actually they don't mention superstraight and the jaxx is their own theory, think they're talking about the video version but i still don't hear it.

speaking of the new owners! that's almost certainly not the link you meant to post, but Junkee has been around less than a decade, so it's definitely not "their" theory.

ha ha, yes, ppl have definitely been picking Red Alert (1999) as a crossing sample since earlier than (checks notes)... yesterday

more hollow "ha ha" at a music publisher deleting two decades of user-generated content at the end of 2018 and then publishing clickbait that could have been better sourced using it, at the beginning of 2020

obv the ITM forums were nothing compared to the wiping of masses of original research and material on M&N, but it's a good thing that civilisation won't survive long enough for future historians to become frustrated

I lolled at "Every Butt You Taste."

And let us not even discuss Rimsky-Korsakov.

Songs in which being a "Nineties Baby" is a focal point:

Victoria Monét – "90's Babies"
Maren Morris - "80s Mercedes"
Icona Pop - "I Love It"
The Weeknd - "Girls Born in the 90's"
Jay Rick$ - "Born in the 90's"
FAVX - "Born in the 90's"
The Cassettes - "Born in the 90s"

(I've never heard of the last few, but they came up in a search of lyrix for one of the others)

Videos in which the singer's hair is cut onscreen:

("WARNING: This video may potentially trigger seizures for people with photosensitive epilepsy.")

remembered this from one viewing in 1992, but not well enough

I feel like there's an obvious one I'm forgetting -- where a singer's head is entirely shorn onscreen?

i want to say U2's "Numb" but it's not that

songs in which the drummer calls out "A B C D!" instead of "1 2 3 4!" :

A Love Bizarre

speaking of lost-and-recovered ITM content:

Doc Martin: When we got to Melbourne, I remember we were all walking around the city. And the crazy sound in Basement Jaxx’s ‘Red Alert’ comes from the stop lights in Melbourne. You know that little ‘dee-dee-dee-dee-dee’? They recorded it on a little recorder.

songs in which a lil' additional guitar lick accompanies a lyric that implies fucking in order to make it more explicitly about fucking

Drive-by Truckers, "Goddamn Lonely Love"
Bee Gees, "Mr. Natural"
(and surely loads more)

Songs That Ripoff “Pachelbel’s Canon”

Maroon 5 - “Memories”
Vitamin C - “Graduation (Friends Forever)”
Village People - “Go West”
Belle and Sebastian - “Get Me Away from Here, I’m Dying”
Spiritualized - “Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space”
The Farm - “All Together Now”
Aerosmith - “Cryin’”
2Pac - “Life Goes On”
Green Day - “Basket Case”
Big Star - “Blue Moon”

songs where nobody is eating ass or having their ass eaten

2584 Backfield In Motion :: Mel And Tim

SHIT!

Songs which have an intro which is an instrumental version of the song's chorus.

Reckon there are likely thousands of examples of this, but the one I was just thinking of is

Eddie & The Hot Rods - Do Anything You Wanna Do

The very next song Youtube sent me to has this same thing

Dr. Feelgood - Milk And Alcohol

Songs which don't care if you're black, white, yellow, purple, but are implicitly sexist:

Stevie Wonder, Black Man ('This world was made for all men', 21 red/yellow/black/white men and two women namechecked)
Robert Palmer, Every Kind of People ('Whether yellow, black or white/Each and every man's the same inside')

Caribbean-tinged Nigerian songs where the male singer has a female vocalist extolling said singer’s virtues in a chant as the chorus or hook:

Wizkid ft. Efya • Daddy Yo

Rema • Beamer (Bad Boys)

Adekunle Gold ft. Nailah Blackman • AG Baby

Does he come off as a dick? He may not care about that.

songs which have a SIMILAR title to the album title, but aren't exactly the same:

Cannibal Corpse - "Unleashing the Bloodthirsty" (Album: Bloodthirst)

Mercyful Fate - "The Oath" (Album: Don't Break the Oath)

Slayer - "Raining Blood" (Album: Reign in Blood)

Annihilator - "Alison Hell" (Album: Alice in Hell

Pearl Jam - "The Number That Comes After Nine" (Album: Ten)

Smashing Pumpkins - Adore (“Ava Adore”)

ahh yes good one!

