Top 10 Songs to Play When Old People Say "Back in My Days, Music and Lyrics Were Better"
Probably most of you have heard it in your real life - "back in my days, music and lyrics were better" (*sigh*).If you haven't heard it in your real life, you probably have read it on this site or somewhere else (if you have read enough comments).
OK, let's hear some "masterpieces" released before 1980.
Why their father forcing them to be musicians? These kids doesn't how to play their instruments. So, this is the outcome. It sounds like a rehearsal for the concert. Parents should not force their children to do anything that they don't want. Second, this song has nothing to do with philosophy and/or world.
A song released in 1969. Oh god... it's really awful. They just can't sing. I admit I pressed the stop button before the end of the song. You will forgive me if you hear it.
And the song title with the word "philosophy" in it sounds so out of place in this context...
Best song ever! Oh, sorry, 1st of april will be only 5 days later...
This is outsider music.
1956. Lyrics put all rappers and death metal bands to shame. Modern musicians don't know 4 different ways of cutting heads - 2 max. I have no space for the entire song but he carves the whole alphabet:
"I'm gonna cut your head four different ways;
That's long, short, deep and wide.
When I get a rhythm of this rusty black handle razor;
you're gonna be booked out for an ambulance ride;
Cause I'm gonna cut A, B, C, D on top of your head;
That's gonna be treating you nice like mama you ain't gonna be dead.
I'm gonna cut E, F, G right across your face;
H, I, J, K, that's where runnin' bound to take place;
Cut L, M, N cross both your arms;
You'll sell an' peddle gal your whole life long;
Cut N, O, P, Q that's gonna be trouble too;
Cause I'm gonna grab you mama and turn you every way but loose;
Cut R, S, T to hear you cry"
Most brutal song ever written
Haha, the lyrics I submitted are so explicit that it will take time to be reviewed. In the meantime just play the song sample. I am blushing... "I got somethin' between my legs that'll make a dead-man come".
Ahh, I see... there are too many birds surrounding her... but I still can hear that she isn't one of the songbirds.
Terrible song. Boring and annoying at the most. She sounds more like a witch than a songbird.
A song with violent, sexually explicit and gay lyrics (1950).
"Ever since Peter flew into town;
He's been havin' a ball;
Just cuttin' and choppin' for miles around;
Single women, married women, old maids and all.
…The police put Pete in jail;
Yes, he finally met his faith;
But when they came to pay his bail;
They found him choppin' up his cellmate."
1965. Haha, is this a song or a radio play? It's more like voice acting than singing (plus some special effects). I am sure you don't wanna miss this song - it's routinely considered one of the worst records of all time.
Plus the lyrics are really stupid.
A disco song released in 1979. Annoying because it's silly.
Terrible its trash
A song of 1948. I mean the original version of 1948 and not the version that appears on the sample here. Read my PS. comment.
It's probably the most monotonous song I have ever heard.
This gawd-awful monotony almost killed me within the first minute. And nothing changed by the end of the song - neither the annoying riff nor the repulsive thing supposed to be "singing". This guy wasted 3 whole minutes of my precious life. Actually 3:10 minutes!
Repetitiveness in some modern rap and pop songs comes very close to this but you see that modern monotony is based on a long tradition.
PS. The song sample is NOT the version of the song I am talking about. I mean the original version of 1948.
On youtube it is available as: John Lee Hooker Boogie Chillen original 1948 version (uploaded by SonoranDub).
And mostly people who like this say "metal isn't music"...
1932.
"Tell me you been gone all day, that you may make whoopee all night;
I'm gonna take my razor and cut your late hours;
You wouldn't think I'd be servin' you right.
I said, Undertaker been here and gone, I gave him your height and size;
You be making' whoopee with the Devil in Hell tomorrow night.
Baby, you done made me love you, now I got me for your slave;
From now you'll be making' whoopee, deep in your lonesome grave."
1968. It was number 5 in the UK, number 4 on the U.S Billboard pop singles chart, and was popular in Canada, too.
This song is about oral sex. Back in 1968 they had to disguise it, but most every teenager knew.
This is really interesting - oral sex and Kinder chocolate, LOL
Yes, Martin, this sounds very bad to me, too...
Another novelty favorite of Dr. Demento, and a Christmas song to boot.
1924.
"Now I could see blood runnin';
Through the streets;
Could be everyone;
Layin' dead right right at my feet. Give me gunpowder;
Give me dynamite;
Yes I'd wreck the city;
Wanna blow it up tonight.
I took my big Winchester;
Down off the shelf;
When I get through shootin';
There won't be nobody left.
The sad thing is it is not just older people there are so many younger users who say oh music was so much better back then...
The song title can also be written as Slap Her Down Again Paw, but anyway, this song is the worst 40s song I've ever heard. The title can already completely explain what the song is about.
Silly novelty song in '63? Hell yeah!
In 1959 alone there were at least 4 songs that made top 40 sexualising young kids. Uggh.
