Music Of The Moment



Did not expect hearing Ariete outside a North American chain Italian restaurant today.
 
I
I wouldn't kiss Bruce Springsteen,
Jackson Brown or Leonard Cohen
But I know someone who'd love to shift the drummer in Status Quo,
and I wouldn't drop the lámh on Bono" (lámh being Irish for hand) {*thanks to cjbcjb456 for the lyrics}
There'd be far too many legal wrangles
But Jesus Christ Almighty, I'd love to touch the Bangles

I wouldn't kiss AC/DC
Or Lemmy from Motorhead
I wouldn't kiss Tom Petty
Tina Turner or the Grateful Dead.
And I wouldnlt kiss Mr Tambourine Man {*thanks mistyholly2003 for those lyrics}
No Matter how he jingle jangles
But Jesus Christ Almighty, I'd love to kiss The Bangles
I'd love to have it off with Susanna Hoffs
I'd love to have it off with Susanna Hoffs
I'd love to have it off with Susanna Hoffs
... my favorite's Vicky actually,

I wouldn't kiss Liam O'manlai
Guns And Roses or Muddy Waters
I wouldn't kiss Brian Wilson
Or his Lovely Yankee Daughters
And Shane McGowan is not my type
Because his teeth are green and mangled
But Jesus Christ Almighty, I'd love to bang the Bangles
Oh Jesus Christ Almighty, I'd love to bang the Bangles
 
The first time I heard the whole of Rumors was making out in the bedroom of a new girlfriend after smoking heroin. It was pure pop bliss, divorced from its context and place on the establishment music industry. I think I vaguely understood that this was one of the bands that punk was rebelling against, but the hooks and harmonies won me over.

So it’s not surprising that younger generations can love it too, freed from rock snobbery and gatekeeping.

 
God, what a mess. On the ladder of success. They took one step and missed the whole first rung
