Another Music Thread- Three Questions.

[Suzy]

It's time for another music thread! :P


1) Name one song (or artist whose music) that you loathe the most.

2) Your wedding song (or a song that's special to you & your partner).

3) Your favourite Abba song (admit it, you do have one :P).


Here are my answers...

1) Melissa Ethridge "Bring Me Some Water" (and anything else by her).
I'd love to... in the bucket loads, straight down her vocal chords. :lol:
And anything by Taylor Swift.
(...so I threw in two artists :P ).

2) Billy Joel "Just The Way You Are (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPiK_yGG8ag)" was my wedding song.

3) Honey Honey (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vg7ZsOFSV7c) :whistle: I am a huge Abba fan. :ashamed:

[koputai]

1) Name one song (or artist whose music) that you loathe the most.

Anything made after 1985. Also I absolutely hate the current crop of weird little voiced female 'singers', oh yeah, specifically I think Tracy Chapman and Madelaine Peyroux are attrocious! Gee, it sounds like I hate most stuff, but there's tons of stuff I really do like!

2) Your wedding song (or a song that's special to you & your partner).

Our wedding dance was to 'I Was Made For Lovin You' by KISS.

3) Your favourite Abba song (admit it, you do have one :P).

Umm, no I don't, but my wife LOVES 'Dancing Queen'

Cheers,
Jason.

[OICURMT]

WAY TOO MANY TO LIST... but here goes...



Barney the Purple Dinosaur's "I Love You" ... OMG I had to listen to this every day when my 2nd son fell head over heals for his TV show...
Charlie Horse & Lamb Chop's "The Song That Doesn't End" ... Holy!.............
Any and all songs that repeat the same lyrics over and over.
Any and all songs that repeat the same lyrics over and over..
Any and all songs that repeat the same lyrics over and over...
Any ABBA Song in English... :screwy:
oh... and any song that doesn't end... ;)



Bette Midler's "Wind Beneath My Wings" , because we rescued each other... (we are each other's "Hero")


"Estoy Soñando" because any ABBA song is better in Spanish! :P

[Octane]

1. Anything modern and made for commercial reasons, and, not for the music itself. But, really, the vote has to go to Starship's We Built This City. That has got to be the single greatest worst song of all time. In fact, if you do a Google search for worst song of all time, I'm sure that comes up; some guy even subjected himself to it for ten hours in a public booth.

2. Not married, but, if I ever did, it'd have to be Shawn Lane's The Way it Has to Be (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbAdy4Dk1y4). 1:46-2:26 (and, the rest of the song) say more than words ever could. Shawn left this world far, far too early.

3. None.

[Terry B]

Not sure of the proper name but the ?Bony M song Ra Ra Rasputin.
The most anoying song that gets stuck in your head.

We walked down the aisle to Trumpet Voluntary.

Mama Mia if I have to pick one at all.

[jjjnettie]

1) Name one song (or artist whose music) that you loathe the most.
I'm with H. We built this city is dreadful, as is abbas chiquitita
2) Your wedding song (or a song that's special to you & your partner).
I'm Moving Out by Billy Joel. LOL
3) Your favourite Abba song (admit it, you do have one ).
If I had to choose, Fernando because I like that scene in Muriels Wedding.

[Ric]

1) Anything by the Sex Pistols, my cats can sing better.

2) Legs & Sharp Dressed Man by ZZ Top

3) Waterloo

[cfranks]

In my case, I can't remember what it was but #1 & #2 are the same song.!! LOL

Charles

[supernova1965]

1: Rolf Harris -Stairway to Heaven

2: Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes -Love lifts us up where we belong

3: Fernando

[Suzy]

Dare I admit it, I really like that song. :ashamed:


I youtubed it, have to admit, was expecting words :lol:. Nice music all the same.;)



Again... :ashamed::ashamed:
Sometimes i just think I'm too honest in admitting things.:screwy::lol:


Why am I not surprised. :P
Probably another one on the playlist would have been Carole Bayer-Sager's "Your Moving Out Today?" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7z3FS71Tgzw) I still remember all of the words to that song, why I don't know. :shrug: :lol: So cheeky, I love it.



Okay, I have to admit, I really wasn't expecting that one for a wedding song, then I had a good giggle about it realising what fun that song must have been on the night! :lol:



:lol:



Crikey, he sang that? :eyepop:


Thanks for sticking it in my head. :P
I Don't know Trumpet Voluntary, I'll youtube it and take a look.:)



Oh.. that's so sweet! :D


:poke: :P


I seriously thought there would have been more Abba fans. :shrug::lol:
Your comments have been very entertaining and funny- thank you for contributing. ;):)

[michaellxv]

1. Anything RAP.
2. Led Zeppelin, Thankyou
3. Sorry Suzy, favourite is just the wrong word. None of them appear on my playlist.

