Bad Music Haiku Friday
Yesterday, among many other things (and where else but the Razor can you find such articulate socialist v. capitalist shoot-outs?), we were discussing the relative merits of the Kinks vs. The Who. They're both good, so it was an excellent choice, but today let's look at the other side of the record.
There has been some truly horrendous music made. Some of it, in fact, is verrrry popular, too. So today's theme is bad music, which you can interpret either as music that is poorly played, mind-numbing, or just plain old annoying.
Here's mine:
Please go away, Zlad.
Don't wake up from your asleep,
Or, go bug Hoelscher.
Now it is your turn...

We're an American Band.
We'll come into your town.
We'll help you party down.
We're an American Band.
Does it get any worse than that?
Bob's Uncle Joe was
Afraid to cut the cake.
Let's go to Fire Lake.
Night they drove old
Dixie down. Night the Lights went
went out in Georgia.
Shannon is gone, She's
headed out to seeeeaaaaa. Billy
don't be a hero.
Anyone who thinks
there are worse songs than the ones
from the Seventies...
I would ask you to
spend Midnight at the Oasis
Sing your Camel to bed.
Or go ahead and
hate your neighbor. Hurt a friend. One tin soldier rides away.
I'd love to sing more,
but this Sweet City Woman
has never been to ME.
So I gotta go to bed.

Modern Country Music Haiku:
Fried chicken, daddy
Drinkin', baptizin', dancin',
BUCKY COVINGTON.
"Daddy let me drive"
(Vehicular Manslaughter),
Freakin' Alan J.
"Alcohol and Ass"
(Not kidding--that's a real song)
And then there's Miley...
Oh, and Rascall Flatts
All these songs sound the same, guys
Stop whining and leave
Willie and Dolly
Are rolling in their graves, and
They ain't even dead.

Dixie Down, you're saying was
a great song, I hope.
Scrotundo makes the
Razor! I've never been so
proud! Rocking Scruffys!
Someone left the cake
out in the rain. "Macarthur
Park" is the worst song.

Rebelling from the topic...
As the lone Kinks fan, I have to represent the more quintessentially British band...
Why not Come Dancing?
All day and all of the night,
You really got me.
Perhaps IPLAW
Feels some chagrin at the use,
Coke/Cola, Lola.

Have to Concede that
"Dixie Down" is no "The Night Chicago Died." Nah.
I wonder if "The Night the Lights Went out in Georgia" was the night all of you guys decided to apply for Law School. That song sure inspired me....
I think a lot of you owe Vicki Lawrence your careers.

OK Tyd - you take the prize today. Truly inspiring!

Tyd...great haikus!
But, that song only inspired me to upgrade my pistol. I ain't no "backwoods southern lawyer" either, though...not in the bad sense of that phrase. :D
Okay, enough rebellion, here is my bad music/Barbie tie-in haiku:
Please, please make it stop,
"You get the best of both worlds!"
I will kill that doll.

Prof. Osler, I must
Disagree with your listing
Of the band Hawkwind.
Worst music, aside
From Nickelback and Kate Bush
Is all of pop music
A guitar battle
With RRL would be epic
I'll be Satan.
(Eat your heart out, Charlie Daniels.)

I have an article due yesterday that I am still working on and don't have time to write Haiku
(nor to read it....but... you know...)
Anyhow, for the first time ever I am going to agree with Lane:
Hawkind totally rules!
Of course, I know from bitter personal experience that the Prof's taste in music is suspect.
There's this guy he and I both know who has much better taste. Anytime you go on road trip with the Prof., be sure to ask him to get CDs from that guy.

For range, words, talent
Yes, its the Who. For humor,
Catchiness, the Kinks.

Although I will concede that Behind Blue Eyes was pretty nice...I can't forgive them for Tommy. Sorry, guys.

Yeah we have a few guitars lying around.... Help yourself! Though some of them are charred....
The only reason I know all of these 70's songs is because one night when I was a YR about a hundred years ago we all sat around this one guy's house stuffing envelopes and we all tried to think of and sing every seventies song we could think of. It lasted for hours.
It was like a Bad Music Festival.

I can't believe it.
Unequivocal agree-
ment with RRL!
RE: "MacArthur Park"
As worst song ever;
Stupidest lyrics.

Ginger, I grew up
With backwoods Southern lawyers;
Partial to those words . . .
And not so backwoods:
Sam Ervin was from my town,
Morganton, NC.
