American pie! that 6 1/2 minute bullshit suck my dick If I suck your piece of non musical bullshit!?!? the travesty/horror that sack of shit song has inflicted on young listeners to 'classic' rock and roll.... oh the horror! if I wanted to listen to a neo-cryptic song about rock.. gimmie 'smoke on the water' (atleast the bass line is a standard!).

Ibby · 10-07-2006, 06:14 AM

What the fuck? That made less sense than a beatles song.

American Pie is one of the BEST songs ever written, by far. End of fuckin' story.

And Smoke on the Water is about as cryptic as Dick and Jane. It's all fucking PLAIN AS DAY. They went to Montreux, Frank Zappa was at the best place around (the Casino, I think), some stupid with a flare gun burned it down, so they ended up at the Grand Hotel, and they recorded with the 'rolling truck stones thing'.

Dumbass.

I've found that Ibram has fairly insightful good taste in old music for a lad of his tender years.

JayMcGee · 10-08-2006, 06:48 PM

oh, I wasn't knocking his taste, elspode, just commenting on the relevence of 40 year old pop music to todays generation.

Re: American Pie and Don McClean.

He's from my hometown and he went to my junior high, though he was a decade and a half ahead of me. After he got all famous (and shit) he came back to his alma mater to play a few songs in the auditorium. (Also known as a large room full of 13, 14, 15 year olds.)

After playing a song or maybe two (I'm guessing 'Vincent' judging by the reaction from us. He pretty much went ballistic and read us the riot act for being snickering, tittering, grab-assing teens who didn't really give a flying fuck about Don McClean.

Ibram: and just to imagine what it was like to listen to radio in the 70s, listen to American pie ten times a day for six months then start a thread called "How fucking awesome American Pie Still is after I've heard it 1800 times"

Although I still get choked up when I listen to Vincent.

Ibby · 10-08-2006, 07:34 PM

Vincent > American Pie.

But I've heard American Pie almost as often as you lot have compared to how long I've been around to hear it, and I still love it. Hell, I knew that song before I was born.
(and I knew Rock and Roll Lullaby soon after... my mother is a total rock-and-roller)

footfootfoot · 10-08-2006, 08:00 PM

I'm serious Ibram, ten times a day for six months. It was a different world then. Nothing can withstand that kind of scrutiny. Not so much that the song sucked the way Cowhead describes, but that incessant airplay will ruin any song.

Flint · 10-08-2006, 08:06 PM

Solution: don't listen to FM. (While you're at it, don't watch TV either.)

wolf · 10-08-2006, 09:06 PM

When we were listening to American Pie 10 times a day on heavy rotation, we didn't have FM.

Well, we did, but nobody listened to it then. Them newfangled transistor radios only had the AM band.

Have I ever mentioned that American Pie is what I always sing to the kiddo to get him to go to sleep? (I know all the verses, so I get less bored singing it over and over again until he's passed out.) What's "Rock and Roll Lullaby?"

Elspode · 10-08-2006, 10:15 PM

BJ Thomas...great song.
