Why listening to lyrics is important.

I just saw a JC Penneys ad for Valentine's Day on tv. The song?

99 Red Balloons.

I mean hey, they're balloons, and they're red, so what could POSSIBLY GO WRONG??

*sigh*

Gurk.

That's just wrong. Just as bad as the Buick Regal ad I saw recently playing Aerosmith's Dream On.

But I gotta know: did they use the poor English version, or the way-neato German?

English.

Acoustic.

Slow.

Folksy.

In the immortal words of one of my players:

Nnnurgk?

That's so... so... so ineffably wrong. And yet, darkly funny, as if the person who suggested the song really hated V-Day deep down inside.

arrgh

Holy Hell.

Similar to them using CCR's Fortunate Son in the SuperBowl show.
You know. For the servicemen there.

Cause it is so darn patriotic.


WTF.

I was wondering if Fogerty then walked back to the dressing room and laughed his head off after that......I'd hope so.

Yay.....I want the end of the world for Valentines Day!!!
Valentine's Day = Apocalypse. Hey, wait. I kinda feel like that....

You and I, in a little toy shop...

Yeah, I just saw that commercial a few minutes ago, and let out a strong, heartfelt "WTF"?

But I do sometimes get an odd sense of joy when I'm working out at a certain right-wing-christian-run place and hearing songs about one-night-stands and, god forbid, a song by the GAYS!!!

You just gotta enjoy the tiny subversions, right?
