GM's thread about nothing (22 Viewers)

I just received a very qualified lead. This woman and her husband are extremely wealthy and are very interested in our business opportunity. Of course, her first name is Shelby and thanks to this degenerate thread I will be struggling not to say "go home Shelby" on our first call.

 
We can all agree Train is an awful awful band right?
Unresolved conflict in our house whether Drops of Jupiter is the worst song ever or Deep Blue Something's "Breakfast at Tiffany's" is. But in any case, it's in the top two.
What's wrong with Breakfast At Tiffanys?
The song? Everything.

The movie? Nothing.

Actually having breakfast there? They don't serve food.
We both kinda liked it

 
She smokes a pack a day

no wait that's me

but anyway

we've got nothing in common

no common ground to start from

and we're falling apart

the first one is a contrived way of making an observation about some girl. there's no need to write the words "no wait that's me" intro a song unless you're making some kind of point. even if the point is to say she has a flaw... just kidding she's perfect, I'm the ####... it's still a cheesy easy to get there.

At least the second song connects with something. A failed relationship where both people know it's over.

 
Meet Virginia

I can't wait to

meet Virginia

yeaaaah

I said what about breakfast at Tiffanys

she said i think I remember the film

as I recall I think we both kind of liked it

and I said well that's one thing we've got

The first song reads like a Caruso meme. So you're telling me all about this girl who's so awesome (although you led of by telling us that you're a smoker and a liar) and you haven't even met her yet? what have you been droning on about then?

The second one is a poignant observation about remainder failure, how you look for things you can cling to to keep the relationship alive. Wait, didn't we like that movie? That's not a real foundation and he knows it. She barely even remembers what he's talking about. But he's keeping hope alive. She knows it's not going to work. We know is not going to work. But we've all had that break up where you didn't want to believe it was really over, and you find these obscure mementos that you cant quote let go of.

 
Can we throw Spin Doctors, Crash Test Dummies and Seven Mary Three into the discussion?
Aren't they all the same bar band?
I don't think so.

- Spin Doctors: dirty wanna be stoner hippies who played a maximum of 3 chords paired with awful, silly, repetitive lyrics. I'm 99% sure their concerts encouraged hackey-sacking and Zima.

- Crash Test Dummies: serious, topical, Canadian. And because the band was driven by a vocalist who sounded like Jame Gumb of Silence of the Lambs, the producers thought his soothing lyrics weren't quite enough to carry the day, so he insisted on implementing humming to end each stanza.

- Seven Mary Three: borderline tolerable with a hit called "Cumbersome", until mid-90s radio and MTV beat us over the head with it to the point we all begged for a follow-up to wash the other song away. Alas, they ran out of SAT words to write songs about and soon enough, we all turned our attention to Marcy's Playground, Local H and Days of the New, aka the original Creed.

This is an excellent summation.

Fairly certain I have a Local H tape in my garage somewhere.