Songs in which the singer misspells a word

songs which have a SIMILAR title to the album title, but aren't exactly the same:

Gram Parsons - 'Return of the Grievous Angel' (from Grievous Angel)

also

The Gosdin Brothers - 'The Sound of Goodbye' (from Sounds of Goodbye)
Simon & Garfunkel - 'The Sound of Silence' (from Sounds of Silence)
My Favorite - 'Absolute Zero' (from Love at Absolute Zero)

album titles that are cobbled together from the titles of two or more songs that appear on the album:

Velocity Girl - Gilded Stars and Zealous Heart ('Gilded Stars' & 'Zealous Heart')
Lycia - The Burning Circle and Then Dust ('The Burning Circle' & 'Dust Settles')
Mary Hopkin - Earth Song, Ocean Song ('Earth Song' & 'Ocean Song')

Simon & Garfunkel - 'The Sound of Silence' (from Sounds of Silence)

nvm, I'm an idiot and the song is actually called 'The Sounds of Silence'

songs where the "titular phrase" is slightly different from the title of the song:

L'Trimm - Cars With the Boom ("we like the cars, the cars that go boom")

Songs with a lyric that suggests/evokes the album title, without directly providing the source for it:

R.E.M., “Begin the Begin” (“Life's rich demand creates supply in the hand...”) (Album: Lifes Rich Pageant)

Bob Dylan, “Where Are You Tonight?” (“Her father would emphasize / You got to be more than street-wise....”) (Album: Street-Legal)

songs which have a SIMILAR title to the album title, but aren't exactly the same:

Thought of another one of these:

Unrest - “Imperial” (Album: Imperial f.f.r.r.)

and another:

Cyndi Lauper, “He’s So Unusual” (Album: She’s So Unusual)

Songs with a lyric that suggests/evokes the album title, without directly providing the source for it:

...and one more in this category (although it’s more “direct” than the other examples):

The Strokes, “Reptilia” (“The room is on fire, and she’s fixing her hair...”) (Album: Room on Fire)

another one of those "songs which have a SIMILAR title to the album title, but aren't exactly the same":

superchunk's "like a fool" from foolish

Sort of surprised not to see Insane Clown Posse itt

Juggalo Springfield

Songs about headaches (this thread inspired by my current migraine)

Dylan, "Pledging My Time"
Springsteen, "I'm on Fire" (At least, I'm going to interpret "a freight train running through the middle of my head" as a migraine)

Others?

boyz ii men, end of the road ('pain in my head oh i'd rather be dead')

frank black, headache

xpost wrong head

Songs with a lyric that suggests/evokes the album title, without directly providing the source for it:

I realized that Nirvana's 1991 album Nevermind (aka The 6th Greatest Album of All Time) contains of these songs -- namely, the lead single, "Smells Like Teen Spirit."

another one in that category:

replacements "answering machine" - "losing hope, never be together," in which paul westerberg's "never be" can easily be mis-heard as "let it be" (as i did, for years), which is both the album title and a pretty good response to the rest of the song.

Songs featuring answering machine messages:

Papa M - Crowd of One
Blind Melon - Letters from A Porcupine

Songs featuring abusive answering machine messages which are actually tracks from another artist, though the group seem not to be aware of this

Placebo – Evil Dildo

Songs whose title(s) were the title of the band's preceding album, rather than the album they appeared on:

Led Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy
Sleepyhead - Punk Rock City U.S.A.

xxp (answering machine messages)

Thurston Moore - Queen Bee and Her Pals

Btw - now I'm wondering if Sleepyhead did that as a deliberate nod to Zeppelin.

Elvis Costello sometimes had a habit of titling albums using a lyric inside a song that's not the title track (e.g. My Aim Is True), or a lyric from a different album, but he wasn't even remotely consistent about it

literal elvis example: "almost blue"
