The most buttrockin' song on Buddy Blue's list of the top 50 Butt Rock Anthems (search term: buttrock)

otoh, along with unperson, tracer, mookieproof, crut, and Neanderthal, I do view ums as having expertise in this butt-defining exercise.

oh and granny dainger

this discussion has definitely been very eye-opening

is the eye brown?

According to the reception theory, “Bohemian Rhapsody” would be butt rock!

anyway -- bohemian rhapsody is "music that buttrock audiences like" but is not buttrock

Springsteen does a live “Dancing in the Dark” that’s all guitars and no keebs, and that’s as close to butt rock as The Boss gets.

There’s a whole other world of Hot New Country songs that are really Hot New Butt Rock.

makes sense, there's usually a southern vibe

Like you have Butt Rock, then you have Butt Rock: The Next Generation -- which is that nickelback stuff, and then you have like, Butt Rock: Deep Space 9 which is country like "Boot Scootin' Boogie" and "Friends in Low Places" -- the latter of which might be a bit verbose to be butt, but there is a pervasive butt spirit to the song

Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy?

Styx, "Renegade"?

“Renegade” is kind of Broadway Butt Rock.

Is there indie butt rock? Or would that be a category error?

most butt is AOR butt

the indie negates the butt; there is definitely indie rock with butt inspirations, but it would require like, whatever the musical equivalent of those silicone implants are, in order to be buttrock.

the label heads are right up in there

lol xhuxk covered this in the last butt rock thread

Cock Rock is more about blatantly trying to get laid, while Butt Rock is more about partying and just having fun in general.

^co-sign

also with cock rock, the emphasis is often on not having to try very hard to get laid.

"music that buttrock audiences like" but is not buttrock

^important distinction

Like bohemian rhapsody is something they'd listen to when sober and tapping into their arty side. True butt rock is what they switch to when they're on their buddy's pontoon boat and on their 20th natty light

“Bohemian Rhapsody” is a suite with one Butt Rock movement (iii.).

On the indie side, The Hold Steady, like Springsteen and Mellencamp, nods to Butt Rock, just as their audiences do.

what about "Never Been Any Reason" by Head East

i'm actually testing this by going on the youtube pages of all these songs and just writing "butt rock" and seeing which one has the fans that get the most angry. those, my friend, are the butt rock songs.

Ask the angry fans if they subscribe to reception or auteur butt-rock theory.

they subscribe to pizzagate theory

Damn it, have to change my vote to Funk 49.

This listicle has this thread’s number.

buttrock is lumpen proletariat

cock rock is unbridled decadence

well said

I would argue that the artist's refusal to allow the song's use in a car commercial is a sign it is not butt rock. I guess ultimately I subscribe to the auteur theory of butt rock.

Also worth noting that J.Lo used the song in her Super Bowl performance (with the artist's permission) to call attention to the US's neglect of Puerto Rico. I can't see "Hot Blooded" being put to the same use.

"Cum On Feel The Noize" by Quiet Riot

I just read this as "Cum Feels Good On My Nose"

oh you did not

J.Lo used the song in her Super Bowl performance (with the artist's permission) to call attention to the US's neglect of Puerto Rico. I can't see "Hot Blooded" being put to the same use.

well, considering the lyrics to "Hot Blooded" seem totally irrelevant in that regard, I agree, I can't see it being put to the same use

I mean:

Well, I'm hot blooded, check it and see
I got a fever of a hundred and three
Come on baby, do you do more than dance?
I'm hot blooded, I'm hot blooded
You don't have to read my mind, to know what I have in mind
Honey you oughta know
Now you move so fine, let me lay it on the line
I wanna know what you're doin' after the show
Now it's up to you, we can make a secret rendezvous
Just me and you, I'll show you lovin' like you never knew
That's why, I'm hot blooded, check it and see
I feel a fever burning inside me
Come on baby, do you do more than dance?
I'm hot blooded, I'm hot blooded (I'm hot)
Now it's up to you, can we make a secret rendezvous? oh
Before we do, you have to get away from you…

significant elision at the end there lol

i mean, you can see it as opposite to illustrating the US relationship to Puerto Rico, as Hot Blooded is about wanting to be fucked, and the US has already seriously fucked Puerto Rico.

i thought it was about a guy hallucinating in his last hours before dying of influenza

i almost copied and pasted some of this buttrock theory into a facebook post about California labor law and taxes. I just wanted everyone to know this.

I'm kinda sad this didn't happen

Also, has no-one here ever heard of Status Quo?

Yeah, was just thinking 'Rain' is quintessential buttrock.
