That was great. Best thing I've read on Steem in a while. Doubt you'll see this with the 150+ comments, but adding you to my whopping 5c auto-vote list so you'll be averaging bank like TS in no time.
I like how industrial, rap, techno etc are now old people's music ...
Also not ashamed to admit I have recently been listening too ...
As the above list shows, pop music has actually come a long way IMO, it's becoming very eclectic. I also find it hilariously ironic that they remixed Mike's depressing ballad about the music industry chewing him up and spitting him out into a PLURRY ecstatic Ibiza tropical house banger
Thanks for the post!
PS for the record I came up on Sepultura and Slipknot, followed by industrial-tech like Ophidian and The Outside Agency, and in my later years dirty af Australian criminal rap like Tornts:
lol u changed ur name to BullEOS nice move hah yeah Pop music is now just Youtube and Youtube is all about the Video, the music is still important and youtube has music too its funny i dunno why peopel ever thought youtuibe wouldnt dominate with music as well, peopel like staying on one website lol youtube is amazing when u consider its vastness, u have every music video you coudl ever want on youtube and you cango through decades of music its actualy very very incredible like an Akashic Records, it's very inspiring, makes me proud to be a human in 2017 when i think of Youtube and smartphones, just the technology, and how they made trillions of dollars for people without even having bitcoin or crypto currency yet, hah, so imagine when crypto has a few decades like "the internet" did, oh man so mcuh stuff to think about
i wonder if any steemit users will try to use steemit earnings to create Music videos, would be great to see Dtube and Dsound.audio take off in popularty, amazing how far we have come since the 1980s
well there is no now without the 1980s...today is just the 1980s with stuff built on top....the 1980s were our economic peak, the 1990s have a higher stock market numbers but that doesnt measure how well the overall economy was doing....we have No idea what that was like....in the 1980s you could just find a Job anywhere, it was really different, everyone had a social safety net, you REALLY had to fuck up to be an outcast....you could always find work, people just gave out jobs and there was higher trust, probably closer to 1950s level trust than today, i mean the 1980s were only a few decades away from the 1950s....look at Robocop, look at the scene with the deaf gas station attendant studying calculus, that gas station and the roads the whole of detroit looked nice and high tech and man LCD and Lasers were all coming out, something about the way the 80s electronics were was just like here we are, the glory of technological achievement in this black Box, the CD rom and having digital Music, it is so cool, the birth of what we have now, it makes you cry, it is vaporwave, it really is special it's the birth of the new humanity and some people call it transhumanism but there's nothing evil about a smartphone and its spiritual predecessor the walkman and how in the 80s something like a smartphone was the dream that they all knew would eventually happen, but its really amazing the synthesizers the music for example it all changed the digital technology was early but music was one of those first things you could really do with digital machines, its crazy to look up the stuff they had in the 80s and how it was the first time that stuff had come out! It was really advanced for the time, that digital multimedia tech all started in the 80s and it evolved during many of our lifetimes, wow if you were born in the 80s you know how incredible it feels to get to have been grown up with all the amazing technological achievements that are at the center of the world even at 2017 computers and the internet dominate all....the internet is the singularity.....it's really cool that we all still use that word "the internet" although people dont have a need to talk about "the internet" as separate from the the "real" world" funny how they talk about "irl" or "in real life" as opposed to "the internet" which is the virtual world, but its just as real it still exists too! Its just insane how we are making this distinction between the internet and the real world when the internet IS the real world and the internet encroaches upon more of our lives, so we already live inside the internet, the wifi signals they reach all our cities all our human territories, the whole world is the internet, physical places have geotagged forums where you can leaves messages like FireChat or ZombieChat which let you leave messages at a GPS tagged spot so when you are physically somewhere you can leave virtual messages that other people can see if they come to that spot, it's really a great way to make the regular world more interesting, adding a virtual overlay, anyway it's an amazing world we now live in, we have already accomplished SO MUCH and we should step back and realize how much amazing art we can produce now god imagine all the psychedelic alex grey type music videos we will have, where people literally just try to visualize their DMT Visions lol it's like there is no end to how fancy you can make some video art, you can always keep adding geometry and maybe theyll even create some fractal algorythms to make some very nice patterns like psychedelic clothes that change shape, well anyway we shou;d just keep looking to fractals when it comes to the possibilities of what we can now make, i mean we never had the 3d programs we have now but now we can make some very cool looking stuff and you could spend an eterntity coming up with all the possible things you can make. So video games are the future so get your VR Goggles ASAP
Life is truly transformed with technology..and its getting better with the passage of time...am glad #steemit brings to our notice all the best things the world has to offer...always feeling your love @ackza ...thanks a million
I'm going to say what I feel about this type of video clips are making these young videos of everything but Christ, which is a primitive, meaningless, nothing in this life, and those who make these songs or clips is to deepen the ideas of nihilism and confusion and confusion will not win viewers of these wreaths but this
Awesome post!
