like sure, it'd be great to be the maverick and vote for something other than the well-known consensus pick but "Honey, I'm Good" invokes a kind of rage nothing else matches

same, there have been points where i've put myself and others in serious danger because the first half second ("NA-") came on the radio and 100% of my attention immediately goes to making it stop

there has never been a sound more unpleasant than andy grammer going "NAW NAW"

you guys are seriously not giving due consideration to "#OMW2SYG (Swiggity Swooty)" by SPLURT
don't make me post it again

Feline Resurrection not getting enough consideration here

Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Friday, 23 October 2015 06:57 (eight years ago) link

It takes a while to respond to, what with the video being about two weeks long. For those who haven't seen/heard it, it's like if the Albatraoz people decided to be intellectuals.

Feline Resurrection is like the cat equivalent of the bird-people wrestling anthem from Always Sunny.

the naive cockney chorus (Simon H.), Friday, 23 October 2015 12:09 (eight years ago) link

also i'm pretty sure the opening is racist although its also incoherent so its kind of hard to get a handle on

Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Friday, 23 October 2015 16:17 (eight years ago) link

The translation on the intro to Feline Resurrection doesn't work at all because in Chinese she's clearly specifying "cow milk" which has no sexual connotation whatsoever (also you 'eat' breast milk in Chinese, but anyway). Guessing that whoever translated it really didn't care, and can't blame them.

I have been in Germany and unable to watch most of the videos in this thread. Which I found annoying, until just now, when back in my GEMA-free home, I played Feline Resurrection, which is not only the worst song on this thread, but the worst song of all time. WHO COULD THAT APPEAL TO AND WHY ARE THEY NOT IN JAIL ALREADY?

Three Word Username, Tuesday, 27 October 2015 16:07 (eight years ago) link

why is the video for Feline Resurrection 7 minutes long?

I Am Curious (Dolezal) (DJP), Tuesday, 27 October 2015 16:58 (eight years ago) link

The least erotic erotic introduction of all time adds an endless couple of minutes.

Three Word Username, Tuesday, 27 October 2015 17:56 (eight years ago) link

wow that j sutta thing

"We were already sold when we saw these three giant yetis shredding it in PPL MVR's only video - but then we heard the music, and were completely won over. Not much is yet known about this power trio - other than they only communicate in interviews through grunts. The future of rock might be slightly hairier now, but colour us intrigued.

i don't know what the hell to make of the visuals but annie is at least not revolting on first listen.

oh man that J Sutta thing is like a perfect storm of stupid people watching Twigs and thinking "we can do this" plus some kind of Cats-the-musical-goes-BDSM nightmare

haha forks i knew you would be the one who would like it

Cosmic Slop, Wednesday, 28 October 2015 12:59 (eight years ago) link

*shrug* i wouldn't go so far as LIKE IT but i listened to it once and don't feel scarred, please pass me my "this guy loves autotuned sasquatches" shirt

a llove spat over a llama-keeper (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 28 October 2015 13:50 (eight years ago) link

I'm not watching the J Sutta video but I am listening to the audio; the song is incredibly embarrassing, like "Corey Feldman with a production budget"-level embarrassing

I Am Curious (Dolezal) (DJP), Wednesday, 28 October 2015 14:24 (eight years ago) link

It's good how the cat intro was acted in English, then dubbed into Chinese and subtitled in English. That's dedication.

I think we've had worse. But in the interest of fairness, I'd like to see "Feline Regurgitation" extended to include a list of credits and ads for merch.

flyingtrain (sbahnhof), Wednesday, 28 October 2015 19:08 (eight years ago) link

ok in principle i am not really opposed to a video all about a loving little consensual BDSM scene where someone has a profound cat/milk fetish. but why does it turn into a creepy murder scene after that? i guess the plot is that this scene went awry and that our protagonist has mixed feelings about it? or is the whole thing some stupid metaphor for resenting your mother? not well thought out.

it's always weird when these featherweight dopey songs, with not a lot going on in the 'main' video, bother shooting a whole separate prologue and a long instrumental break. like maybe they could have used that footage for the verses or something, relieve the monotony.

the song itself is garbage but only the way that everything else is.

Gorefest Frump (Doctor Casino), Wednesday, 28 October 2015 20:18 (eight years ago) link

I heard an awful song that Shazam told me was Grouplove "Ways To Go" but turns out it's from 2013.

Also I've grown to REALLY hate Jason Derulo "Want To Want Me," but I feel like a decent percentage of ILX probably enjoys it.

So with that said, here's Rod Stewart:

billstevejim, Tuesday, 10 November 2015 17:43 (eight years ago) link

shazam has appeared on my computer somehow and when a car drives past it tells me the name of the antagonistic sounds that i can just about block out. cars are bad enough for the environment as it is but there is no need for these sounds not only to follow me home but to identify themselves in this way

saer, Tuesday, 10 November 2015 18:06 (eight years ago) link

what a shit world we live in where phones can identify songs on command. this is truly the end of times.

billstevejim, Tuesday, 10 November 2015 21:42 (eight years ago) link

I went two blissful years without a phone but have had to relent and buy one, I keep it at arms length as much as possible, but this was my computer that is keeping me informed about the garbage that is proliferating from these cars

holding out a sliver of hope but this is a very disconcerting sign of what may come with 'chiraq' http://theconcourse.deadspin.com/this-terrible-new-song-from-spike-lees-chi-raq-cant-pos-1741795557

you drive around with your computer on?

I feel like it's time to bring this thread full circle

I guess that ruins the point of "full circle." or else this liz/sophie song is so bad it un-closes the circle

There is the germ of a good song in that Liz track...

This was being circulated as a contender on Twitter a few days ago but...it's...growing on me...

Al Ain Delon (ShariVari), Friday, 13 November 2015 20:17 (eight years ago) link

For 10 seconds of the first verse, as her voice gets lower, I don't want to kill anyone involved in that song. Those ten seconds end.

Three Word Username, Friday, 13 November 2015 20:38 (eight years ago) link

I actually really love that Girli track.

boxedjoy, Sunday, 15 November 2015 08:46 (eight years ago) link

The terrible bits are aggressively terrible but the sung parts are pretty catchy.

Al Ain Delon (ShariVari), Sunday, 15 November 2015 08:53 (eight years ago) link

two weeks pass...

As we move to the end of the year, I'd like to drop a quick note to encourage any readers / lurkers / ilxors to post their least favorite tracks from this year to the thread so that I can hoover them into the ongoing spotify playlist. Last chance for any accessible stragglers that may not already be in the lexicon.

Eugene Goostman (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 1 December 2015 08:42 (eight years ago) link

what was that one hysterically bad song about (iirc) Tinder dates, that got taken down within hours of the internet discovering it? I wanna vote for that based solely on memories of the one time I watched it

Eugene Goostman (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 1 December 2015 21:05 (eight years ago) link

no, that's the tobacco PSA one -- this was some weird earnest shit with a guy and a girl standing side by side staring into the camera singing while acting out their tinder date or something -- does anybody remember what I'm talking about? pretty sure it had its own thread, we may not have discussed it ITT

bernard snowy, Tuesday, 1 December 2015 21:09 (eight years ago) link

i think that video was taken down within hours of being posted. they were able to take it down before dying of embarassment, i guess
