“seek and destroy” by metallica appears appropriate for today’s changing political environment...
Clearly, whoever voted for this has never heard the song “Big Balls” by AC/DC
Is this the old loft
With the paint peelin’ off it
By the chinese police where the dogs roll by?
Is this where they keep
The philostophers now,
With the rugs & the dust,
Where the books go to die?
Favorite part.
Never get tired of hearing it after these 40+ years (it originally was released on the "Escape" album by Journey in 1981).
I remember when I first heard it, I was in the Marine Corps, stationed at 29 Palms, CA and running my laundry in the Quonset hut barracks. It was about 120 degrees outside and at least 90 degrees inside, with the swamp coolers going full force. The Police were also big at that time and we were listening to their Zenyatta Mondatta album. Then somebody threw in that Journey cassette and pretty much every song on that album was magic. But "Don't Stop Believing", I knew that was going to be one of the greatest songs ever.
Obviously.
Wasn’t that “Don’t Stop Thinking About Tomorrow” by Fleetwood Mac? I could be remembering wrong, though.
One word: Sopranos
“You know, Tony, it’s a multiple-choice thing with you. ‘Cause I can’t tell if you’re old-fashioned, you’re paranoid, or just a f—king a—hole.” —Carmela Soprano
“Biggest”?
Vague metric, sophomoric ear-candy typical of the era.
..”born and raised in South Detroit”...one little problem, no such place as South Detroit.
For whom the bell tolls a close 2nd.
Thanks to The Sopranos.
Why does it hurt when I pee by Frank Zappa is better.
Bobby Brown Goes Down
LOL!
Nope, it’s called down River.
It went wrong for me when the Clinton’s appropriated it.
Based on what other TV shows have previously paid for music licensing, Sopranos producers likely paid anywhere from $25,000 to $100,000 for the right to use the song, netting a nice pay day for Sony BMG Music.
😉👍
