Under the Bridge by the Red Hot Chili Peppers

I absolutely hate this band, but I can't help but like this song.

I thought it was going to be "Who Are Parents"

I really like the last like 30 seconds of that song. More than just about anything else that can be heard on rock radio stations. I wish the whole song was just the outro repeated over and over again.

Or Two Of Hearts
Or More Than Words
Or Girls Girls Girls
Or More Than A feeling (Fuck it, I'll admit I have a boston fetish)

― Brandon Biondo (twinkiebots), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 16:48 (nineteen years ago) link

It reminds me of Queen.

Dude, "More Than a Feeling" KICKS FUCKING 800-POUND CRANKED-OUT GORILLA ASS!!!!!

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 16:50 (nineteen years ago) link

what's the other song, uh um uh um It's been such a long time or whatever, the intro to that song is like some kind of epic something or shit.

Not even dissing Boston is rad but I have to admit when I'm blasting it I feel like I should be wearing some dazy dukes, washing my trans am and a mullet or something.

Bohemian Rhapsody owns this... at least the "singing in the car like a retard" part.

― JP Almeida (JP Almeida), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 16:56 (nineteen years ago) link

For real.
I think queens greatest hits as a whole owns this, especially the Flash gordon song.

― Brandon Biondo (twinkiebots), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 16:57 (nineteen years ago) link

well I meant volume one, but now I don't remember if that song was on volume one.

― Brandon Biondo (twinkiebots), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 16:58 (nineteen years ago) link

Oh God, it was a devastating loss in the battle for reduction in retardedness-saturated noise pollution levels in Lexington, KY when I got the Flash Gordon soundtrack on TAPE and could listen to and sing along to it in the car.

Brandom OTM about "Under The Bridge". Great song (especially given it's by the Chili Peppers) but I can't help thinking that when it comes to "together we cry" lyric, that Kiedis has Down's Syndrome or something.

Mind you, this is where I stopped listening. The Chili Peppers may have easily sounded more retarded later.. (aside from their blatant Sublime/Jack Johnson rip off singles). Didn't the cost of one of their albums soar because he Kiedis couldn't nail the notes for weeks on the overdubs?

― PrintScreen/SysReq, Wednesday, 22 September 2004 17:02 (nineteen years ago) link

Weezer to thread. Great dumb pop, as in so dumb it's brilliant.

― Chris O., Wednesday, 22 September 2004 17:05 (nineteen years ago) link

not funny, he does have downs syndrome and a DOA shirt.

― Brandon Biondo (twinkiebots), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 17:07 (nineteen years ago) link

sometimes dumb pop is the best pop.

― Brandon Biondo (twinkiebots), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 17:07 (nineteen years ago) link

RHCP should just fire Kiedis and let Frusciante do the singing already for fuck's sake.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 17:15 (nineteen years ago) link

Pardon my fucked spelling but the guy that died Hillel slovak or whatever, he made a really cool solo album before he died.

― Brandon Biondo (twinkiebots), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 17:17 (nineteen years ago) link

didn't he?

― Brandon Biondo (twinkiebots), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 17:17 (nineteen years ago) link

or was it Frusciante? I remember my friend let me hear some really fucked up songs by one of those guys.

― Brandon Biondo (twinkiebots), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 17:17 (nineteen years ago) link

It was Frusciante. His first two solo albums are fucked up beyond belief. And somehow gorgeous at the same time.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 17:18 (nineteen years ago) link

I think I actually really liked it
I'm gonna have to look that up, do you know what they are called?

― Brandon Biondo (twinkiebots), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 17:19 (nineteen years ago) link

frusciante made a great solo album when he was about to die from heroin. it included one of my favorite song titles ever - "your pussy's glued to a building on fire"
ever since he got off the junk his solo efforts have been horrible.

― Felonious Drunk (Felcher), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 17:20 (nineteen years ago) link

I remember that song.

Brandon Biondo, are you saying that Queen is retarded?

Let's see...retarded songs by retarded bands that are really good but make me feel retarded for actually liking them and singing in my car like a retard...
I don't have a car, but whatever.
I'd say some of the crappy music my foster mother's 23-year-old daughter would play while we were going somewhere in her car. Like Ashlee Simpson and Christina Aguilera. Those aren't bands, I know.
Other than that...I can't think of nothin' else right now.

