-)

[ScreamingMeemie]

14. She does seem like a lot of fun....

ON a side note, everytime I see your username, it reminds me of when my son was just beginning to talk and he called our cat "merwin" instead of "merlin". :hi:

[merwin]

31. Haha, usually people call me merlin instead of merwin :-)

[swag]

7. She's grotesque. She was in No Doubt and she's gross.

I have never heard that inevitably nasty sounding song that you're going on about, and I'm glad about that. Because I don't want to support her schtick and any addictive bullshit song of hers.

I will admit to dancing at a Madrid disco to No Doubt's cover of "Hateful" by the Clash. But I was fucked up on shots of La Lupe and it was a song by the Clash. It was another country's dance time.

[ScreamingMeemie]

16. Still hungover from it, eh?

;) :hi: I still like it.

[swag]

18. In the very best way, yes.

Albeit years later.

[WCGreen]

24. You sound like a leonard Cohen song....

I love it.....

[sniffa]

8. i hate her

when did she go plastic? remember when she used to be cooL?

[ScreamingMeemie]

17. No. I am relatively "new" to her....as in, "who sings this?"

:hi:

[DarienComp]

9. This thread is bananas.

B-A-N-A-N-A-S.

[Kahuna]

10. Oh man. I like her too. She reminds me of Madonna....

I also love that Rich Girl song. I like, "Cool" too. Too bad about Hollerback Girl, though. I guess I can forgive her that one. :puke:

[ScreamingMeemie]

19. Rich girl is making me want to buy her CD.

:hi:

[Kahuna]

22. Me too!!!!

Don't ask Mrs. G. I don't know where that came from. But I like her. That's just it.

[ScreamingMeemie]

25. Me too! It's kind of fun to get hooked on a new singer.

:hi:

[Kahuna]

26. The drawback though is, "Hollerback Girl."

What do we do about THAT song? :puke"

[ScreamingMeemie]

30. Pretend it never happened....like my daughter does.

;)

[Kahuna]

35. LOL!!!!

What I'll probably do is copy the CD and leave that Hollerback thing off. :thumbsup:

[WCGreen]

15. It was catchy when Topal sang it.....

[Kahuna]

20. Okay. We all DO KNOW where the hook comes from...

:shrug: I like it anyway.

[WCGreen]

27. I hate to admit it since Swag will no longer trust me...

I tap my foot and sing it inside my head....

[Kahuna]

28. The Topal version?????

'Splain, WC.

[WCGreen]

34. From the Movie Fiddler on the Roof.......

If I were a rich man.. Da da diga diga diga diga diga do...

All day long i'd figgy diggy do...

If I were a wealthy mannnnnnn.....

Wouldn't have to work hard.................

It was inspired by a very good song to start with......

[Kahuna]

36. Actually the movie came way after the stage musical which I grew

up with. I used to see that song performed seemingly regularly on the Ed Sullivan show.

[WCGreen]

38. Yea but I own the Movie....

I don't own the broadway musical...

That is why I refer to the movie.....

I would have loved to have seen Zero Mostell sing that song....

the only Broadway Star that I hae seen sing the original

Richard Harris singing Arthur in Camelot

And Mandy Patimkin(sp) singing the Che charater in Evita....

[ScreamingMeemie]

21. You don't find it catchy with Gwen...?

The nananananananaNa part is what draws me in. :hi:

[Kahuna]

23. He's trying to show off his FOTR credentials?

:shrug:

[WCGreen]

29. I actually don't mind that song, I am not a pop music fan

but it is catchy....

It's hollerback girl I can't stand....

There is no there there

[ScreamingMeemie]

32. It's the catchiness....that's what it is....

Just that song...catchy.

[WCGreen]

37. And it was catchy when Topal sang it in the movie

and when the Great Zero Mostell sang it on the Broadway Stage.....


That's all I'm sayin'.....

[Kahuna]

33. That damn Hollerback thing was a billboard number one...

America has no clue or standards when it comes to music.

[JI7]

39. i like her but i just don't like her recent music

[driver8]

40. I love her with No Doubt...don't really like her solo stuff, though.

No Doubt rocks live, though. If you ever get the chance to see them -- do it. A very fun show.
