100 reasons why "Chelsea Dagger" is the worst fucking song ever

Geir?

haha xpost

You know, Louis, it takes a certain something to both wear rose-colored glasses AND live in an ivory tower...

That said I do agree that the level of cynicism in the 00s bands we're talking about is off the scale, compratively speaking

i googled the lyrics to 'chelsea dagger' coz all i've got out of it is the annoying chant. i don't understand the lyrics though so that's cool.

Colchester fans to financially fucked Coventry the other week: "What's that coming over the hill? TEN POINT DEDUCTION, TEN POINT DEDUCTION!"

Why is it that you only ever engage with me in order to belittle me? I'd really be intrigued to know. I'd also be interested to hear an explanation for your post. WTF "ivory tower"?

see, not ivory:

HOLY FUCK MY ROOM IS IN THE CENTRE OF THAT PICTURE

SHIIIT

Any chance we could just stick to slagging off the Fratellis?

NOT WHEN I'VE BEEN SUCCESSFULLY STALKED

The great thing is that, Kevin Bacon style, all LJ zings are no more than two posts from logically stretching back to the Fratellis

This song is great.

A bit of controversy there...

Dom's through the looking glass, though. Knows what these songs mean in the context of the British class/sex wars. I accept that.

Harry Lime ARL (5:04:43 PM): passantino can be pretty funny, when he's not being a cunt
thom jesus west (5:05:08 PM): yeah, i mean, he's a twat, but he's getting pretty good at working with it. he's like our miccio
-- butts lmao (adelangsto...), January 27th, 2006.

24. probability of clicking randomly in the current time scrolly thing on youtube video and hearing du dur dur dur dur dur dur dur chorus roughly = 95%

I'm trying to find the goddamn best of lists on stylus since I realized I have no idea what music Dom has actually enjoyed since 2004.

haha i knooooow he wouldn't have repped for the Doctor's Advocate if he was from HERE.

I was reading WSC's "Half Decent Football Book" the other day, and one of the most interesting points in it was that how, in the past 30 years, probably the only song that has gone straight from the top 40 onto the football terraces is "Go West" by the Pet Shop Boys

Amarillo has managed it too, usually in relation to Arsene Wenger's sweet distribution methods. Rehab as well sometimes.

Surely Go West was sung at football matches before the PSB cover?

That's about it.

I think they're pretty good too.

I like the one Young Knives song I know.

Jesus Christ the Fratellis are a stale dogshit pannini tho.

haha i knooooow he wouldn't have repped for the Doctor's Advocate if he was from HERE.

I rep for The Doctor's Advocate and I'm from HERE. (Assuming HERE means America.)

It ain't where you're from, it's where you're at

...and I also like The Young Knives!

25. One Fratelli is called Mince, which is the worst nickname ever and choosing to be known by it makes him a twat.

26. The riff at the start sounds a lot like "Thy Damnation Slumbereth Not" by Half Man Half Biscuit, thus fooling me into perhaps thinking that the drudgery of the workplace Jo Whiley listening is going to be enlivened by "There's a bloke over there who says I can meet.... Ken Livingstone". And then it's this shower of shite.

oh that'd be nice.

Wouldn't it though?

Vampire Weekend are like the charm school Fratellis. There, I said it.

they wear blazers right? fuck em.

Much better produced.

Better rhythm section.

The Fratellis have confirmed they’ve split up after singer John Lawler posted a note on the band’s website.

"We have no plans to work together right now", he said.
He posted his comment on at exactly the same time as bandmate Barry spoke of his past successes with the trio.

Lawler continued "Sometimes things just work out that way. Mince, Baz and I are working on music but not with each other.

"Your passion is appreciated more than we will ever be able to say. We'll forever give our hearts and souls to music and to you guys who want to hear what we do."

Lawler is currently busying himself with Codeine Velvet Club while drummer Mince is playing with metal band Throne o’Diablo.

Fans paid tribute to the trio on their website with one posting "You guys changed my life. Thank you for the wonderful music, memories and everything else."

Many hits, all forgotten but one..

Friends of my ex played in a band with the drummer prior to The Fratellis and claimed he stole the riff for Creeping Up The Backstairs from one of their own dismal songs, which they continued to include in their set. Apparently it was a really sore subject for them.

LOL

1. "Halloween Blues"
2. "This Old Ghost Town"
3. "She's Not Gone Yet But She's Leaving"
4. "Seven Nights, Seven Days"
5. "Shotgun Shoes"
6. "Whisky Saga"
7. "This Is Not the End of the World"
8. "Jeannie Nitro"
9. "We Need Medicine"
10. "Rock 'n' Roll Will Break Your Heart"
11. "Until She Saves My Soul"

"Chelsea Dagger" has also been played over stadium sound systems before and after many football matches, and has frequently been played at other sporting events as well. League One side Yeovil Town play the song after a goal is scored at their stadium Huish Park. Since moving to the Juventus Stadium in 2011, Italian Serie A side Juventus F.C. does the same, as does Scottish First Division outfit Raith Rovers. English Championship side Nottingham Forest, who have reluctantly used it for quite sometime as many fans are opposed to the banal moronitude of the track, as well as Perth Glory in the Australian Hyundai A-League.

really transfixed by the Area Band mediocrity inherent to their song-titling approach

Little is known about Lawler's life before he joined the Fratellis. He attended St. Maurice's High School and went to college before dropping out within three hours. Before joining the Fratellis, he played in an Oasis and Blur cover band.

Oasis AND Blur? Fucking hell. Who is this crazy deviant.

Mencap i wd "finest" yr display name but i'm not dealing with 200 posts from outraged Americans

all part of the ongoing quest to find a joke with the smallest possible theoretical audience

big fan of twin cover bands and the bet-hedging therein - there's an Abba/Carpenters one that I see listings for quite often
