Overrated Songs

July 8th, 2005 Chris Posted in Uncategorized |

Some wannabe critics recently collaborated to produce a most overrated songs list. I agree with a lot of them, and the comments about The Doors’ “Light My Fire” are hilarious:

Lyrically, Jim Morrison�s poetry-set-to-music resembles the scribbling of someone who has just finished the Romantic Poetry section of their tenth grade English class. This doesn�t even cover the fact that in the chorus, �fire� is rhymed with �fire,� the second of which is delivered with a strangled bellow that is supposed to convey some sort of passion that is missing in Morrison�s morose and flat delivery during the rest of the song. Also, �girl we couldn�t get much higher�? He sounds like an eight grader who just smoked some oregano he bought in the bathroom of the mall.

Call me a cynical bastard, but these are the kinds of reviews that I really enjoy.
