lol @ "big like LeAnn Rimes"

Tipper Goregrind (crüt), Wednesday, 5 October 2011 15:47 (fourteen years ago)

voting for "Gotta get in tune with Sailor Moon cause that cartoon has got the boom anime babes that make me think the wrong thing"

Tipper Goregrind (crüt), Wednesday, 5 October 2011 15:49 (fourteen years ago)

lyrics sites always try to install trojans + they never really get 'em right anyway

frogbs, Wednesday, 5 October 2011 15:49 (fourteen years ago)

says the guy who didn't get it right

the boy with the gorn at his side (Edward III), Wednesday, 5 October 2011 15:50 (fourteen years ago)

alright Edward, why don't you make your own poll

frogbs, Wednesday, 5 October 2011 15:50 (fourteen years ago)

uhhhhhhIT'S BEEN

Tipper Goregrind (crüt), Wednesday, 5 October 2011 15:51 (fourteen years ago)

smoking man episodes are my least favourite genre of xfiles episode, voted that

Crackle Box, Wednesday, 5 October 2011 15:52 (fourteen years ago)

It has to be the Chinese chicken line but "Hot like wasabi when I bust rhymes, big like LeAnn Rimes" is pretty unforgivable too.

Kitchen Person, Wednesday, 5 October 2011 15:53 (fourteen years ago)

"Hey, Edward make your own poll," says the guy who didn't get it right.

YIIIIIIIITZ BEAN.

You people are supposed to be some kind of music culture intelligentsi (Phil D.), Wednesday, 5 October 2011 15:56 (fourteen years ago)

god and that horrible guitar tone that comes during the "Birchmount Stadium, Home of the Robbie" part
wooooouuuhhhhhhhhnnnnn

does anyone remember that awful white rap group "Bad Ronald"?

frogbs, Wednesday, 5 October 2011 16:02 (fourteen years ago)

The laughing at a funeral bit. Other lines are more cringeworthy, perhaps, but who the fuck actually does that?

jer.fairall, Wednesday, 5 October 2011 16:05 (fourteen years ago)

Gonna make a break and take a fake I'd like a stinkin achin shake

what the hell does this mean

the tax avocado (DJP), Wednesday, 5 October 2011 16:05 (fourteen years ago)

^^^^ a motif here

lumber up, limbaugh down (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 5 October 2011 16:07 (fourteen years ago)

I thought he sang "I'd like a Steak 'n' Shake."

yeah I think you might be right there

frogbs, Wednesday, 5 October 2011 16:09 (fourteen years ago)

but who the fuck actually does that?

I sure hope someone remembers to do this when one of BNL dies.

What does one wear to a summery execution? Linen? (Michael White), Wednesday, 5 October 2011 16:10 (fourteen years ago)

I don't like how he says, "can't understand what I mean? You soon will"...well, 12 years later, I still don't

frogbs, Wednesday, 5 October 2011 16:15 (fourteen years ago)

Is Chickity China the Chinese Chicken an actual thing?

ha ha ha ha jack my swag (boxedjoy), Wednesday, 5 October 2011 16:25 (fourteen years ago)

I'm scared to Google because there will invariably be results about this song which I would be depressed upon seeing.

ha ha ha ha jack my swag (boxedjoy), Wednesday, 5 October 2011 16:26 (fourteen years ago)

(Low, low whisper) I don't mind this. Gave it a 6.0 or 6.5 in Radio On way back when. (But their cover of "Lovers in a Dangerous Time" is better, also "If I Had a Million Dollars.)

clemenza, Wednesday, 5 October 2011 17:11 (fourteen years ago)

"Jane" is great, others too.

ste throkes (Ówen P.), Wednesday, 5 October 2011 17:18 (fourteen years ago)

Jane is great. And Jane & St Clair is right around the corner from my old apartment! Everytime I'd get to 'Jane' subway station and see the name on the wall, it'd get stuck in my head.

she started dancing to that (Finefinemusic), Wednesday, 5 October 2011 17:26 (fourteen years ago)

Nah, BNL in general isn't too bad. I remember digging Gordon even if the jokey stuff wore thin quick. Would be interesting to do a TS: Barenaked Ladies or Moxy Fruvous but I suspect the real answer is "neither"

witchho (zachlyon), Wednesday, 5 October 2011 17:37 (fourteen years ago)

Any sentence that starts "I'm the kind of guy who..." is sorta categorically the worst.