[astroron]

Any Rap C***
Not married but " Hawiian Wedding" song by Elvis presley
Fernando
Cheers:thumbsup:

[supernova1965]

Suzy he didn't just sing he murdered it, it was sacrilege and a crime against humanity :sadeyes::sad::tasdevil:

[shelltree]

1) Name one song (or artist whose music) that you loathe the most.

The Offspring. I'm sorry but his voice sounds like a hacksaw crossed with a dying cat. I cannot stand it and the music style drives me insane.

2) Your wedding song (or a song that's special to you & your partner).

Probably something nice by Clint Mansell :)

3) Your favourite Abba song (admit it, you do have one :P).

Dancing Queen of course. Sheesh :P

[AdrianF]

1) Name one song (or artist whose music) that you loathe the most.
Dont have one.. :shrug: yet.

2) Your wedding song (or a song that's special to you & your partner).
The Wedding by Julie Rogers :sadeyes:

3) Your favourite Abba song (admit it, you do have one :P).
All of ABBA I am an ABBA tragic :D Used to have all of their albums, still have a lot on my iPod

Adrian

[Ric]

Our other favourite song is "Love in a Elevator" by Aerosmith.

I'll say no more otherwise the mods will close the thread.
:evil2::evil2::love2:

[Terry B]

I always presumed that that was the intention. It was the stupid poms that then made it a hit instead of the joke that it was suppose to be.

[M54]

1. Anything by Meatloaf.

2. Annie's Song. (Hey, it was 1975)

3. I like most of Abba's music. Honey, Honey is good.

[mishku]

Worst song I've ever heard, courtesy of H:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2xzWbRwOio

[Octane]

Mish,

You really shouldn't be posting videos of yourself trying to sing.

Flawless victory.

H

[mishku]

it was irresistable, h, fame is a cruel master.

m

[PCH]

I'm not sure that level of rudeness was what the OP had in mind with this theme actually Terry. Are you happy if we now follow your lead and we now start referring to stupid Aussies and stupid 'anyone elses'?

Duh :screwy:

[Waxing_Gibbous]

Oy vey!
Where to start.
1) ATM - Justin Beiber (any song).
Preceeded by - Mylie Cyrus (any song), Daddy Cyrus (ditto), Johnny Cougar, The Makaraina, Garth Brooks, "Total Eclipse of the Heart", Four non-Blondes, that Skater-Scum chick, "La Vida Loca", Harry Chapin, "Honey", etc. etc.

2) Our wedding song "Salmonberries" (I'd walk through the snow barefoot.) by KD Lang

3) Waterloo

[ngcles]

Hi Suzy & All,

Okay, I'll bite.

(1) Anything Culture Club (Boy George) ... wholly and completely appalling, devoid of any redeeming qualities. Much worse than Vogon poetry and then some. A few people have thus-far answered "anything rap" -- valid response save that I don't class rap as music at all in any sense. "Rap Music" is an oxymoron.

(2) Stairway to Heaven -- Led Zeppelin (not at the wedding of course but we do generally regard it as "our song"). Love the Rolf Harris version too.

(3) I don't mind a bit of Abba at all actually. For "pop-music" it was generally very well made and had much musical merit. There are quite a few I'm fond of but my favourite is "Take a chance on me". Catchy tune, lyrics are neither "deep" nor complex but somehow resonate with me. Rather unusual key for '70s pop-music too -- B maj(??).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-crgQGdpZR0&ob=av2e

and Agneta Faltskog winking at me in the clip is sublimely, utterly irresistable ...

It is amazing how much film clips that accompany popular music have changed compared to the stuff of the mid-'70s. Here, a wink or an intent, slightly open-mouthed gaze was pretty much as "racy" as it got.

With so many of the clips from the last several years, it's difficult to tell whether it is a singer they have taught to strip, or (as I suspect) a stripper who has taken a few singing lessons.

Gee don't I sound old ...


Best,

Les D

[FJA]

Ouch! :confused2:
Well, as a (hopefully not stupid!) pom, I thought it was bloody awful and I don't know anyone else who likes it either. :shrug:

As for the OP

1. Where do I start?! I can't stand anything by Dr. Hook.

2. I'm not married and am struggling to think of anything, not liking 'romantic' songs.

3. 'Gimme gimme gimme (A man after midnight)'.

[Terry B]

I wasn't meaning to be rude sorry. Just call me a bogan.

