Are Dutchies welcome?

[Storm]

I guess we are.....

I know, I was too.

I can't believe how many people don't like "Butts Wigglin'", I love that song. Same goes for "Sharks".

[HipCheck]

I think "Butts" is just "there". Repetitive lyrics. It's a little too vanilla to stir up any emotion. "Good Life" lyrics are repetetive as well, but that song just has soooooo much emotion in it, I really think it's almost a "perfect" song. It's a cool song to play too. I think it's the chord change for the chorus. It's simple but brilliant, as most Hip songs are.

[Beat]

Well, after careful consideration.....these are the songs of The Hip which don't really do it for me:

* All Canadian Surf Club
* Apartment Song
* Tiger The Lion

I must comment. 50 Mission Cap is probably my fav song lubineski. And second leave the great lyrical masterpiece of Tiger the Lion alone. Is lyrically a word. The song I would have to pick is Train Overnight

Some of the songs you guys are taking are pure masterpieces. I agree that it is a very opinionated conversation(arguement) but Tiger the Lion is definitely an awesome song, lyrically and musically( the devil's interval). The only song that I have trouble getting into is off Music @ Work. Sharks, Freak Turbulence and even Wild Mountain Honey are very entertaining songs, but Toronto just irritates me. That and a couple of songs off their EP. But every other Hip song has the energy and music intelligence to surpass any other band's A-Sides. How about a discussion about favourite songs next time, it will keep every one happy.

tiger the lion is one of my all time favorite songs

I think to truly like some hip songs that you don't like... is to hear it live or get a live version of it .. Tiger the lion live is a good song.. on kazza search for muchmusic set 3 to hear it live... personally i can't stand silver jet, throwing off glass, are you ready , the bastard and most of the songs on music@work ... i love the hip but when you have to learn to like songs then theres something not right..

[HipCheck]

I agree. I didn't know what to think of Tiger The Lion because it's not atypical of The Hip. It's really hard compared to most. But when I heard it live, I was sold. It's a great song. I find that I wind up listening to live recordings much more than the actual albums.

One of the things that you should for it those songs that you dislike (ie: the bastard, throwing off glass, silver jet), is the degree to which it differs from their other material. As a drummer, the bastard is really percussionally entertaining (as is most of their newer material, good to see after a few percussionalist-free albums), and silver jet is just fun. I'll agree, though, that throwing off glass is a bit mellow for my likes, unless I'm high.
