Which is better, Hair Metal or Opera?

[Purple Stickpin]

I'd prefer Debbie Boone, thank you very much.

I like music that is good, whatever the genre.
and like assholes we all have our opinions....
or is that like opinions we all have assholes...
Well you know what I mean...

All right, sorry this may be applicable to another thread

Okay to reiterate:
I like music that is good, whatever the genre.:D

just sayin

Well, in your defense, that was their peak year. ;) I saw them twice back then (pre-Destroyer) and they were great.

Then, apparently overnight, they became animated sock puppets of some kind and completely lost me. Just in time for the Ramones record to come out. The timing was perfect.

Mmmm...animated sock puppets. Hott.

 

[strangegirl]

Okay i vote for the Animated sock puppets singing Hairmo Lyrics over the top of Opera arias.:D

 

[Purple Stickpin]

I'd pay good money for that. But even more for animated meat puppets in socks. Or sox. That gets off my rox.

But let us not forget that mjp has a new moniker: marionette fluffer. :D

(I do cherish the freedom my insanity to which I am relegated here; or something like that.)

Okay, I can see this is gonna take awhile to get you to even half-way cool. I'll start with something more your speed. :D

The Archies are all well and good, but wouldn't you rather listen to Bob Marley sing Sugar, Sugar?

Recorded late 1969, Marley on lead vocals, Bunny Wailer on harmony, Peter Tosh on harmony and guitar, and Rita Marley on harmony. This was the days before Get Up, Stand Up, One Love and Burn Down Babylon...you know. Things change.

That's funny, but actually kind of nice. With some soul.:D ;)

 

[ROC]

Yeah... that's kinda nice!

And I agree with strangegirl in that we all have opinions and are all assholes.

Or words to that effect.

Except, of course my opinions the correct one.

Okay, I can see this is gonna take awhile

I prefer Nitty's reworked version:

[mjp]

That's funny, but actually kind of nice. With some soul.:D ;)

And it has the added lyric in the backing vocals of "drip drop drip drop," which you could take a lot of different ways depending on how innocently (or not) you wan to interpret the song. ;)

But that can't compare with Bunny Wailer's lyric of the same era in a song called Tread Along; "You're like a stick of macaroni in bed."

I prefer Nitty's reworked version:

This just proves it. There is some basic ingredient that that song has that will be enduring for centuries. Yes, classic like Bach and Mozart.

I do understand how sugar sugar means something about sex or opiates.

That music was written by a guy that did jingles and it was written for a cartoon. Just think of all of the old cartoon music we all still enjoy. Old associations, you know. Maybe in a way like Jackson 5 music too.