[PCH]

Thanks for the courtesy of a reply Terry. I accept your explanation with no hard feelings :thumbsup:

[Suzy]

Awwww... nicely sorted guys. :thumbsup:
I appreciate that it can get difficult at times with what we say and the way it comes out in text. ;)
Am so glad everyone's happy now, because for a moment there, Abba's "Mama Mia" was going thru my head, followed by SOS. :lol:

[Suzy]

I was trying to get that as a ringtone on my phone the other day. :lol:
I said, hey, what's going on , la la la la :whistle: Wouldn't I be just the most annoying person standing next to you when my phone rang. :rofl:

:lol::lol::lol:

I can't handle KD Lang's music... to me she always sounds like she needs to be put out of her misery.http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/../vbiis/images/smilies/questionicon.gif If I stood next to her whilst holding a bag of rotten tomatoes, I couldn't be held responsible for my actions.:help:



Oh boy, you should stay right clear of my place then when I have he Playstation Singstar with my voice belting out Karma Chameleon. It's the only song out of hundreds that I actually get singstar on. :rofl::rofl:




Not even "Walk Right In or Baby Makes Her Blue Jeans Talk?" :eyepop::lol:
Their greatest hits album has been my most played album for the last 10 years. :lol: .



Oh my goodness Mishku, I just saw the video and I have to say that your voice is certainly unique and one that only a mother could love. :help: :rofl:
(Am teasing of course, I know it's not really you. loved that clip, I even had it on facebook and on this forum a while back).;)

[Suzy]

I dare everyone to watch this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFacWGBJ_cs)(am surprised no one has mentioned this song). I will even pass you all a rotten egg to whop me with, if you can catch me of course (there's not much of me.. I hide easily :P).
hehehe, stuck in your head? :P :face:

[astroron]

I have watched it all the way through for the first time ever OMG :rolleyes:
I didn't put that down as I thought there would be so many more who would :screwy:
Yes it is going round in my head:mad2:
Thanks :thanx::mad2:
Cheers :thumbsup:

[GeoffW1]

OK

1: Joni Mitchell - 'Big Yellow Taxi'....the closing lines make me want to throw up

2: Not sure about Mrs W1, but for me, Henry Purcell's 'Trumpet Tune and Air' (it was my choice)

3: There's 2...'Chiquitita' and 'Does Your Mother Know' - jeez they were clever pop composers

Cheers

[michaellxv]

Fortunately I read the title and was able to close the window before the music started.

[Mariposa]

1) Name one song (or artist whose music) that you loathe the most.
I have a list, but just to mention one: YOu are beautiful by James Blunt, it is not the song, it's the voice of this singer, I just hate the way it sounds.

2) Your wedding song (or a song that's special to you & your partner).
Not my wedding song, but a special song when we had to separate for a while, living in opposite sides of the world, I felt identified with the song My Heart Will Go On, by Celine Dion.(yes that awful soundtrack of Titanic)

3) Your favourite Abba song (admit it, you do have one :P).
Chiquitita, Spanish version.

[PCH]

1) Don't mean to be rude, but all that weird stuff that 'H' likes just about has me spewin'. Sorry 'H' - no offence intended. My needs are clearly much less sophisticated than yours obviously.

2) Not at my wedding, but my favourite wedding tune would be Schubert's Ave Maria. For a tune with lyrics, The Wedding by Julie Rogers is a real beauty.

3) ABBA - I unashamedly love them all. I'm just a real pop fan and ABBA were the best of the bunch for me when they were around, - and I still like them now. They got a bit of a wrap on '60 minutes' some time ago where they spoke of the technical excellence of the ABBA technique and repertoire.... sang across about 15 octaves etc etc. Well, the technicalities were beyond me, but I got the general idea.

If I had to choose just one, difficult though it would be, I'd have to say Chiquitita - but only the Lithuanian version, nothing else comes close - lol

[Octane]

That's quite OK, Paul.

I live in my own little world. But, that's OK, because, they like me here. :P

I like complex, thought-provoking and challenging music. Not just in terms of composition, but, the more difficult the music is to play, the better. I prefer my musicians skilled, and, not just any run-of-the-mill 3-chord guitar hero. :P

But, here's a nice easy one for you: http://youtu.be/Q0JyuUzT_N0

H

[mishku]

In H's defense, I actually enjoy much of the music he suggests, as long as it does not involve Whitney Houston, tween-age children or annoying cats.

M

[Octane]

lol!

Cheers. :P

H

P.S. nyan cat (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QH2-TGUlwu4) rules.

[PCH]

H,

well thank you for that. I did actually listen to all 4.44 of that and, well, hey it wasn't bad at all - for a nice easy one. Well we are all different aren't we! I can't see it catching on with me though. My thoughts are obviously much more easily provoked !

