OMG! WTF!

[Nuclear Unicorn]

My boyfriend loaded my mp3 player with some songs. He's got the weirdest tastes; he likes the 70's and 80s in additon to the modern hard stuff. It's nothing to have his radio go from Slipknot to Neil Diamond. New Wave, Disco, lounge music, he's got it.

Anyway...

I'm listening to this song and it's the saddest damned song I've ever heard. The title says it's Terry Jacks - Seasons in the Sun.

I'm blubbering like a child in the middle of the office and I can't stop and people are looking at me like I'm an idiot.

I'm going to kill him!

[Symarip]

1. How much Oingo Boingo did he put on there?

Your answer will be graded.

[Nuclear Unicorn]

2. The entire Boi-ngo CD plus some singles

[Symarip]

3. His stock is rising.

He would have scored a flawless victory had he included Nothing to Fear in it's entirety.

[TZ]

7. He likes Disco, though as I do

So what does that say? Spit it out! :popcorn:

BTW, I have to admit I know and like the Terry Jacks song....

[Symarip]

15. Nobody's perfect.

Especially you.

[Nuclear Unicorn]

8. He's got a lot of Dead Man's Party too

[Rabrrrrrr]

13. No matter how much Oingo Boingo is on there, the only correct answer is "not enough"

:woohoo:

[Symarip]

14. Truer words are rarely spoken.

On my mp3 player, I have a version of Cry of Vatos played backwards just for the hidden messages.

[petronius]

18. Well, I think "All of it" would also qualify as a correct answer

:)

[merh]

4. you are young

Here, the youtube

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYsrKDSKzWg

when I was in junior high this song came out - I had lost my childhood friend to leukemia, I always envisioned him singing it.

to you my markiewillieb :toast:

[Nuclear Unicorn]

6. OK, I can't watch that or I'll go to pieces again

I'm already puffy and my eyes are red. Thank God I don't wear make-up or I'd be a wreck.

I was just collecting myself when Family Portrait by Pink started playing and I puddled up again. I had to FF to some Rage Against the Machine.

[merh]

9. Okay, don't watch that one

You want an earworm that will drive you nuts - a one hit wonder from my yuth.

Maybe this will help eliminate the tears.

[volstork]

33. You are a demon from hell

Although it could be all my fault since I DID click the link...

[merh]

34. and there was no sound at all

but the clock up on the wall



















:hide:




















:evilgrin:

[volstork]

35. What's REALLY sad

is that I LOVED that song when I was in 4th grade.

[merh]

36. Its the rhythm

not necessarily the lyrics - you get caught up in the songs movement

I mean really, did we know what the lyrics were about beyond mom was scared and dad came home safe?

Even though we watched the FBI every Sunday night with our folks, did we really know what it was about or about the Chicago gangsters of old?

[Orsino]

16. There are many of us who will jeer you in public...

...but I have to admit it's a very, very sad song, despite its sappiness.

[AlienGirl]

5. I love that song! Also love "Shannon"

Nothing beats my roommate's music collection: the car CD changer currently has one Matisyahu, two Rammstein, one assortment of Finnish folk music (some good yoik on it), and a CD of songs about space travel (that was a fundraiser for Mars exploration).

[Arugula Latte]

10. Ah, the soundtrack of my childhood. Ask him to play "Wildfire" for you

if you want to keep blubbering.

11. Yikes, we just did a "Seasons in the Sun" thread a few weeks ago

that was a huge hit in the early 70s and then the guy just disappeared

[truedelphi]

19. Hadn't he been in The Chessman or some other Prom Night

Kinda band in the very early sixties?

The thing is, his song "Seasons in the Sun" sold like 15 million copies.

[rug]

12. If you see anything in there by Bobby Goldsboro, hunt him down and slice his nuts off.

[texanwitch]

20. Here is cute version of this icky song.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7Un6yd986c

[rug]

28. Lol! That almost singlehandedly salvages that song.

[texanwitch]

30. The Smothers Brothers did a number on that song.

I can't find it on youtube.

The guys had the Honey House and a guided tour, singing this stupid song.

Bobby was not pleased.

[Taverner]

17. Driven to tears by Seasons in the Sun?

Wow - I'd hate to think what Cat's in the Cradle would do to you...

[PassingFair]

21. Or "In the Ghetto"...

That one gives me goosebumps for some reason.

:crazy:

[texanwitch]

22. I heard that song yesterday.

Elvis was singing on the car radio.

[Taverner]

24. For me its because Elvis sings it

I am no Elvis fan, but on that song - its the closest thing to a political song he's ever done

And he talks about poverty - shows me he was an OK guy...

[MadMaddie]

32. Only by Elvis...I need tissue everytime I hear it!

[Tuesday Afternoon]

43. or Patches.

[Drunken Irishman]

23. Slipknot? Dump him yesterday.

[Nuclear Unicorn]

25. Heck no...that's love making music

[Taverner]

26. Aw come on - its not like he put on Ted Nugent or something....

[Nuclear Unicorn]

38. um...er...actually...

[Taverner]

45. The NUGE?? DUMP HIM!!!!

:P

[Nuclear Unicorn]

47. But I never dated Ted Nugent!!!

:P

[sakabatou]

37. Huh... doesn't do anything for me

But http://video.yahoo.com/watch/480180/2601920">THIS song does. It's "Farewell," by Yoko Kanno.

[MilesColtrane]

39. Does he have "Timothy" by The Buoys on there?

It's the catchiest little song about cannibalism you'll ever hear.