I, too, am guilty of loving songs that make me happy despite their intended demographic.
Here's another one to add to your repertoire of shame if it's not already there 😂 🤜🤛
When Taylor Swift's Love Story Song was launched. I really fell in love with her, she was looking very beautiful in the white gown and the castle in which the song was shot was amazing. None can deny her beauty and the "fearless" album from her really was a big big hit and still its songs are in my mind.
Music they say is the food for human soul..it will always be...one good thing music does to me,l forget my worries especially when l listen to a good one...indeed life without music will be a complete mistake...but heres my words...lets be careful with what we listen.We all have ears to listen but should choose wisely and purposely what we listen to in that whatever gets into our ears has a great impact on our lifestyle...its always a great pleasure #steemit brings to us wonderful people with such great inspiration..your words are so great @ackza and such an awesome steemian to have..thanks for sharing these words too @hanshotfirst ...you guys are so amazing...steem on.upped
You go joe! If you like it I love it! Lol. I almost added that they could torture me with country... but I didn't want to offend. Look what you made me do!
Enjoy the Four Seasons, one of my favorite. This is just a plug.
Not my favorite C&W song, but I really like it. It's kind of mesmerizing, heartbreaking and encouraging all at the same time. It's one of those songs that, if you don't hear it all, you didn't hear it.
Bet you got a little misty over that one!
This one's sweet.
And, this... well, this one I sing to the little lady once in awhile. Don't judge me. ;)
You sound like my grandparents but for the most part this opinion seems right to me, I like listening old music as well, for example, this track - The Walker Brothers - The Shine Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore
I love the love story too @hanshotfirst. And lucky for me, I don't have to listen to her revenge/avenge/madness/or whatever it is ever again, cuz I am in a different country 😎, one with its own music, bwaa haa haa haa...😂
The song is terrible, Taylor Swift, is not. She is without a doubt, an amazingly talented woman. She has built a strong, sincere, seriously sensational brand (it took me way too long to build in that alliteration). Between her songs, her concerts, her clothing brand, her public image, and just about everything else she touches, she is a true role model and should be applauded for her successes.
So much of what she has built was effectively built ON HER OWN. Do people honestly realize how ridiculously difficult that must have been?
Anyway, I haven't, nor am I going to go out and buy any of her albums or clothing simply for this fact, but she is someone I admire. There are times when I wish she would "loosen up" a bit, but I'm not in her shoes of being a role model and holding myself to nearly as high of standards that she clearly holds herself to. Also, I don't have to deal with the paparazzi and media and constant second guessing and attention from the public.
Where was I going with this? Oh yeah, I agree with you. Tay Tay is A-OK in my book!
I agree with you 100%. I actually felt a little guilty ripping on this song so I added the charity piece at the end. She is a genius. She has shown musicians that they don't need to bow down to record companies. But I'm still confused why she released this one. If she ever comes out and says it was a joke I would give her a standing ovation for her comedic genius.
@hanshotfirst It's great to see that people are surprised why the biggest pop stars make such music videos. A lot of these videos can't be explained if you simply watch them and many, many of them are beyond creepy for a silly, mainstream, teenage pop song. Like Cyrus' Baby Talk video... Jesus Christ.
"She has shown musicians that they don't need to bow down to record companies." That's way too optimistic, sadly I don't believe they have much freedom. These stars wouldn't be successful anymore if they would truly go against the record companies.
Michael Jackson is probably the best example. We all know what happened to him. All the rumours, accusations and then the paranoia he faced for years and then died. His family members are convinced he was murdered.