I remember at high school back in pommieland when my mates were all into Jethro Tull, Sabbath and Deep Purple,.... I never dared reveal that I was more of a fan of Tom Jones, Slade and The Seekers :lol:

And Mishku, hey that's ok - no need to apologise :D Don't think I've heard H mention Whitney Houston though. Although she is pretty cool imho

[PCH]

OMG .... aaarghh! I take it all back. I didn't get past 11 secs before pining for Fernando - sorry !

[Steffen]

Oh look, another music thread! :D


1) Name one song (or artist whose music) that you loathe the most.

Tough choice, but I'll go with (almost all of) Simon and Garfunkel.

2) Your wedding song (or a song that's special to you & your partner).

"Come to Me" by Björk.

3) Your favourite Abba song (admit it, you do have one :P).

An impossible choice, so many hot picks. If pressed I'd go with "I Let the Music Speak".

Cheers
Steffen.

[Suzy]

Surprising isn't it? :P:lol:

I've never heard of that one :shrug: so I you-tubed it and hmmm.. I did not like :sadeyes:. First Abba song ever I think I didn't like.:shrug:


ALL the way thru? You sure do take a dare seriously. :screwy::lol:
Unless of course you actually liked it and you're not admitting it.:question::help:



You don't play fair. :P



Wasn't that classed as the most played song on radio and in turn also the most hated. :question::lol: And I think that's about the time when she took a really long holiday off the airwaves and started playing in Vegas becasue there was just "too much Celine around".:question: I like that song!:D Not surprising.:rolleyes:



H secretly really likes Abba's "Nina Pretty Ballerina" (http://abba%20nina%20pretty%20ballerina) & "Rock Me" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pc-dvf-C8Lk), he's just not admitting it here. :whistle:




Oops, I'm doing it again (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pc-dvf-C8Lk) one more time (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTyIlkNnwSs)...
guessing that rules out Britney Spears as well. :lol:

:face: sheeez did I have some fun with everyones quotes! :scared3:

[Grimmeister]

Hi Suzy,

As requested (as penance for my heart attack I caused in my post RE SEQ Rain http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=80302).

1) Name one song (or artist whose music) that you loathe the most.

Anything Lady GaGa :eek: I could write a novel as to why but lets leave it at that.

2) Your wedding song (or a song that's special to you & your partner).

pachelbel canon was our wedding song. Love it :)

3) Your favourite Abba song (admit it, you do have one :P).

hmmmm ABBA, so many choices but I think "the winner takes it all" was a classic I will never forget.

Cheers

Anthony

[Grimmeister]

Im sorry but just going back over this thread and now have to hang myself due to the You Tube video link by Misku:sadeyes::sad:

That is the worst youtube film I have ever and will ever see:help:

[ngcles]

Hi Anthony & All,



No, I'm sorry it isn't. Steel yourself before you dare to watch this clip:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6tBdovAgO0&feature=share

Up front warning: it gets stuck in your head too ...

... and thanks for the tip on this clip a couple of months back from jjj and Paul!


Best,

Les D

[Grimmeister]

Oh good god, please tell me during the coming months of clouds and rain that there is more for me than this? surely it can't get any worse????:sadeyes:

I have listened to too much and now I have that tune in my head, la la la laaa laaa laaa laaaaaa laaaaa.......:thanx:

[GeoffW1]

Yeah ! Fernando too ! I forgot that one :P

[Suzy]

Ahemmm *clear throat*
Now watch this version without the autotune :lol:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNm6l4FwABE&feature=related

Classic comment at the bottom of the video saying he's still better than Bieber. :rofl:

[Grimmeister]

Just got back from th bathroom, nearly pissed myself laughing, that was better than the original :rofl::thanx:

[astroron]

He sounds like he is reliving his baby talk, absolutly dreadful:screwy:
Cheers:thumbsup:

[mishku]

Trololo guy is one of my favourite things on the internet!!!

[Steffen]

I am shocked. SHOCKED! :eyepop:

I heard the song (along with the rest of the Visitors album) for the first time on New Years Eve 1981/82 on a bootlegged cassette that my dad had just sent me from Singapore, and it struck me as the most profound track Abba had yet done (and would ever do as it turned out). It is not a commercial pop hit for the top-10, that's for sure, but most of Abba's great songs aren't.

Cheers
Steffen.

[jjjnettie]

That's freaking awesome.
I didn't think the Trololol guy could get any better, but he did.
Definitely FB worthy.
Thanks Suzy. You're the best. :D

[jjjnettie]

Trololo guy 34years later.
With random people in the background including Darth Vader.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyOhcwXmbIs&feature=related

Watch it, because you're worth it.

[Suzy]

:lol::lol::lol: To both your last two posts Nettie.



Now watch this poor cat having to come to terms with Trololo guy...

No but seriously, I hope I am that fabulous in 34 years :thumbsup:
