Karaoke could be so much better than it is. I don't expect Jacques Brel or even the Pixies. But when the only George Michael song on the menu is "Father Figure," I'm outta there. Why is it all terrible crap? Who wants to hear "Freeway of Love" or "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing?" I bet they have much cooler songs in Japan. Or is the whole point of karaoke that it celebrates the tepid mediocrity of popular songwriting? No, no, no. People actually love this shit. I always say that I like pop music, but whenever I go to karaoke, I'm reminded of how much I really hate the other people who like it.
And another thing: Joan Jett's boring anthem "I Love Rock & Roll" is a terrible song. Why does everyone pretend they like it? It's a group hallucination propagated by fucked-up hipsters who have turned kitsch around so many times that they can't tell the difference between stuff they: a) actually like, b) actually hate, c) ironically pretend to like but actually hate, d) archly pretend to like but actually love, e) weirdly pretend to hate but secretly love. Motherfuckers are so critically feckless that they don't know how they feel about something until they scan the room to gauge public opinion. Gah! "I Love Rock & Roll" sucks giant horse cock! And furthermore, when she gets to the words "jukebox, baby," the damn chord should be MINOR! WHY CAN'T ANYBODY ELSE SEE THAT?!? 0 comments |