I've seen this really often in the last 5-10 years. Musicians getting some hit piece against them or they disappear from magazines, etc. after they speak up against record companies or the industry. Or even forced to hospitals for psychic evaluations as it happened with Kanye.
Mainly we can see the bright side of being a famous musician but I wouldn't want to be in their place.
I love this. I think parents have a huge impact on their kids music taste and I believe music can change your life. Parents should always show their kids music from their time. Kids nowadays growing up with pop music that all sounds the same need to be cultured and understand the history of music!
Haha, yeah. Unfortunately I don't think she made it as a joke. Although, she has been known to poke fun at herself every now and again ... I just don't think this was one of those times.
And here Taylor might be thinking: FINALLY - people will think I'm more than just a pretty face and an aggressive force to be reckoned with, what a fresh new start as a proper, badass musician!
yes yes, good rant, well deserved, its ok to know the lyrics, none of us can hide. you do a brave thing revealing these secrets to the eternal gods of the blockchain and Im sure they will forgive you and reward you.
To tell you the truth, sometimes it is good to rant. And you be surprised to find out that that's the only was you can feel alright in some situations. Ranting heals in some situations.
After I read "Please don't actually watch this. I won't be held responsible for the 170 seconds you are about to waste." I did like most people do, I have watched it :)) This is such a trash, I was laughing so much :) You made my day , thank you :)
I have to say Taylor's new song is so horrible- and to add insult to injury the video is just a copy paste of other successful videos
1- Michael Jackson- Thriller: the gravy yard
2- Miley Cyrus- Can't be Tamed: the bird cage
3- Beyonce- Formations: All in black dancing in a line and just so happens to be the same back drop as the Mrs. Cartier CD
And the list goes on!
I think this is a publicity stunt- something to get her back in the spotlight and have people talking about her. It's a song with no substance, no catchy hook and no original ideas.
I wish I could get my 3.5 mins back from watching it!
I also love Tailor Swift @hanshotfirst If your musical taste is like a 15 year old girl, mine is 80's age or more than that Haha! I love Beethoven songs.
O how I love reading your posts and I must admit my guilty pleasures are the same as yours. And I love this song of TS. You have just such a wonderful way at looking at life. Thank you for the great post.
So you know that I recently took my daughter to a convention for the show Supernatural...what I'm about to link you will be a lot funnier if you've ever seen the show, even just a couple episodes. But, it has to be done. As I am finally making all of my posts about the fantastic time I had with my daughter and the really great cast of that show, I have Supernatural on the brain. And there just so happens to be an episode that relates to your hilarious post. Dean Winchester is the atypical male badass. He drives a badass muscle car he calls Baby and listens to badass classic rock and accepts no substitutes. But in this episode a witch turned him into a thirteen year old boy...anyway this is the ending after he's changed back, Enjoy!! (I know you will, everyone now knows you will hee hee):
I was a huge fan of the show for about the first 7 seasons. If I had more time I'd jump back in. The early seasons were so much fun... then it got serious but I hear it is fun again.
Actually the worst song I have heard from her...poor mediocre writing but she is Tay-Tay alright, she can get away with anything! Funny read as always! :)
Wait wait, did you just say your kids like listening to audio books, o my my you are really blessed to have them. I literally have to drum in advice upon advice to my folk to listen to stuff like audio books and motivational tapes. Great kids
ahhhhh - finialy could stop laughing and thus am able to type :-) Being a 1971 born as well with a teenage-daughter (16) and a nice (13) I feel you!!!! thanks so much! excellent writing! the phenomenon of not getting it the music+lyrics out of your head/ear again is called "Ohrwurm" in German.... having those, just like you, all the time these days.... I sometimes actually DO listen to classical music, just as sort of a remedy... Cheers from Germany! resteemed, upvoted and following you for more!
bawhaha, I could hear the yelling even here :-) If you care for more lessons concerning funny German words - I'm here lol When I lived in the States (class of 88 even got my diploma in Preston-Fountain-High-School, MN) I was amazed and amused with "Gesundheit" and "Kindergarten" being used - so maybe it's time for "Ohrwurm" to be introduced into every day language!!!!! :-) Herzliche Grüße aus dem Siebengebirge :-)
"That is the one that did it. I spit out the Dr. Pepper I was drinking through a Twizzler when I heard that one." That made me laugh out loud. ROTFLMAO. I hope at least it was a strawberry twizzler?
