jon Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 I'm going to go out on a bit of a limb and say that I quite like that Human song. My main complaint with it is that, on a couple of occasions, the huge delay makes something sound horribly out of tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest treader. Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Most people get annoyed by the lyric 'are we human or are we dancer' because it "doesnt make sense"What they dont seem to know, though, is that it's a Hunter S Thompson quote, rather than an error in grammar!

Guest Exposure @ Lemon Tree Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 I thought that was well known.I actually didn't know that........That lyric does bother me, but it's not just that line. I can't think of the lyrics off the top of my head, but I just remember them annoying me. I'm going to try very hard to enjoy the song next time I hear it just to make sure I'm not being unfair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Mac Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 I quite like the killers second album..... Coldplay are a bit bland though.And I don't think i've ever heard scouting for girls.... maybe this is a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Fucking hell - that London's Calling cover is horribleHere's the lyrics for She's So Lovely - imaginative and originalNot repetitive in the slightest. Cunts.And it doesn't even make sense! The whole "I Don't Know" refrain doesn't fit into the narrative of the song at all, what are "we" trying to get through? The rest of the song is about seeing a good looking girl nearby. There's no relationship on the rocks in any other part of the song, it just appears from nowhere.Cockmoppers.

I've no idea how the songwriter and his mate ("we") will get through it.Never mind though, she is lovely, as if we needed reminding, again.

waltz Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Here's the lyrics for She's So Lovely - imaginative and originalWow, I didn't realise there were some risqu lyrics in there, probably because during the times I've had to endure that song I've reverted to a happier place in a dark part of my mind where Ruby Wax stroking polystyrene and cawing is a much nicer sound.

Mouse Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 I can't get the new Killers song out my head. The lyrics are terrible. I dislike them because most of their songs sound the same and very dull imo. On the rare occasion I get dragged to Liquid by my "mate" I can guarantee I will hear them at least twice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kernel Loaf Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 What?How can you possibly compare Coldplay and the Killers for that matter to Scouting For Girls.He was comparing the shittiness, not the music.And yeah, they are all amazingly shite bands. 4hero - now there is some talent.

ewoks20 Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Is it just me or doesnt the amount of music snobbery get a bit boring on this site?It seems some of the folk on here cant go 2 days without laying into whatever is in the top 10?Do you really know better than all the thousands of people that put these songs into the charts?I'll give you Scouting for Girls they are woefully shit but not so much that I would go starting a thread about it! And as for the Killers and Coldplay both bands have had critical, professional and public acclaim so to be honest. Im sure they couldnt care less what some part time musician from Aberdeen thinks nor would their fans it just seems threads like this are created to get a reaction not any positive or meaningful discussion.By that last comment Im generalising Im not having a dig at whoever started this thread or one person in particualr it just seems the forum has changed a lot to me it used to be so much more upbeat and positive in the stuff you would read.Anyway I probably wont post again for months I generally only read the threads its just been getting my backup.

Stichman Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Thank fuck I was never subjected to that.By the way what's happened to Hard-Fi? For some reason this thread reminded me of them. I fucking hated them.Hard-Fi are an abomination. I hate all that self-indulgent 'working class hero' pish. "We're well fucking street, man. We live for the weekend. It's all CCTV, grime and lager for us. SOLID."Piss off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's clearly all an act to get people to avoid how shit their songs are and buy their records.Oasis did a similar thing, except it wasn't an act (it was probably overplayed), but (in my opinion), they could back it up with cracking songs.
