Don't even get me started. Some asswipe in Newfoundland gets all bent out of shape over the word "fag", and the standards board steps in and bans a 20+ year old song across the country. Even though the word was being made fun of. People's heads are rolling over this, and a ton of radio stations are ignoring it, and a few are even outright defying it by having "an hour of nothing but money for nothing" protests. Hell, I'd bet that Dire Straits has gotten a ton of sales out of this hype. The Standards Board has been stupid in that they haven't come out and said "wups, what were we thinking". They've been circling their wagons, and that will be their downfall. But make fun all you like... at least we don't have your patent office, RIAA, or MPAA, or DMCA. And our dollar is worth more than yours. So take off, eh.
I totally forgot about this song, and now I can't get it out of my head. Classic Bon and the Boys. Holy fuck, this riff never gets old or lets up.
SPOILER: THIS MAY BE THE GAYEST THING I HAVE EVER POSTED. And that's saying something. Anyway, I absolutely love this song. I've never seen the movie, nor will I. This performance is amazing. Her voice, which typically annoys me, is on full glorious display here. And I love the way she twists the words to suit her needs. Further, the vocal is at least double tracked with the second voice a fourth or fifth above the main vocal which lends it the power. Yes, I love hard rock, but this song always gets me.
I woke up this morning and was laying in bed and suddenly BANG! This song popped into my head. It has the distinction of not only being horrible but also quite possibly being the worst music video ever shot in the history of the media. I didn't even knew that I knew it. I figured I'd share the misery. You're welcome.
My friend introduced this song to me, and I found this electro remix online which makes the original 10x better. You don't think it will work...but it completely does.