Of course it was strawberry. I'm not a savage! Lol! I swear every woman my age used a Twizzler as a straw when they were teenagers. Does it still happen?
I am going to have to say no to that, unfortunately. I know it's one of those things from the 80's that would be so cool, but no. My uncle (not a steemian yet, I am sad to say) is a twizzler holic, so when I read that part of your post, I knew exactly where you were coming from. I think it's actually getting harder to find twizzlers. Once and a while will see a large bag of the rope, not the twist, and we'll buy one every time. I personally think the rope has a better texture, but that's just me.
I love old music in 80s and 90s. I am now 25 but I dnt listen the current pop music because of the tone just like Taylor Swift's songs. I respect Taylor's fans but I agree with you her songs are like jingles.
The Santa section is very funny. I do not know much about Taylor Swift's songs but those lines are funny. I guess I have to listen to more of her songs but his time the ones that appeals my soul.
Brilliant!
I really had to listen hard the first few times to catch that she sampled Right Said Fred's "I'm too sexy", but now I can't unhear it. Every time the song comes on I replace the chorus words with the iconic 90s jam. I encourage you to try it!
While I am only vaguely familiar with "Tay Tay" 's song...I will not allow you to stand alone with loving a guilty pleasure of pop songs that one might be embarrassed for others to know about. I was just listening to "MMM Bop" this morning. :/ "Don't taze me bro"!! Although I won't lie, I was really listening (ahem maybe singing) to it whilst on my way to work. Another secret....I have New Kids on the Block on my ipod.
First time to actually hear this song of TS as I seldom listen to the radio these days. I like the music video, true that it seems to be her wilder version of herself and nice acting on that. :D
I'm not much of a music person. Yes I know it sounds weird, but that's how I grew up to be. I'm really forcing myself out of it. Though I enjoy aggressive music, and pop too.
@hanshotfirst, you are a ranting comedic genius:-) Loved your visuals too, you really have a knack of tying everything together! Never have figured out how the lyrics can be so insipid and the tunes so catchy...like they are written in different universes. Following you:-)
@hanshotfirst you are funny indeed, made me smile loudly. Will have to put on my analyse this cap. it seems however you have had a number of brain pickers at it already. lol :-) and trust me there are a few groups/singers I too don't want the world knowing that i love ashamedly.
This is too funny! I think it's safe to say 'TSwift' might never join this platform, but if she did, she wouldn't be mad at you for calling her out, but at her own record label for writing those 3rd grade lyrics! I don't know about everyone else, but I don't judge your taste. I mean I was a big fan of boy and girl bands, but I was 15 or so and a girl 😜
Haha I know what you mean I love my old tunes and while some of the newer music is awesome I can help but listen to some of the oldies from the 90 especially techno and rap Eminem alot lol, like yourself I probably wouldn't let people listen to my songs as I know I will get the whole crap about it being old... not a fan of this song from Taylor and the Disney one is terrible only watched for a few secs..hhaha I know you warned us @hanshotfirst lol.
I donnow @hanshotfirst, the song seems fair to me in comparison with some masterpieces of musical idiocy like rihanna's songs..maybe, not being an English mothertongue, I should just bless the possibility we have to cut off the lyrics (the "auanagana mode" on) as if we have a switch in our brain.
LMAO! This actually made me laugh more than i expected. You really went hard on Taylor there. I got the whole coming out a new Taylor bit from the video and i have to admit, the video does look kinda cool, but as you said as a parody. I never thought it was meant to be taken seriously until reading this and I understand completely why it would seem like a huge joke.
Just be chill and make songs about the men who break up with you Taylor, that's been working great so far.
That was great. Best thing I've read on Steem in a while. Doubt you'll see this with the 150+ comments, but adding you to my whopping 5c auto-vote list so you'll be averaging bank like TS in no time.
I like how industrial, rap, techno etc are now old people's music ...
Also not ashamed to admit I have recently been listening too ...
Pussycat Dolls - Buttons Ft. Snoop Dog (Hard to hate sexy)
Kiaara - Gold (OMFG that water dripping snare!)
Wafia - 83 Days (This is one of the ones you get strange looks for singing in the supermarket)
Tove Lo - Habits (Stay High) - Hippie Sabotage Remix (What a film clip ... duality of the party life ... so good, so bad)
Mike Posner - I Took a Pill in Ibiza (Original Mix) (see above: pills, parties, sex, success and depression)
As the above list shows, pop music has actually come a long way IMO, it's becoming very eclectic. I also find it hilariously ironic that they remixed Mike's depressing ballad about the music industry chewing him up and spitting him out into a PLURRY ecstatic Ibiza tropical house banger
Thanks for the post!
PS for the record I came up on Sepultura and Slipknot, followed by industrial-tech like Ophidian and The Outside Agency, and in my later years dirty af Australian criminal rap like Tornts:

LOL!
Your secret is safe with me...
Have another 😀
These videos will not get the person from behind but the sense of loss and inner emptiness stripped of any sense
Ya you can just admit it you like to shake it off.
When Taylor Swift's Love Story Song was launched. I really fell in love with her, she was looking very beautiful in the white gown and the castle in which the song was shot was amazing. None can deny her beauty and the "fearless" album from her really was a big big hit and still its songs are in my mind.
Katy Perry went to cannibalism tho; so train wrecks all over.
This is a lovely mashup of Blank Space and Style.

I knew that was Conway Twitty without clicking on it. What does that say about me? LOL!
Heh, says that at least you've been exposed to good music, so you don't have that excuse!
;-)
You sound like my grandparents but for the most part this opinion seems right to me, I like listening old music as well, for example, this track - The Walker Brothers - The Shine Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore

I recent to know this, WTF called. That is WHY THE FACE..
convince your 12 year old that she could start a new trend...and maybe you could bring back the 80's...
Yes that you can know about horror and laughter at the same time))))) to look from 0:44

kkkkkk
lol "netcoin" just sounds like some sort of scam lol
Yes!!!!
I saw a tweet that said, "It's hard to watch Taylor Swift act tough when she still looks like that girl in high school who is obsessed with horses."
You just inspired me to write a post about some Taylor Swift lyrics that have been bugging me for a while... Jesus, look what you made me do.
Perfect description!!! That is exactly what she looks like. Lol. Please share that link here when you write it!
Awesome post! It's funny how amazingly great the simple pleasures can be!
Thanks! I do try to have fun as much as I can.
Ooh, look what you made me do
Look what you made me do
Look what you just made me do
Look what you just made me...
I just can't stop singing this song! No matter how hard I try to sing a new one, I'll just end up singing the same lines from this song. 😅
I know! It is like she is a witch with some magical power!
Some Danny Cohn will help you get it out of your head!
Good one, I'm with yah.

You still have 7 days to edit it and no one will know your secret guilty pleasures :)
But I've got a hunch you WANT us to know...
It's part of my therapy.
Pretty little liars is an awesome tv show 😎
And here Taylor might be thinking: FINALLY - people will think I'm more than just a pretty face and an aggressive force to be reckoned with, what a fresh new start as a proper, badass musician!
Lol. She was already tough for being so independent. This just made her look silly. Hope she snaps out of it.
Well yes but she's always been so vanilla. And she's ironically become even more vanilla with this specific song.
yes yes, good rant, well deserved, its ok to know the lyrics, none of us can hide. you do a brave thing revealing these secrets to the eternal gods of the blockchain and Im sure they will forgive you and reward you.
thank you for your support. I need it. It's all part of the healing. ;)
Hello @hanshotfirst
To tell you the truth, sometimes it is good to rant. And you be surprised to find out that that's the only was you can feel alright in some situations. Ranting heals in some situations.
@eurogee
After I read "Please don't actually watch this. I won't be held responsible for the 170 seconds you are about to waste." I did like most people do, I have watched it :)) This is such a trash, I was laughing so much :) You made my day , thank you :)
Should I say I'm sorry or you're welcome? I'll go with both.
I have to say Taylor's new song is so horrible- and to add insult to injury the video is just a copy paste of other successful videos
1- Michael Jackson- Thriller: the gravy yard
2- Miley Cyrus- Can't be Tamed: the bird cage
3- Beyonce- Formations: All in black dancing in a line and just so happens to be the same back drop as the Mrs. Cartier CD
And the list goes on!
