Kaylee ,'Out Of Gas'
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.
I think I was mis-reading "taking the piss" as "making fun of", rather than "having fun with". Ah the internets....
This was my take, too.
I could be using it wrong; I always thought that "taking the piss" was the equivalent of "not taking what you're saying/doing seriously," with an element of poking fun at youself for the level on which your words/actions *could* be interpreted as DEADLY SERIOUS.
Also, isn't Teenagers awesome?
LOVE!!!
And House of Wolves?
Hell yes, it is!
Gerard is going to go as big and fabulous as he can. My guess is he'd consider "over the top" to be both a fair assessment and a compliment.
Some interview somewhere mentions some exchange along the lines of:
"Are we taking this too far?" "Yes. Can we take it further?"
I know that Pete Wentz actually did (Allegedly) take an overdose while listening to Jeff buckley's Hallelujah in a van and that is what the song is about....
Is it wrong of me to think that this is HILARIOUS?! (Knowing he survived obviously.) sheesh!
Steph, I would say that they're pretty sincere about TBP, but also self-aware enough to recognize it as totally over the top. The stage shows for it had fire and tickertape, for crying out loud.
So while their tongues were not near their cheeks, it doesn't have the self-importance that ALW crap does.
Is it wrong of me to think that this is HILARIOUS?! (Knowing he survived obviously.) sheesh!
OMG! I am so glad I am not the only one that laughs at this-- but only Pete Wentz would try to kill himself listening to the most overplayed TV montage song ever.
Likewise, the title of Seven Minutes in Heaven (Atavan Halen) CRACKS ME UP. I mean, come on! Brilliant!
The story about Wentz's overdose is true. He was battling depression, and playing fast and loose with his medications, and he took an overdose of Ativan while sitting in his sister's car in a Best Buy parking lot. Before he lost consciousness he called his manager, who called his mom, and they went and picked him up and took him to the hospital.
Pete really is Boy Tori, isn't he? Bless his boots.
Is it wrong of me to think that this is HILARIOUS?! (Knowing he survived obviously.) sheesh!
Pete Wentz seems to be equal parts narcissist, exhibitionist, dope, business mogul and lyrical savant. It's probably almost always reasonable to chuckle at him.
That cracks me up, too, Amy! Atavan Halen!
ETA-
The other thing that never fails to crack me up is the misheard lyric from Arms Race 'I'm a little man, and I'm also evil, also into cats, also into cats!' Every time I think about it, I laugh!
