The whole smarmy light rock/smooth jazz/pop ballad thing really makes me feel violent and angry.

I saw Blue Man Group in Vegas last week. They were playing their wacky PVC instruments,missy wrote:Oh - and for a while - "Freebird" because some drunk idiot would yell that at every single concert no matter who was performing.
which are like xylophones made of 3" PVC pipes of various lengths, played with paddles.
They must have assumed some schmuck would yell out "Freebird", 'cause someone did, and
they could play it. I was impressed, as it seems like a challenging instrument...
That happened to you, too? I was 6 at the time. They had toDCrom wrote:let me nominate "It's a Small World After All". Being stuck in the middle of the Disney ride for a few hours with that tune repeating endlessly would send me far, far, around the bend.
evacuate the ride after an hour of failed attempts to get it going again.
That thing should have been banned by the Geneva Convention.
(Or at least by Fairport Convention.)

He jested, quaff'd and swore."
They cut me down and I leapt up high
I am the life that'll never, never die.
I'll live in you if you'll live in me -
I am the lord of the dance, said he!

It's not a particular song, but there are a very large number of singer-songwriters (okay, it's actually all of them) that just make me crazy. I can hardly bear to hear the word "singer-songwriter". In fact, it is best for me to leave the room if it turns out one of them is going to perform. They have started throwing them in at folk festivals for some reason. They are so whiney. It's me, me, me. Boohoo, boohoo, boohoo. If you have nothing to say, why write a song about it? If you can't write a tune, why put words to meaningless notes? I have had to run from concerts with my hand over my mouth to stifle my screams. I have threatened to throttle one using the same trite method one of the characters in his stupid song used. I have had to choke down hysterical laughter as one of these people sings something "meaningful", which has been sung a million times already, in the most musically monotonous way.
Okay, if your favorite performer is a singer-songwriter, obviously I'm not talking about that one.

There's and old Irish saying that says pretty much anything you want it to.

Well, no, I really can't. They are all so unmemorable (sp) that I can't remember a thing except how annoying they were.Scott wrote:Can you give us some specific examples, mon petit bulldog?
Unseen122, if they are wannabe folk singers that write their own songs, they would surely qualify.
Write a song. If it's any good some other singer will want to sing it. If it's really good, some other really good singer will want to sing it. In the old days you had your singers and you had your songwriters. Each excelled at his calling. Now, everyone does everything because it's how you feel that counts. If you are sincere, then it's good.
