Playing the boys are back in town on a jukebox in a bar over and over again I guess.
My browser ended the article for me just as the author judged a song correctly for the first time
I found out I can access the local bar's TouchTones from my house and my work. So on random evenings, I'll queue a song list up starting with Photograph (my calling card), then do a list of bizarre songs (Surfin' Bird, it's Not Unusual, a 20+ minute Sufjan Stevens song, Babymetal, etc), then close it out with Photograph again.
I'm going to give the bartender a Pavlovian response to hearing Nickelback
Could you do a solid prank for this random internet stranger and queue up the following:
8 x one favorite slightly annoying song ('moves like jagger', or 'we built this city' would be my suggestion)
1 x Photograph (pause for the unison sigh of relief from the patrons)
1+ x the same slightly annoying song played in a row already.
I'll bring popcorn.
You could at least credit John Mulaney if you are going to steal his jokes.
Nobody cares ๐๐
Guess who just got back today? Them wild-eyed boys that had been away Haven't changed, had much to say But man, I still think them cats are crazy They were askin' if you were around How you was, where you could be found I told 'em you were livin' downtown Drivin' all the old men crazy
Ugh, those lyrics are even worse than I remembered!
What are you about? This isn't supposed to be poetry! I guess I'm biased, having lived in Ireland so long, but still.
Personal preference, I guess.
I'm a big fan of Bruce Springsteen, whose lyrics touch on similar themes but are better ๐คท
