WLiiA Meme: Day 8

Day 8: Best Wayne Song


Okay, I know I'm saying like every single one is hard for me now, but this one really is because I don't watch a whole lot of Wayne singing, and most of my favourites aren't just Wayne, they're Wayne and Brad, usually.

The YMCA one comes to mind, though, where the thing accidentally gets sped up. That one was good.

OH! Or the...... Coffee Grinder I think it was? He had to do it like the Rocky Horror Picture Show. That's a classic.

I'm trying to think of some Greatest Hits, but all the good Greatest Hits were with two people. But the Blink 182 one for Songs of the Hitman (I believe that one was with Chip) or the famous Harley of Seville for Songs of the Motorcycle (that one was with Jeff)...... those are kind of fantastic.

OH! The Blues Brothers one with Brad - that's one of my favourites. (Video on this post)

OH OH! The one where Wayne had to do it as Prince - that was awesome.

Or anytime where Wayne has to be Michael Jackson.... good gracious. It's brilliant.

But right now, the Coffee Grinder is probably one of my favourites to hear/watch. I mean, I've never even seen the Rocky Horror Picture Show and am probably missing a million references, but it's just fun to watch and hear.

Peace out, Whosebuddies.

P.S H - O - R - W - A - R - D it's HOWARD! xD

Interpretive Dance/Singing!

My singing isn't the best here either, and I am NOT a dancer, me and my friends had a joke about interpretive dancing to this song and I just thought, ah, what the heck? So this is not a serious dancing video at all. Just so you know.

Also, I realize the singing in this video is not that great either. Again, just no comments, right?

P.S 3:39 That is not part of the dance, I hit myself in the eye with my ponytail.

I Think It Sounds Cool

Okay, this is NOT my best singing, and I realize this. In fact, this is pretty bad for my standards. So just no comments about how bad it is, 'kay? Also, this was made quite a few months ago, so again, just no comments, right?

It's Not That Important

Okay, I'm feeling a bit angry right now. Everyone is always trying to get me mad by singing songs they know I hate, like Katy Perry and Kesha. Then when I said I hated Kesha more, they said "Good job, Megan. That's a step in the right direction." As if by hating Katy Perry I was being unreasonable! As if it was against all human nature to have an honest and separate opinion! Gee, thanks a lot, Anna. Anna, just because I don't like the same kind of music as you doesn't mean you have to act like I have a disease or something!

The thing is, they also make fun of me. Like, "Oh, 80s music is so last year." And I'm like, uh yeah, it's 80s music. That's the idea. But still everyone tries to make me mad, and then laugh when I try not to kill them.

The other thing is, they think I'm mad when they sing the songs because I hate the song so much. And it's partly true. But the real reason I get so mad is because THEY'RE singing it. They're singing about making out and who knows what else, not even caring about what it means, and what makes me mad is that they're completely sucked in. So I try to make their life better so they don't end up ruining their lives because of the stupid messages in pop "music", and they laugh at me for my troubles. Well, thanks. Next time you want my help, just don't bother asking.

And sure, they like some of the music I like, but that's not the point. they still act like they know everything and I'm making the worst mistake of my life by listening to music that DOESN'T encourage me to throw myself at every guy who happens to pass by. Yes, you're completely right, Anna. Excuse me for listening to music with virtue. And rhythm. And real drums in the background. And solid melodies. And everything real music possesses.

Why does everyone love to hate me?

Peace out, Homers. (I'm obsessed with the Simpsons, so instead of homies, I'm calling you Homers).

Not Living a Teenage Dream

Kesha. Miley Cyrus (or Hannah Montana, depending on whether or not you're older than third grade). Who else is horrible? Lady Gaga. Katy Perry (oh Lord, Katy Perry). If you like these people, then you're obviously not one of the twenty percent of people (twenty five percent if we're lucky) that listen to lyrics. If you don't then for once stop "rocking out" to the bland transparent "beat" (notice the quotation marks - popular music these days have mostly no beat. Rhythm, whatever you want to call it, it's not there) and listen to the words. Just let me analyze a few overly popular songs that I have learned (it wasn't too hard) to despise. Okay. Kesha, Take it off (WARNING: THE FOLLOWING LYRICS ARE INTENDED FOR OLDER AUDIENCES. LISTENER DISCRETION IS ADVISED). "There's a place downtown, where the freaks all run around, in a hole in the wall it's a dirty free for all. Turn it on, take it off, take it off, everybody take it off. There's a place I know, if you're looking for a show, where they're so hard core, and there's litter on the floor. Turn it on, take it off, take it off, everybody take it off."

