Don't be dissin' "Escape (The Pina Colada Song)" |
|
It is the Leftovers' trademark song, performed frequently at karaoke places frequented by the Leftovers! It is a true classic! :D

37. If Hell has elevator music |
|
you can be sure that tune is playing nonstop. It's the aural equivalent of a root canal.

4. Let me guess: you're too young to remember 1979... |
|
...and how that fucking song was all over the radio and jukeboxes. And to have it revived as a staple of "Lite Rock" radio is adding insult to injury! :puke:
Kinda like when Lee Ann Rimes, who wasn't even born until the '80s, remade "You Light Up My Life" and made those of us who remember 1977 suffer through that piece of shit all over again. :grr:
Once a crappy song, always a crappy song.

6. Truer words were never said |

People who weren't around back then don't realize how much more limited our radio choices were.
One more offense against humanity that I must mention : I've Never Been To Me - Charlene

35. well, I's just a dummCanuk - but I liked that song ! |
|
. . .
I lived in SanDee for all of 1979, and yup, Disco was in, and me being a new Canuk in the US, I was havin a major culture exposure to CA
and I loved it
I was single, girls liked me, some just because of my "canukness"
So . . .
No apologies from me for loving every minute !!

Almost as enjoyable as sticking your genitals in a blender and hitting "Purree."

And the stand-up comedy that happens around the songs. You know, "I'm not good, but I'm funny, so laugh!" and that sort of thing...

You are so incredible when you get up on stage...
Even when I am no longer sober I am terrified up there...
You are so calm and cool though..

21. LOL, I actually like that stuff |
|
My associations with being "in the spotlight" are all about making people laugh at family gatherings.
But I can see where microphones and an audience might make you a little jumpy.

23. Depends on the crowd! |
|
Crowd of people where I'm stuck in the middle looking at armpits? :scared: Crowd of people laughing cause I look like an idiot? Rock on!
How do you feel about lines, like at airport security?

Airport security gives me chills. I don't mind flying, but the airport is teh suck. What's funny is Ulex has the same weird phobia, so we do the moral-support thing for each other pre-flight.
*staring at you* You're the center of attention! Bwahaha!

Your expression when you were waiting for the song to begin said it all.

but I liked that song. But I did get sort of sick of hearing it on the radio every 15 minutes.

I remember that song when it came out, I was living in SanDiego at the time
and now it's "buzzing" thru my head - all YOUR fault !!
and I actualy DRANK the darn things,
you could buy them pre-mixed at almost any corner store
back in my DWI days
- (settle - that's over 20 years ago!!)
