This video/song combo just might be the perfect storm for my hatred. The sports themed video makes me want to smash my computer screen (I mean sports bloopers, really? Am I supposed to sit around and guffaw with my buddies while nodding my head knowingly to such moving lyrics as "Here comes Johnny singing oldies, goldies Be-Bop-A-Lula, Baby What I Say
Here comes Johnny singing I Gotta Woman Down in the tunnels, trying to make it pay")?
The cheesy pseudo carnival sound of the song makes me want to stomp kittens. A quick check on Wikipedia reveals "The song was nearly excluded from the album when the co-producer Neil Dorfsman voted against its inclusion, but the rest of the band out-voted him." You know what word shouldn't be in that sentence? NEARLY. And don't even get me started on that feeble red headband.
I remember when this would get played a lot back when I was in high school and I remember hating it then too. OK so I wouldn't even have ever thought about this mess ever again except someone in here is PLAYING IT, AAARGH! It makes me so angry!!






8 dirty hippies blowing your mind:
at 3:04 of the song...one of the band mates looks like corey haim
i fucking loathe the dire straits
I am relieved that you loathe them, we can remain friends.
oh, you mean i didn't get crossed off the list?
did you want to be?
just assumed i had been, all actions being not to the contrary
Stop that. By the way...are you guys up for some cottaging in the next month or so?