ንፁህ አበበ (nabisco), Wednesday, 5 October 2011 17:38 (fourteen years ago)

Like I think I speak for everyone ever when I say nobody wants to hear what kind of guy you are.

ንፁህ አበበ (nabisco), Wednesday, 5 October 2011 17:39 (fourteen years ago)

i just don't understand what asian cuisine has to do with this guy having a fight with his girlfriend

witchho (zachlyon), Wednesday, 5 October 2011 17:41 (fourteen years ago)

also this makes me want to make a "which line in sum 41's "fat lip" do you love the most" poll

witchho (zachlyon), Wednesday, 5 October 2011 17:42 (fourteen years ago)

cut my life into pieces, this is my last resort

frogbs, Wednesday, 5 October 2011 17:43 (fourteen years ago)

aww @ canadians rising in defence

mookieproof, Wednesday, 5 October 2011 17:43 (fourteen years ago)

voted chicken but "I like vanilla, it's the finest of the flavours" sums up this band pretty well

owenf, Wednesday, 5 October 2011 17:43 (fourteen years ago)

aww @ canadians rising in defence

We're fearsome once we band together.

I was really hoping I could find the "Lovers in a Dangerous Time" video to post, but no luck. It's one of my favourite videos ever, with a moment where it probably helps to be Canadian to understand: "Caaaaaarrrrrr!"

clemenza, Wednesday, 5 October 2011 17:47 (fourteen years ago)

Heard this shitty song for the first time in years JUST NOW on my lunch break.
You'd think I would get used to life imitating ILM.

Trip Maker, Wednesday, 5 October 2011 17:51 (fourteen years ago)

Going with "history of taking of my shirt" since imagining any of those turds going shirtless is profoundly disturbing.

doug watson, Wednesday, 5 October 2011 17:53 (fourteen years ago)

this entire song is completely terrible, a shitstain on our world's history

teledyldonix, Wednesday, 5 October 2011 17:55 (fourteen years ago)

Their cover of "Lovers in a Dangerous Time" was pretty good

I remember listening to that song in my room when I was 16 and my Mom walked in and told me, "Nick, you really need to turn those guys off"

frogbs, Wednesday, 5 October 2011 17:55 (fourteen years ago)

(I will cop to liking "It's All Been Done" if pushed hard enough.)

You people are supposed to be some kind of music culture intelligentsi (Phil D.), Wednesday, 5 October 2011 17:56 (fourteen years ago)

Mom otm xpost

Trip Maker, Wednesday, 5 October 2011 17:56 (fourteen years ago)

(I will cop to liking "It's All Been Done" if pushed hard enough.)

wuuuugh, I hear that one in the gym from time to time and all I can think is "fuuuuuuck"

the one really clever moment was that song "Too Little, Too Late" where they tried to create a song with the loudest handclaps on FM radio, I'd say they succeeded

frogbs, Wednesday, 5 October 2011 17:58 (fourteen years ago)

Sailor Moon is 14. 'Think the wrong thing' is otm.

dear god why did I google that song?

owenf, Wednesday, 5 October 2011 18:09 (fourteen years ago)

I have a history of taking off my shirt

imagining this as a Loutallica line

unorthodox economic revenge (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 5 October 2011 18:13 (fourteen years ago)

like Chickety China the chinese chicken is objectively the worst, no question there....

sad Mings of dynasty (Neanderthal), Friday, 23 June 2023 14:42 (two years ago)

if you hate the lyrics, man do I have a version for you!

frogbs, Thursday, 29 June 2023 19:39 (two years ago)

someone shared that in another thread a few years ago and I couldn't stop laughing for about a half hour after playing that

sad Mings of dynasty (Neanderthal), Thursday, 29 June 2023 19:40 (two years ago)

I don't know anyone who likes this song

I like it *ducks*

immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Thursday, 29 June 2023 19:43 (two years ago)

it's been... one post
