Buffy ,'Lessons'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
Oh, that is awesome! I still like Item B best, but I have a Thing for chicks with guitars, and I've been told that I own too many shirts with skulls on and that I'm intimidating enough without them.
(Oh! You know what you should do? Ask Ryland if he a) hates Guy Ripley because he's never seen in the same place as him, or b) if they're secretly having a torrid affair and overcompensating by never being seen together.)
I'm betting b!
Definitely B.
but I have a Thing for chicks with guitars
I know, right? I think I actually like the design on the other one more, but I keep getting waylad by Chick With Guitar.
Also, ha! Maybe with a couple pints in me I'll ask. ::grin::
It took me so long to catch up I forgot what I wanted to say except that my favorite "fighting" song is "Come Out Ye Black and Tans" by The Fenians but that a lot of bands (including The Wolfe Tones and The Pogues) do a good version.
edit to say it wasn't written by The Fenians I just like their version. It dates back to the 1920s iirc
I remembered another thing: Somebody said they didn't really care for Fall Out Boy with the exception of "Sugar We're Going Down" and the other FOB tracks given as examples were (I think) all older songs. I wanted to say that "Sugar..." is from the album "From Under the Cork Tree" which I bought without knowing anything about FOB except that I couldn't get "Sugar..." out of my head and I was afraid that would be the only song on the disc I liked. Boy was I wrong. I still haven't checked out any of their older stuff but I can wholeheartedly recommend the entire FUCT record.

That was me, and, of the current FOB songs I've heard -- "Thx Fr Mmrs" (or however they spell that vowel-less title, which is LAME) and that heinous cover of "Beat It," which makes me want to retch -- I'm not feeling the love.
I think that "Sugar We're Going Down" is just an anomaly for me.
Oh, Tep! You didn't like "Bang the Doldrums"?! ::sobs::
The lyrics absolutely kill me, but the tune is hella catchy, too, with those drums. I'm thrilled you like "Sugar," though!
"Thx Fr Mmrs" (or however they spell that vowel-less title, which is LAME)
It's "Thnks Fr Th Mmrs", and they titled it that because their record label was bitching at them to shorten their notoriously long song titles. So they took out the vowels as a joke.
So yeah, it's lame on purpose.
My favorite is "Our Lawyer Made Us Change the Name of This Song".
