New "What Makes This Song Stink"

Post by Larry Mal » Sat Nov 13, 2021 10:34 am

Haven't watched it yet, but it's about Lenny Kravitz, who is the absolute pits. God I hate Lenny Kravitz a lot.

Like, remember the scarf? What kind of asshole.

You know, I actually liked the scarf. That's not just fashion, that's dedication to keeping cozy, and it's cool in my book.

The video is funny. I like the graphics/cut & paste style.

I am indifferent to Lenny Kravitz.

I'm genuinely disappointed that Fly Away won.

American Woman is a wretched cover of an already wretched song, just an absolutely abysmal stinking pile of slimy, green, rancid flesh, full of maggots but with a cheerful little pinwheel stuck in the top to make it seem festive.

It's worse than his entire first album put together, which is really saying something.

But the deadly accurate depiction of John Bohlinger and the wind that whistles through his empty head was pure gold, that guy's an absolute groanfest.

Not into this format. I found it almost as dull as watching actual football.

I'm also surprised/disappointed that Fly Away won. The song itself isn't great, but it's an average retrorock jam compared to taking an old classic and totally butchering it :D

"Fly Away" has the dumbest lyrics possible.

The real question here is: WHY IN THE NAME OF GOD WOULD I WASTE 49 MINUTES OF MY LIFE ON LENNY FUCKING KRAVITZ?

Because you've got to get away. You've got to fly away.

Yeah!

That is the crux of my issue about those videos. It's like he really wants to drag us into the world of suck with him to 'truly understand' the suffering; it's hard for me to get too excited about having to sit through 49 minutes of more reasons to dislike a song that I already dislike.

Here is a piece of dog shit. It stinks. I want you to really sniff it. Maybe step in it and get it in your shoes or on your pants to really, truly appreciate how much this is a piece of dog shit.

Well, it's pretty funny, and the Weezer one was out and out touching. But that was a band he loved that went bad, these other ones are just songs he hates and we hate.

I was hoping he could keep up the high water mark of the Weezer episode.