Andrew WK is this thread. Or Weezer.

FEEL LIKE MAKIN' LOVE (Duh-nuh DUUHHHH Duh-nuh DUHHHHH Duh-nuh DUHHHH etc.)

Definitely a retarded song - rhymes love with love.

― hurting, Thursday, 23 September 2004 05:08 (nineteen years ago) link

First off, I cannot help it! This song has everything! Generic metal guitar, echoing vocals, extensive fadeout with the chorus repeated over and over....

(snarling guitar opens and and Gear! throws his devil fingers in the air!)

In the still of the night
I hear the wolf howl, honey
Sniffing around your door
In the still of the night
I feel my heart beating heavy
Telling me I gotta have more

(more guitar! Pop-metal, thy name is WHITESNAKE!)

In the shadow of night
I see the full moon rise
Telling me what's in store
My heart start aching
My body start a shaking
And I can't take no more
No, no, no

Now I just wanna get close to you
An' taste your love so sweet
And I just wanna make love to you
Feel your body heat

In the still of the night
(staccato guitar and drum bursts!!)
In the still of the night
Over here baby

In the heat of the day
I hang my head down low
And hide my face from the sun
Through the light of the day
Until the evening time
I'm waiting for the night to c-c-come (C-C-Coverdale!!)
Ooh, baby

In the still of the night
In the cool moonlight
I feel heart is aching
In the still of the niiiiii-iiight.... (vocals fading out! Coverdale drifts off into space, untethered from love!)

Ooh, baby
Ooh, babe (what you gonna say? tell her, David!)
I can't keep away
I need to be closer
Can't keep away
Can't keep away
Can't keep away (testify!)
I can't keep away, no
You gotta give me love
Gotta give me some lovin' every day (that's right!)
Can't keep away, no

(Solo) (soloing in the classical style! with a little -ding- between the guitar work....a fucken metal grace note all up in your face!)

Ooh, baby
Ooh, lord
Ah!

(Solo) (back to the ROCK!)

Tell me here, baby

In the still of the night
I hear the wolf howl, honey
Sniffing around your door
In the still of the night
I feel my heart beating heavy
Telling me I gotta have more
Ooh
Mama

(you eased up for a sec there, DC, all vulnerable, but you still GOT THE ROCK!)

Now I just wanna get close to you
An' taste your love so sweet
And I just wanna make love to you
Feel your body heat

In the still of the night
Ooh, yeah
In the still the night
I will be sniff 'round your door
In the still of the night
In the still of the night
Ain't nothin' gonna stop me now
Still of the night
Still of the night
Still of the night
(again!)
Still of the night
Still of the night
Still of the night
(getting heavy now!)
Still of the night
Still of the night
Still of the night
(beginning to fade!)
Still of the night
Still of the night
Still of the night
(thanks David!)
Still of the night
Still of the night
Still of the night

and then he was gone...

I never said queen was retarded, but I do get retarded listening to queen.

― Brandon Biondo (twinkiebots), Thursday, 23 September 2004 17:24 (nineteen years ago) link

I believe the pc term is "developmentally disabled". No one gets that way by listening to music, and in any case I do believe you have overused the word 'retarded' here.

― Bimble (bimble), Thursday, 23 September 2004 18:27 (nineteen years ago) link

Why can't we say "retarded"?

― Nowell, Thursday, 23 September 2004 18:29 (nineteen years ago) link

whatever.

Where has being politically correct gotten anybody anywhere?

― Brandon Biondo (twinkiebots), Thursday, 23 September 2004 18:44 (nineteen years ago) link

When I hear ELO's "Don't Bring Me Down" I imagine myself transforming into Jeff Lynn Guy (big frizzy hair, beard, sunglasses, and all) and then I bop my head around like a coked-out freak. Let's just say that song makes me "socially disabled".

― darin, Thursday, 23 September 2004 19:18 (nineteen years ago) link

I don't know any songs that make me socially "disabled"...
Except for Avril Lavigne's "Sk8er Boi".
I remember dancing and singing along to it when I was stoned about two years ago.
