Lyrics

Here are some lyrics from the new Wheatus album out:

"The sound of American radio's making me feel like I just killed my mom and my dad/ These pop songs are meant to be simple so people who make them, we take them and break them in half/ But as I drove I remembered that you made a tape/ For me to play if I my ears were ever being raped/ I slipped it in and the Tragically Hip came on singing about matches/ Well at least someone still believes in the melody."

Hmmm, what song was being played. At first I thought maybe it was 700 Ft. Ceiling of Fireworks (hockey matches) or something along those lines. Any other guesses?

When I listen to the song I hear "...singing about Music" not "...singing about Matches". When they sing about the Stereophonics I hear the word Matches, but for the part about Tragically Hip the word matches is changed to music I believe. (but my ears have been wrong before, lol)

I'll be on the level... I haven't heard the song, it just came up on a search. If it is music, it may be slightly harder to narrow down.

No - actually to me it is a lot easier if it is Music....

Hmmm...and what stage setup did they use for that one? Was Gord on a bed, rhymatically shakin' his butt like she used to do?

OR maybe he had on one of those bras with the pointy cups.... :roll:

I just looked up the lyrics on the internet too and it is written as "matches" everywhere I saw as well, but after listening to the song myself a few times to check it, i'm pretty sure it is "music" 8) Guess the lyrics sites got it wrong this time.

lol, thanks, the hardest part was making it small enough (9k) so that it could be used on this site Tongue

Sadly, after this performance, Gord was banned from Toronto for masturbating through his lingerie on stage...

...too far?

I hope people got my joke...
you see, this exact same situation happened to Madonna!
I know some people probably got it, but I just wanted to point out that out.

Yeah I got it.
I hope you didn't take offensive.
I was just having some fun (like you were).

Oh, I didn't take offense at all, and I assumed that someone as smart as you, Trevor, got it. But there may be several people who read this and would just be like: Confusedcratch: "Get this kid into a straight-jacket and a room with bouncy floors and walls"

Oh, God, I need to get out of work!

Your almost there! One more hour (I'm assuming) and then its time for the pants party!
