For anyone who has Sirius/XM satellite radio, a new station premiered in the last couple of days, Cinemagic, playing, as you might guess, all film scores. On the Sirius receivers it's channel 81-- not sure what it is on XM.
It's really nice.

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I thought it was a come-on and was DEEPLY offended in the way only a teenager can be.
The song that I always thought should offend the recipient (ok, aside from "Age Of Consent" and "She's Having My Baby") was Ronan Keating's "When You Say Nothing At All". Yeah, that's quality high-sucrose sap in the music, but it doesn't disguise the fact that he's basically telling his love interest to shut the hell up already.

Same with 'Til Tuesday's "Voices Carry". Nice melody, but the sentiment sucks.

Yeah, but you can't blame "When You Say Nothing At All" strictly on Ronan. It was originally sung by Keith Whitley and then, the most famous version, at least in the U.S., was sung by Alison Krauss on a tribute album to Whitley.
So the sentiment, while accurate, might well be in keeping with the finest traditions of country music.

Well, yeah, but in Voices Carry the sentiment is *supposed* to suck.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Ann, that's a ferret.
The sentiment in "Voices Carry" sucks because it's from the POV of the one told to shut up. As the video brings out very, very well, which is why I see it as a "fighting back" song.