Want analysis? Thought you'd never ask.

Okay, first of all, there's a place downtown where the freaks all run around. Do you know what that MEANS??? It means that she's goes to a place where everyone is trying to make out with each other. "In a hole in the wall it's a dirty free for all." It's a small place (and the song's already so great! [not]) and they all run around trying to have sex (I'm sorry, but that's what it means). And now the best part of all: "take it off". I hope you know what she wants you to take off, but in case you don't, I'll tell you. Your pants. Your shirt. Anything stopping you from having sex. And that's right, this song was a hit. It was on the radios. LITTLE CHILDREN heard this "song" (notice the quotation marks) and you can imagine what the rest of this song was like.

Okay, next analysis. I don't even need to analyze a Miley Cyrus song, just look at her videos. Showing off her legs and butt and chest. How old is she? Seventeen? Sixteen? She dresses like a hoe (I meant the gardening tool! I swear I meant the tool!). And little girls are looking up to this chick? WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TO??????

Lady Gaga. Well, come on. It doesn't take a genius to figure out what Lady Gaga was talking about, but in case you have any doubt, just watch her music videos. If you want to see the most disgusting thing ever, watch "Telephone". But please don't, if you're younger than... oh, twenty five. And even then, make sure you feel disgusted. Now, children at the age of, maybe grade three, are singing Lady Gaga songs without the slightest hint of what it actually means. Come on, people. Are we telling children to have IT (the big it, not a little it, the big it) on all radio popular radio stations?

And finally, my favourite. Oh how I hate this one. Katy Perry. Lyrics analysis the second: Katy Perry, Teenage Dream.

"Let's go all the way tonight. No regrets, just love. We can dance until we die. You and I will be young forever."

Okay. In case you are not aware of what the first line means, I will tell you. She is saying that they should have sex. And this song is called Teenage Dream? Katy Perry is literally telling teenagers (ages thirteen to nineteen) that it's okay, respectable even, to have sex as a teen. I don't know about you, but that's just about the worst thing I have ever heard.

Line the second: "No regrets, just love." I think you'd regret it if you got pregnant at age seventeen, what about you? And sex does not equal love, it equals lust. Certainly, sometimes people love each other and do it. Married people, for example. But if you want to take care of yourself, please do not abuse your body by giving yourself away to whoever happens to have a cute haircut.

Line the fourth: "You and I will be young forever". I have just one question for you: If you want to stay young, why are you so eager to grow up?

I don't mean to sound preachy, so please don't think that. I'm just incredibly disgusted at what people are listening to and saying and idolizing these days. And I needed everyone to know. This sort of message is most commonly found in pop music, hence my loathing of it. That's right, I'm a rocker. The people of the rock genre have found a way to deliver meaningful messages while at the same time make it a head banging hit. Now, I'm not saying that all rock music is completely clean. But the genre in general is spotless compared to pop music.

Peace out, Megan

Just Discovered Billy Talent

It was a normal day, home alone. I was wearing an awesome T-shirt.

You can't see it because my camera reverses it, but it says "The Killers" which is an awesome band I love.

So I was listening to them on YouTube and singing along really loudly, when I remembered that other band that Anna showed me, and I remembered that I liked that song Anna showed me. So I typed in the band's name: Billy Talent. And I listened to a bunch of their songs, and I love them even MORE than the Killers! It's intense rock & roll, it's just like head banging rock man.

I'm actually listening to them as I type this.

If you don't know who Billy Talent is, find out! They're awesome man, just pure awesomeness. My new favourite band, I'm listening to them 24/7.

Unfortunately, my dad hates their guts for some reason. So I guess heavy rock isn't for everyone. But I love it!

Let's see...... Killers T-shirt....... Billy Talent. I guess that officially makes me a rocker chic, huh?
