Sigh....
Alright, here goes. What shitty crap music is on my iPod?
- The Rainbow Connection by Kermit the Frog
- Livin' on a Prayer by Bon Jovi
- Baby One More Time by Britney Spears
- Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead by XTC
- Dude Looks Like a Lady by Aerosmith
Now the important question is: who do I want to torment? Let's see...
Cath because she inflicted the last embarrassing music meme on me...mwahahahaha!
Okham...I know you're just dying to share your ABBA collection with us.
Amanda...well, she's already shared her taste in TV shows.... :-)
ScienceGirl...cuz she just tagged me!
And Candid Engineer...this is a post that can definitely be written in-between watching Michael Phelps!

Thanks for the tag :) And, in my book, Aerosmith is not crap music, no matter the silliness of the song :)
I knew you were going to tag me for this one... how did I know it ? Not sure... all I know is, there was something in the air, that night, the stars were bright...
A friend of mine created a whole CD entitled, "Music to Scream at the Top of Your Lungs", which includes Livin' on a Prayer and "Born to Run", among many, many others. It is a fantastic CD.
I would go with "Toxic" as my fave junk song by Mademoiselle Spears. Annoyingly catchy, in that bubonic-plague-catchy kind of way.
Thanks a bunch :-) And, I too, like to yell Livin' on a Prayer at the top of my lungs... preferably in the car with the windows up.
Any song by Brittney is crap.
ScienceGirl--Heh...I do have other Aerosmith songs on my iPod, but Dude Looks Like a Lady always cracks me up! :-)
Okham--Oh dear god, what have I started???
DGT--I have an iPod playlist consisting entirely of those kinds of songs. Good for the commute...keeps me from screaming obscenities at the other drivers. :-)
Amanda--I only sing in my car with the windows up. If you ever hear me sing, you'd know why!
Seeking Solace--Can't disagree there. But some of them do sort of grow on me...sorta like mold....
Kermit the frog? KERMIT THE FROG???!!!! OK, no matter what I dredge up from my iPod it will not be as embarrassing as that!
Man, I'm just getting no love at all from my mates today....
well...i love kermmy.
You know, I actually love several of those songs on your list. But I am not going to name which ones.
Rhea--Thanks, bud! Now I know who my real friends are! :-)
Bean-mom--Aww...pretty please? I'm being mercilessly mocked by Cath here....
How can you call any Bonjovi or Aerosmith song crap????!!! Britney Spears sure, but Living on a Prayer??? I am sitting here broken hearted. I have been shot through the heart.
Yes I am that cheesy :)
I'll admit to singing along to Living on a Prayer whenever I hear it too. When I was about 23 or so (in 2000) my friends and I went to a "cheesy pop" night at the local student union, which was full of 17 and 18 year olds. We were the only people who knew the words. I felt so old.
Cath did you really miss the other reference in there?
Livin On A Prayer and Baby One More Time are both fantastic songs. Aerosmith is an overrated critical darling.
Oh no, I caught them and tried to think of some more, but couldn't!
cc, I hope you're excluding any collaborations with Run DMC from that statement.
Thanks for the tag. The awesome thing is that I don't have an ipod, and the $3 piece-of-crap music shuffler that I've been using broke last week. I think I'm excused. :)
Okay, I do love "Livin' on a Prayer" and pretty much all the Bon Jovi I've heard.
And I like "Rainbow Connection" too!
ScientistMother--Did you really write that??? I think we may be giving ourselves a bad name! :P
Cath--I did notice, to my chagrin, that many of the songs on my "lame music" shortlist were older songs. Did I already tell you that March Hare recently heard an INXS song on the local "classics" radio station? Sigh....
CC--Now that's one comment about Aerosmith that I've never heard!
Candid Engineer--Oh, now that is just too unfair...that you can't be embarrassed the way I have, I mean! Alright, alright...I guess I'll just have to find another way. ;-)
Bean-mom--Thank you, thank you, thank you! I knew I couldn't be the only person who likes Rainbow Connection. So Cath, you gonna take on both of us?!
cath is high. Rainbow Connection kicks total ass! Your next assignment is Kermit's Kokomo...sublime!
You're all muppets ;)
DM--Another supporter...awesome! And Kermit sings Kokomo? I think I see a trip to iTunes in my future. :-)
Cath--I'd make a joke about which muppet we each might be, but I've actually never seen the show.

...to get away from it all.
Cath--I'd make a joke about which muppet we each might be, but I've actually never seen the show.
ack. gak. pflllt. WHAAAAT???!!?!?!?!
oh, my.
Kermit's Kokomo totally cracks me up...thanks for the link. Now I just have to figure out how to make Cath's computer play it everytime she logs in!
Yeah, yeah...I know...those of us who didn't grow up in the US were totally deprived of such hallmarks of American culture.... ;-)
Eh, I grew up watching the Muppet Show translated into italian... it lost something in the translation, but it was still too funny...
I watched the muppet show in the UK. Great stuff. "Muppets" has come to mean "idiots" in UK slang - does it have the same meaning in the US?
But what you really, really should check out is a movie called Meet the Feebles. It was directed by Peter Jackson before his Lord of the Rings days and is bloody hilarious. Not for the faint of heart though!
Okham--Muppets in Italian? Weird! Well, we didn't get the Muppets in "Bolivia"...but then we only had 2 TV channels and both were owned by the government (translation: showed lots of boring useless stuff).
Cath--Not aware of "muppets" having that connotation here, but clearly I'm not the best person to ask about American idioms! Where's Ruchi when we need her?
Tag, you Mad Muppethugger, you!
Sorry, I guess I'm late to the party. I've never heard "muppets" being used to describe idiots so it may be in use, but it's not COMMON.
Bikemonkey--Oh dear god...not another meme! :-)
Ruchi--So the next time some idiot cuts me off on the highway without using his blinker, I shouldn't yell, "You f***ing MUPPET"? :-)
