INT. RECORDING STUDIO – DAY
The PRODUCER sits at the soundboard, holding his head in his hands. A muffled noise is heard and the PRODUCER pulls a device out of his pocket.
CELLPHONE RINGTONE: [Andy Samberg’s voice taken as a sample from the Lonely Island Song “I Threw it on the Ground”]…HOLLYWOOD PHONY…HOLLYWOOD PHONY…HOLLYWOOD PHONY…
PRODUCER: [answers phone] Mr. Morris?
— [cellphone flies open] —
RIKKI-TIKKI-DEADLY: [sounding annoyed] No, it’s Rikki. Hey, so what’s the deal? We were supposed to be live an hour ago and it’s been nothing but advertisements the whole time.
PRODUCER: I thought you’d be happy. It’s pure revenue.
RIKKI-TIKKI-DEADLY: I mean I am, a little, but there’s only so much that our listeners will put up with before they change the station. Request Line is not The Howard Stern Show or…I don’t know, one of those conservative talk radio hosts that actually survived the COVID pandemic.
PRODUCER: But the guest didn’t show up.
RIKKI-TIKKI-DEADLY: Who was it supposed to be?
PRODUCER: Beats me, DJ 3000 normally handles that stuff.
RIKKI-TIKKI-DEADLY: Is he still stuck in that time loop?
PRODUCER: Very much so.
RIKKI-TIKKI-DEADLY: Ah, hell. Okay, throw something up there.
PRODUCER: Like that three-pointer that Julian Strawther hit to beat UCLA. Lucky sonofabitch.
RIKKI-TIKKI-DEADLY: Huh?
PRODUCER: Sorry, I was up late watching the games. It was a great shot, but I really hate Gonzaga.
RIKKI-TIKKI-DEADLY: Oh. Okay, well use that as a topic.
PRODUCER: Hating Gonzaga?
RIKKI-TIKKI-DEADLY: No, no, I was thinking “songs you like by bands you don’t.”
PRODUCER: Oh. Hey, that’s a pretty fun idea.
RIKKI-TIKKI-DEADLY: Well, that’s why I get paid the big bucks.
PRODUCER: Speaking of which, there was an issue with my last paycheck and…
RIKKI-TIKKI-DEADLY: [interrupts] Sorry buddy, got a meeting that’s about to start, we’ll talk later. Now get that show on the air! [hangs up]
PRODUCER: Let’s see…songs I like by bands I hate…songs I like by bands I hate…GOT IT!
I work for doordash occasionally to keep in weed money and today I was sent to the CVS to get?
I was sent to get somebody’s shitting medicine. Walking through the store looking for the diarrhea aisle, so fun, my life is truly blessed.

Yelled from inside, “Go away and leave me die!
After I completed the delivery I was sent for my next delivery to McDonalds, so you can see how one leads to the other.

Your copy and paste skills are next level. Story is great too.
This comment ran on and on confusedly, sort of like something that’s normally solid but is liquid instead.
Taj had diarrhea of the keyboard, poor baby. Weed will help with that!
I’d cut Bradley Cooper but then there’d be blood splashing on Gaga….

Hey, there’s so few to choose from.
Bear in mind that Peart died so that he couldn’t inflict upon the world another shitty album of self-indulgent crap.

Just kidding Mr. Ayo, you’re my favorite. Don’t tell the others.
OMG, I did it! I did it! I’m the favoUrite! Your secret is safe with me.
Spin Doctors weren’t around for very long and Two Princes was silly but “Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong” walks a tightrope between misogyny and a plain toxic relationship. And I love the guitarwork here.

I saw them live in 2002 or 03 at a little venue in Morganhole. They were really good.
It’s about his bitch step-mom.
She can suck it.

Well that’s what Alta Vista says anyway….
I think the problem was she didn’t actually suck it.

My next selection was going to be a Bob Dylan song, but just like Green Day, he’s put out nothing but duds.
Dude is from another time and the 60+’s admire him. This cover of Hard Rains Gonna Fall is such an amazing travesty. She doesn’t have the gravitas nor the singing chops to get anywhere near this tune but she tried.

I don’t ‘hate’ her but I’ve no use for her music because I’m old and she’s young. This tune is catchy as hell and addresses the morass that is social media which is the swamp that she has to swim in.

In ’87, Huey released this; Fore!, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is “Hip To Be Square”. A song so catchy, most people probably don’t listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it’s not just about the pleasures of conformity and the importance of trends. It’s also a personal statement about the band itself.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LB5YkmjalDg
If you’re saying you don’t like Huey, I’m going to have to crush your doppelganger at Hearts later as recompense.
Yes crush the Huey Hater

Didn’t know it was legal for a Gen Xer to hate REM
It’s not. I called the police an hour ago.
Who’s going to do the tWBS memorial contribution?
Haha, just kidding. Green Day never made a good song.
The Offspring seem like tWBS’ thing-hate them but like this tune.