I think this is a publicity stunt- something to get her back in the spotlight and have people talking about her. It's a song with no substance, no catchy hook and no original ideas.
I wish I could get my 3.5 mins back from watching it!
I'm so sorry I made you suffer through it. lol.
I also love Tailor Swift @hanshotfirst If your musical taste is like a 15 year old girl, mine is 80's age or more than that Haha! I love Beethoven songs.
One among of the wise saying(s)- i.e. Proverb "Old is Gold!!!"
And in Russia they say: "silence is gold"
O how I love reading your posts and I must admit my guilty pleasures are the same as yours. And I love this song of TS. You have just such a wonderful way at looking at life. Thank you for the great post.
So you know that I recently took my daughter to a convention for the show Supernatural...what I'm about to link you will be a lot funnier if you've ever seen the show, even just a couple episodes. But, it has to be done. As I am finally making all of my posts about the fantastic time I had with my daughter and the really great cast of that show, I have Supernatural on the brain. And there just so happens to be an episode that relates to your hilarious post. Dean Winchester is the atypical male badass. He drives a badass muscle car he calls Baby and listens to badass classic rock and accepts no substitutes. But in this episode a witch turned him into a thirteen year old boy...anyway this is the ending after he's changed back, Enjoy!! (I know you will, everyone now knows you will hee hee):
I was a huge fan of the show for about the first 7 seasons. If I had more time I'd jump back in. The early seasons were so much fun... then it got serious but I hear it is fun again.
Actually the worst song I have heard from her...poor mediocre writing but she is Tay-Tay alright, she can get away with anything! Funny read as always! :)
I think she could burp in the microphone and it would sell. Lol
True! I hope she won't read your comment because she might do that in the future! Lol, Oops! Look what she made us do!
Wait wait, did you just say your kids like listening to audio books, o my my you are really blessed to have them. I literally have to drum in advice upon advice to my folk to listen to stuff like audio books and motivational tapes. Great kids
It's 100% from my wife. But thank you!
You welcome
ahhhhh - finialy could stop laughing and thus am able to type :-) Being a 1971 born as well with a teenage-daughter (16) and a nice (13) I feel you!!!! thanks so much! excellent writing! the phenomenon of not getting it the music+lyrics out of your head/ear again is called "Ohrwurm" in German.... having those, just like you, all the time these days.... I sometimes actually DO listen to classical music, just as sort of a remedy... Cheers from Germany! resteemed, upvoted and following you for more!
Whoooooo 1971!!!! I just hurt my back yelling.
"Ohrwurm" great word! Thanks for the lesson.
bawhaha, I could hear the yelling even here :-) If you care for more lessons concerning funny German words - I'm here lol When I lived in the States (class of 88 even got my diploma in Preston-Fountain-High-School, MN) I was amazed and amused with "Gesundheit" and "Kindergarten" being used - so maybe it's time for "Ohrwurm" to be introduced into every day language!!!!! :-) Herzliche Grüße aus dem Siebengebirge :-)
"That is the one that did it. I spit out the Dr. Pepper I was drinking through a Twizzler when I heard that one." That made me laugh out loud. ROTFLMAO. I hope at least it was a strawberry twizzler?
Of course it was strawberry. I'm not a savage! Lol! I swear every woman my age used a Twizzler as a straw when they were teenagers. Does it still happen?
I am going to have to say no to that, unfortunately. I know it's one of those things from the 80's that would be so cool, but no. My uncle (not a steemian yet, I am sad to say) is a twizzler holic, so when I read that part of your post, I knew exactly where you were coming from. I think it's actually getting harder to find twizzlers. Once and a while will see a large bag of the rope, not the twist, and we'll buy one every time. I personally think the rope has a better texture, but that's just me.
You are the best! I had no idea that this would get so deep into Twizzlers.
I love old music in 80s and 90s. I am now 25 but I dnt listen the current pop music because of the tone just like Taylor Swift's songs. I respect Taylor's fans but I agree with you her songs are like jingles.
