I apologize for suggesting earlier in the thread that "Open Letter to NYC" is anywhere close to this, btw.

i just stopped listening to it and i've already forgotten it. how you ever could remember it existed to make the list is astonishing. fuck the idea this is too obvious, too obvious would have been axel f.
― adorable cheese inscription (a hoy hoy), Tuesday, 8 December 2009 17:24 (sixteen years ago)
I suppose this means the Kidz Bop version of Crazy Frog's "Axel F" didn't make the list (ignore the video, or don't since it's a pretty accurate representation of the level of crazypants behind this cover).

It's just like GZA did with the names of record labels on Liquid Swords, except some of the record labels that GZA mentions actually put out good music once in a while.
Haha I am now trying to remember if I made this link at the time under my own steam or just stole it from someone else

btw the way most average country singers manipulate their voices for maximum emotional affect... most pop/r&b singers sound like The Edge singing "Numb" in comparison. Check the word "are" in the phrase "tall as you are" in the chorus.
― Shh! It's NOT Me!, Wednesday, 9 December 2009 01:11 (sixteen years ago)
Holy fuck that song is HILARIOUS!!!!

x post - thanks long story but i heard it hundreds of times over a short span of time involuntarily and it will never leave my memory
watching that video of "have you forgotten" has made me feel really, really bad. this is the first time i have ever been consumed with laughter while watching people die. i couldn't help it. popular country... man... NOT cool.

Recently minted as a radio staple, thanks to the Christmas format taking over the last two months of the year in much of the country because radio execs are completely uncreative / desperate / etc.