If this doesn’t get one like before 17:00 [DFO] time, I’m taking down the Sexy Friday post scheduled for today.
You’ve all been warned. Or motivated. We’ll see.
Dammit, not this one. The Gone Away video post.
I saved Sexy Friday. Hero status achieved.
Thank you for your service. Sexy Friday is locked, loaded, and ready to go now.

Mr. Bovine Joanie himself seems to be a common denominator.
He was an anti-vaxxer before it was cool.
Fucking hate both Country and Western music but I’ve referenced a driving vacation way back in the day and one of the 8-tracks I had to listen to was “Charlie Pride’s Greatest Hits!” It was all garbage but “Crystal Chandelier” grew on me in a weird way. Fast forward 30 years later and I’m meeting my future wife’s dad for the first time (a very imposing man, 6’4″, 350 pounds) and he’s trying to get a bead on me and put me on the defensive at the same time.
So at one point he says, “I bet you’re one of those guys that doesn’t even like country music-do you even know who Charlie Pride is?” My immediate response was, [imitating his drawl] “The crystal chandeliers light up the paintings on your walls”. He laughed for two minutes straight and then wandered off somewhere. On the way home my future wife said, “You’re the first person I’ve ever dated that my dad likes”.

Don’t like any of Jay-z’s music but he was attached to this in some way so I’m posting the version where he doesn’t kill the tune by rapping thru it.

I’m off for a poker tournament. Great idea RTD. Could have stayed here another 2 hours pulling songs.
Good luck, and remember ace goes both ways.
Wear crazy sunglasses.
Mrs. Horatio said ‘Asia’ and then left the room.
Really hoping she meant the band.

Carrie Underwood sucks but this song is a banger
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaSy8yy-mr8
I went to a Carrie Underwood concert last week. Can confirm.
Were you kidnapped?
So much glitter. Highly recommended if you’re single.
And deaf maybe.
Are you deaf and single? Carrie Underwood may be playing near you.

Obligatory Hole story: I once helped the guitarist (blond guy on the right) move a washing machine that he was giving away. Nice enough fellow.
Balls has a bunch more hole stories.

Good song by a shitty and very over-rated band.
But the way he rhymed ‘fire’ with ‘fire’ in ‘Light My Fire” was sheer genius! But goddamn it, this has to be in every top ten of driving songs. Anyway, double shot.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHXjcdNIN-Q&ab_channel=TheDoors-Topic
My favoUrite driving story is being in the middle of nowhere Wyoming at night and the vehicle’s gas gauge at zero and then The End by The Doors started playing.
And then, at the very end of the song, a lone light appeared in the distance and it was a gas station. So basically, I was lied to that night by Jim.
To be fair, you were listening to the beginning of The End.
Did you see an Indian scattered on dawn’s highway, bleeding?
lol at one. There were many, in many various states of distress.

I need to bookmark this one for next week’s topic of Songs You Hate by Bands You Love.
Can’t say I hate hate the band, but most of their stuff is best enjoyed ironically, in strip clubs, or ironically while in a strip club. But I’m a sucker for the guitar crunch in this one.

I hate country music with a burning passion
Doesn’t show for me-what is it? (I also have a country entry)
There is no video, Post away.
Goddamn it. [feels very slight, fleeting shame because drunk]
Lukaku! What a header.
The classic of this draft genre. I don’t know anyone who likes the band, and I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like the song at least a little.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z92bmlcmyq0
Apparently not everyone can still rock in America. Fascist.
Not that song. Jesus.
Ordinarily I consider Journey songs to be a crime against humanity roughly the equivalent of genocide, but this one I will crank up every time.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fKOzeUBIMI
Journey went from overrated to underrated, maybe they’re properly rated now but they’re solid.
Settle down, Bill.

I didn’t follow her career closely enough to say I ‘hated’ her but then I heard her coprophagia-tastic cover of ‘Burning Down the House’ and, yeah. Anyway, this would have our dance number at the wedding had we not eloped.

Pretty sure everyone stops liking them once they stopped being stoned 24/7. Just the fucking worst.
I can’t stand jam bands, but I like these 2 dead songs.

Biggest crap band ever, take it away South Park
I really don’t care for just about everything ever recorded by Metallica, with the exception of this one song.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkfO8c8MlKU
Would have picked that one myself.
Everything up to and including Master of Puppets was fantastic.
I think I mostly just hate them because of what a bunch of self-indulgent twats they turned into.
Oh absolutely.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oRwlSIn918
Last one for me. This one is tough because I listen to a lot of bands and like most around the 50-50 to at least 25-75 level. Not many I’m one and dun with.
Yeah, it’s a tough topic because you don’t spend a lot of time thinking about bands that you don’t like, so songs you *do* like by them don’t easily come to mind.
great topic though, well done
Boy do they suck. Saw part of one of their live shows, left early to save my soul.

Cannot listen to anything else by these guys.
Well, I think we’ve got a double shot of sorts because I can only listen to Wonderful and I only like the second half of the song as it builds intensity.

When I thought of this topic I said to myself “are there any Lenny Kravitz songs that I can use?” and the answer as a resounding “NO.”
