They did?

I Want It That Way has a nice melody, but I can't tell what they're singing about (I'd like to think its about their fear about some daunting sexual position, but I'm naughty). I do prefer Quit Playing Games, Backstreet's Back (I appreciate that they're not sure if their original, sexual or the only one), and even Larger Than Life, which Duran Duran should cover on Thank You Too.

I'd love to hear the Backstreet Boys cover "can I go out and kill tonight".

reading this has just made me download 'kiss from a rose'(seal) and 'ordinary world' (duran)

(Gobsmackedness fades; deep breath in preparation for outburst...)

People! Open-ended meanings = good. BSB dance trax gr8 but are primarily showcase for Swedish geezers & don't allow Boys to show personalities (stop laughing) like ballads do."Shape of My Heart" sounds like Chicago - overproduced into a ball of lacquer, structurally formulaic with a crap key change to boot - I'd trade all that album for "As Long As You Love Me". Ultimate all-powerfulness of IWITW shown beyond doubt when you sing it karaoke - melody all-enveloping, gain respect for Boys' singing - smoothness with which that high B on the key change is hit is unbelievable (shows up soullessness of "Shape"'s) - probably thanks to Max M. "Shape" produced by faceless machine, IWITW produced by mega-awesome supersonic faceless machine!

(Days of pent-up anger at paying $70 to see Pink and then having her lose her voice and not sing and then not get a refund subside. Hate stops, self-pity returns.)

I bet a P.I.L. cover of IWITW would be a lot more [insert useful descriptive term here].

Uh... yeah.

Tell me why?

Yesterday I went to watch my nephew and his friends sing this for a school choral competition (they are like 12, I don't understand how this even exists in their universe) and it was the funniest shit I've ever seen. As it happens they did not win, but they did remind me how impossibly catchy this song is.

No one has bothered mentioning that the OP may be an indie twat.

Oreskes Klein Watts (Sanpaku), Sunday, 29 March 2015 23:45 (nine years ago) link

That is deeply inaccurate.
