there should be a "baby got back" lyrics poll

You people are such dumbasses sometimes.

"Footloose" and "9 to 5" are popular american idioms that people were saying before there was a movie and continue to say after. The lyrics in the song are about dancing or working While rapping about Jim West or being a galaxy defender with a memory eraser pen are linked to particular actions that occur in movies. Dolly Parton isn't singing about what an asshole Dabney Coleman is, but Will Smith is talking about battling Loveless and shit

gotta vote for "Can't Nobody Hold Me Down," which is by far the weak link of the '97 Bad Boy hit parade. even as far as poppy "The Message" beatjacks go Ice Cube did a better one just 4 years earlier.

I would just like to note that "Nightmare On My Street" was not actually an official tie-in with the Freddy Krueger enterprise, unlike Dokken's "Dream Warriors" and the Fat Boys "Are You Ready For Freddie?"

Ma$e's "Feel So Good" >>>>>> any Puff song from that period. Harlem World >>>> No Way Out.

back in time lyrics -

Tell me, doctor
Where are we going this time?
Is this the fifties?
Or nineteen-ninety-nine?

What the fuck is going on in this thread.

Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 3 August 2010 20:45 (fourteen years ago) link

unlike Dokken's "Dream Warriors"

I saw this video a few nights ago (thank you VH1 classic midnight programming!) and it is AWESOME. Especially the part where he breaks through a wall and plays a guitar made out of bones. also some fight with Freddy ensues. in a purely non-promotional tie-in way.

What the fuck is going on in this thread.

Whiney said something dumb then tried to call everyone else dumb when called on it, so basically business as usual

Well, there's a truck-drivin' legend in the South today
A man called Bandit from Atlanta, Ga.
Every gearjammer knows his name
They swear he's got asphalt a-runnin'in his veins

If the house is a rockin', then it probably ain't Dokken

worst Kenny Loggins movie theme deserves its own thread, especially since he's got, like, 700 of them.

You know what's fucked up, that Rihanna's "Disturbia" isn't actually about Disturbia.

da croupier, Tuesday, 3 August 2010 20:48 (fourteen years ago) link

anybody remember that godawful "Ghostbusters" song Run DMC did on the Ghostbusters II soundtrack? not to slight the almighty Run but it was cringeworthy

Arthur he does what he pleases.
Followed his life, his masters toys.
And deep in his heart,
He's just, he's just a boy

TOO HOT TO HANDLE TOO COLD TO HOLD THEY'RE CALLED THE GHOSTBUSTERS AND THEY'RE IN CONTROL...

This got a lot of local play, cuz Partners in Cryme sounded like a good second-rate freestyle act.

Gucci Mane hermeneuticist (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 3 August 2010 21:00 (fourteen years ago) link

like, I can even remember some anti-drug song ("ya gotta WALK STRAIGHT") the turtles touring troupe performed on Oprah or Sally Jessy Raphael or something and I can't remember this