The Santa section is very funny. I do not know much about Taylor Swift's songs but those lines are funny. I guess I have to listen to more of her songs but his time the ones that appeals my soul.
This was so hilarious! You had me with every word, start to finish.
Seriously, you're top 3 on my favs list. Since the beginning of time. You have left me no choice. I'm going to have to resteem this baby.
LOL. Thank you so much. I had a lot of fun writing this but wasn't sure how it would go over. Thanks for the encouragement.
Brilliant!
I really had to listen hard the first few times to catch that she sampled Right Said Fred's "I'm too sexy", but now I can't unhear it. Every time the song comes on I replace the chorus words with the iconic 90s jam. I encourage you to try it!
Oh yes! She actually gave him a writing credit on the song... not kidding. And that song is also comedic genius! One of my favorite from the 90s!
It was my dream to be in a boyband when I was like 15.
Why? Cause the Backstreet Boys, N Sync and Westlife seem to have it all! Travel the world. Make tons of money. Girls adoring you. Man!
Not a guilty pleasure. I admit it. My real dream even today hahahaha.
Can't blame you. Hope those kids got to keep some of the money. Lol
Lol yeah. Well Justin Timberlake definitely is doing well.
While I am only vaguely familiar with "Tay Tay" 's song...I will not allow you to stand alone with loving a guilty pleasure of pop songs that one might be embarrassed for others to know about. I was just listening to "MMM Bop" this morning. :/ "Don't taze me bro"!! Although I won't lie, I was really listening (ahem maybe singing) to it whilst on my way to work. Another secret....I have New Kids on the Block on my ipod.
Yes!!! We need to form a support group. No matter what our meetings will be filled with super upbeat songs!
Look at you made me do and look at her made you write about her:) like it!!!!
Hahahahahahaha 😂😂😂 the old Edu can't come to the phone right now because he's dead from laughter.
Ye gods this is some funny s**t, oh yes indeed
Lol. A moment of silence for our loss. Thank you very much. Can't wait to see the tougher edu!!!
First time to actually hear this song of TS as I seldom listen to the radio these days. I like the music video, true that it seems to be her wilder version of herself and nice acting on that. :D
I'm not much of a music person. Yes I know it sounds weird, but that's how I grew up to be. I'm really forcing myself out of it. Though I enjoy aggressive music, and pop too.
@hanshotfirst, you are a ranting comedic genius:-) Loved your visuals too, you really have a knack of tying everything together! Never have figured out how the lyrics can be so insipid and the tunes so catchy...like they are written in different universes. Following you:-)
Two completely different universes indeed! Thanks for the kind words.
You are welcome:-)
@hanshotfirst you are funny indeed, made me smile loudly. Will have to put on my analyse this cap. it seems however you have had a number of brain pickers at it already. lol :-) and trust me there are a few groups/singers I too don't want the world knowing that i love ashamedly.
This is too funny! I think it's safe to say 'TSwift' might never join this platform, but if she did, she wouldn't be mad at you for calling her out, but at her own record label for writing those 3rd grade lyrics! I don't know about everyone else, but I don't judge your taste. I mean I was a big fan of boy and girl bands, but I was 15 or so and a girl 😜
lol thanks for the support!
Not at all!
Haha I know what you mean I love my old tunes and while some of the newer music is awesome I can help but listen to some of the oldies from the 90 especially techno and rap Eminem alot lol, like yourself I probably wouldn't let people listen to my songs as I know I will get the whole crap about it being old... not a fan of this song from Taylor and the Disney one is terrible only watched for a few secs..hhaha I know you warned us @hanshotfirst lol.
That was hilarious! @hanshotfirst. Following you!
I donnow @hanshotfirst, the song seems fair to me in comparison with some masterpieces of musical idiocy like rihanna's songs..maybe, not being an English mothertongue, I should just bless the possibility we have to cut off the lyrics (the "auanagana mode" on) as if we have a switch in our brain.
LMAO! This actually made me laugh more than i expected. You really went hard on Taylor there. I got the whole coming out a new Taylor bit from the video and i have to admit, the video does look kinda cool, but as you said as a parody. I never thought it was meant to be taken seriously until reading this and I understand completely why it would seem like a huge joke.
Just be chill and make songs about the men who break up with you Taylor, that's been working great so far.
