In case you didn't realize, most of the lyrics are just a long list of as many sexual innuendos as Gabriel can think of. Highlight: The wind-like instrumentation starting at 3:17.

should be number 1, but well done! an epic thread!!

Does anyone else think that the blurbs about each song sound like Patrick Bateman out of American Psycho?

Well done Liffey. Was surprised you didn't pull out the Toto.

If my champagne tasted like Coca Cola, I think I would definitely attempt to get a refund.

what if your champagne tasted like Cherry Cola? You know, like in that one Kinks song?

"The first single release of this song had to be censored slightly: not because of its controversial sexual content, but because of the mention of Coca-Cola on the original version. The BBC refused to play the single because of this trademarked commercial reference, and so it was re-recorded with the phrase cherry cola instead. Davies actually had to fly back to England from a tour in the US to overdub the master tape, then return to the US; this true story was widely used in the song's promotion on American AM radio."

Phoenix Down · 11-07-2007, 10:41 AM

heh, didn't know that. Fair enough. Thanks for the effort, much appreciated. I missed the rock, though. Too much cheesy 80s stuff for my tastes, but at least you didn't forget Bohemian Rhapsody.

One insists that "It's it!" and the other retorts with "What is it?!" to which the first group responds "It's it!" and so it goes.

worst song ever.

I'm so happy that I just downloaded Dancing Queen. Seriously.

Sarcastic Smile · 12-24-2007, 12:55 AM

Wow, you did that one post at a time.. .. feels zeitgeist release -esque, good job!

I will wait for the single post with all the songs on it.

lol the black chick cops the chorus from this on the last track on wu tang forever. it took me about a minute to place where the fuck i heard that before. god that a was a really awful minute.

also this song is fucking awful. this guy is clearly mentally ill, and you hopefully are not serious.

Gish08 · 12-24-2007, 09:02 PM

Awful. Even modern day Rolling Stone could come up with a better list.

If he really did make the list, with all the comments/sendspace links, it is perhaps the most dedicated netphorian post in a long time.
