Yes, agreed... it's not the entire song that annoys me, just the "whip my hair back and forth" part that never seems to be never-ending. I'd take listening to "Whip my Hair" over some of the rap that's popular today.

Did you see the Jimmy Fallon "Whip my Hair" spoof? Very humorous.
Just watched it. He's doing it as Neil Young. Not bad. And then Bruce Springsteen comes on. :smile:

By the way, you might want to be careful of phrases like "never seems to be never-ending" here at PF. You can be temporarily banned for that. Especially if Evo is on duty.

I didn't even notice that I made that sort of typo, opps! :eek:

I'm usually quite stern with my grammar. Thank you for letting me know about that! I just joined a little bit ago, so I'm still getting the gist of things.

Ok. I was just kidding about being banned for grammatical, phraseological, or typographical errors, by the way. Banning is usually the result of profanity, unduly speculative assertions, conspiracy theories, and statements against Israel. As long as you don't do any of that, then you should be ok. But of course it depends on which moderators are on duty and their current emotional disposition. :smile:

Now back to posting some really bad music.

I genuinely was a little squeamish for a minute! Thank you for clearing that up though! I did edit that post. I'm usually quite rigid with my grammar. However after grading 2 papers, my brain was beginning to lag.

I don't find any interest, nor speak or think about those at anytime therefore I think I will be okay. :smile:

My brain began to noticeably lag in the early 80's (wrt the date, not my age), and, as far as I can tell, hasn't caught up yet.

Yeah, those are really bad. At first I thought we might be dealing with anti-Star Trek bias (which, by the way, is not tolerated at PF), but on listening I would have to say that they're way down there. Yoko Ono level? No. But definitely annoying.

There's so much bad music that this thread could go on for ever and ever.

And probably will if Britney Spears, Ke$ha, or Justin Bieber keep trying to make music.

I am not really sure if these guys ever really meant for their music to be "good". This one always makes me laugh

Yeah, et al. The stuff is good in a certain sense I suppose. They're talented singers, but the stuff is just so formulaic ... ish. Maybe I'm just biased because I'm a musician and really don't like most vocal music. Some I do like. But it's got to be musically interesting as well as really well sung.
