Buffy ,'Showtime'
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.

New MCR single being premiered tomorrow on KROQ! Which means it will be a matter of hours after that before there is some sort of file of it floating around the bandom comms, and then the Official! Release! probably next week.
(Yes, I am going to be all MCR all the time for a bit. Deal. Or think of Pete, who has to deal with my flailing in person.)
The 50 Worst Rock Fails Of All Time
36. R.E.M.'s "Shiny Happy People"
It's rare that ONE SONG can definitively mark the point at which one of the dopest rock bands of its day went soft and sold the fuck out, so this track is almost valuable for its quantifiable levels of suck. It was their biggest hit to date, reaching No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, but "Shiny Happy People" is generally regarded as the band's worst (and most annoying) song.
I kinda' like that song.
19. Starship Builds A City On Schlock & Roll
We Built This City" topped Billboard's pop charts in November 1985, evidence of the judgment-impairing effects of using cocaine. It was sampled 18 years later by Harlem rap group the Diplomats for their song, "Built This City," evidence of the judgment-impairing effects of bragging about selling cocaine. Finally, in 2004, the editors of Blender magazine got it right, naming it the worst of song of all-time. And through it all, Marconi still plays the mamba.
OTOH, I hate "We Built This City" with the passion of something very passionate.
8. Mike Love Gives a Hateful Speech at 1988 Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony
In an acceptance speech ostensibly about the importance of harmony, and how he and his group "love all people," the Beach Boys' Mike Love suddenly veers left and attacks Paul McCartney and Diana Ross for not being in the room, and says that "Mick Jagger has always been chickenshit to get on the stage with the Beach Boys." Later that night, Bob Dylan starts his own by speech by saying, "I'd like to thank Mike Love for not mentioning me."
Heh. Did not know this.
4. Rolling Stones Hire Hells Angels to Provide Security at Altamont
Yeah, that could have gone better.
R.E.M. redeemed that song by remaking it for Sesame Street.
In my head, I sing it as "Whiny, Crappy People".
LISTENING RIGHT NOW
drop me a note if you haven't managed to do so and would like to
New song! bounces around
Wait, did I really just hear the lyric "lemme see your jazz hands"? OH, BOYS.
Gerard Way does INDEED not only say "jazz hands" but in an ordering fashion!
WE CAN ONLY ASSUME THE GESTURE AS WELL
Between this and the Weezer videos with Toro Tiggering around madly and Gerard's CrowdSurfFAIL I'm a fairly giddy human.
