Radio Sucks

There are certain songs that just irritate me to no end. One of these is The Anthem, by Good Charlotte. At first, all I could discern was, “I don’t ever want to be you, don’t want to be just like you….” It was the way the singer emphasizes the word “just” that irritated me the most. I don’t know why, call it an unjustified hatred.

Over time, the song was drilled into my head as I listened to the radio, and I was able to figure out more crap lyrics. This song seems to be about a non-conformist describing his oh-so-cool rebelliousness that everybody speaks of these days. In the midst of the song, though, he takes an intermission from his song and starts saying: “Shake it once that’s fine, shake it twice that’s okay, shake it three times you’re playing with yourself….” Right. A little consistency here, please?

Another song that hit the airwaves like a storm and, luckily, left just as quickly was Cameltoe by FannyPack. I can but attribute one reason to this song’s success—people’s naitivity. If the people who heard this song had, as I have, known long ago what a camel toe was, this song would not have made it to the number one spot on Z100 when I first heard it. (As a side note, some of you may sneer at me for listening to Z100. I do so out of lack of choice. Please let me know of some good alternatives.)

This is essentially a poor song. The beat was awful, the vocals sucked, but, but, but… it was about camel toes. And hence it becomes a great song to many ears.

I really need a better source of music while I’m driving.
