“This week or last week I don’t really care about it anymore I write myself this later I tell myself you let me go
Without me What’s wrong with you? Monday Monday Monday Monday Monday Monday Monday Monday Monday Monday Monday Monday
Your house or mine I don’t really care about it anymore I close my eyes I, I make myself unhappy so you’ll go
Without me What’s wrong with you Monday Monday Monday Monday Monday Monday Monday Monday Monday Monday Monday Monday
Oh, and I I say damn your mood swings Damn your mood swings Oh, and I I say damn your mood swings Damn your mood swings
I’m calling out I don’t really care for your city anymore I spend the night I lay awake and miss you when you go
Without me What’s wrong with you Monday Monday Monday Monday Monday Monday Monday Monday Monday Monday Monday Monday
Oh, and I I say damn your mood swings Oh, and I I say damn your mood swings Damn your mood swings Oh, and I I say damn your mood swings Damn your mood swings Oh, and I I say damn your mood swings Damn your mood swings”
For the life of me, I cannot remember what made me think Everything Zen by Bush was the worst song of the 90s while this song exists.
I guess I forced The Freshmen out of my head, despite the fact that it was inescapable in 1997. When the song came out, everyone assumed that it was about a rape that was followed by a suicide but the The Verve Pipe’s lead singer later said that the song was inspired by his girlfriend getting an abortion when they were younger and that the lyrics about Valium were poetic license. (The amount of valium mentioned in the song would not be fatal.) Abortion is a serious subject matter and there’s been a lot of good songs written about that very topic. Of course, this derivative dirge isn’t exactly one of them.
A quick google search revealed that there are a lot of people who are under the impression that the “I can’t be held responsible” line is meant to be taken literally. Though I’m not a fan of the song, I will say that I don’t think we’re necessarily meant to agree with the all of the lyrics. I think that the “Can’t be held responsible,” is just something the song’s narrator is telling himself as a way to deal with his guilt. That this fairly obvious point was missed by both critics and fans says more about them than it does the song.
This video is pure 90s angst, from the room with the one light bulb to the band slowly appearing behind the lead singer. Angst was big in the 90s, though there was eventually enough of an angst backlash that it led to the era of the boy bands and pop queens. Still, those of us who grew up in the 90s can’t be held responsible. We won’t be held responsible. People listened in the first place.
This is Okean Elzy. They may not be a household name here in the States but in Ukraine, there are one of the country’s oldest and most popular rock bands. Today’s music video of the day is about a lot more than just honoring a band.
I have a long-standing fear of heights so the video for this song kind of freaks me out.
Whenever I’m on a plane, I find myself wondering what would happen if I somehow found myself plunging through the clouds. I would hope that I would achieve a state of grace during the experience but …. well, it probably wouldn’t happen. I’ve seen any number of shows that featured people skydiving. Usually, it’s presented as being this great experience but it’s definitely something that I could go without.
James Bond, I will say, was a good sky driver. Seriously, Bond could do just about anything back in the day. That was before he got all whiny. Oh well.
Don’t fall out of planes, everyone. D.B. Cooper was a cool guy and he made a lot of money but he’s not a role model that one needs to emulate.
Enjoy!
Why? You only say you love me when you’re high It’s like we go through the same shit every night Oh why, oh why? You always swear that it’s gonna change, but it never does Why? You’ll only say you love me when you’re high It’s like we go through the same shit every night Oh why, oh why? You always swear that shit’s gonna change, but it never does
Tell me that you’re gonna change Then act like this instead I’m too old to want somebody who’s always switching up their friends I can’t make you love me but at least you could pretend Scripts gonna leads to fifths until I’m fucked out of my head You play the same old songs I know that you’re different in your Air Force Ones Filling my prescription I could bite your tongue Like I got an addiction yeah You always say this shit’s gonna change, but it never does
Why? You only say you love me when you’re high It’s like we go through the same shit every night Oh why, oh why? You always swear that it’s gonna change, but it never does Why? You’ll only say you love me when you’re high It’s like we go through the same shit every night Oh why, oh why? You always swear that shit’s gonna change, but it never does
I know it’s my fault I pick up your phone call When it’s half past one and you’re halfway drunk You say you love me and it sounds so dumb But you’re the only one I can run away from the same old songs I know that you’re different in your Air Force Ones Filling my prescription I could bite your tongue Like I got an addiction yeah You always say this shit’s gonna change, but it never does
Why? You only say you love me when you’re high It’s like we go through the same shit every night Oh why, oh why? You always swear that it’s gonna change, but it never does Why? You’ll only say you love me when you’re high It’s like we go through the same shit every night Oh why, oh why? You always swear that shit’s gonna change, but it never does
This was filmed at Madison Square Garden, back in 1974. I’m sharing this on Presidents Day because I’m sure this is the song that most presidents would probably sing while being kicked out of the White House. We really should consider using My Way as the new national anthem.
This music video reminds me of many a country night.
Enjoy!
I’ve got a habit Of loving the tragic There’s a Hole in my jacket But I. don’t. care.
It’s 3 am and I can’t sleep And you’ll find me running down the street With tears in my eyes But I’m alright Because I’m alive And I love it
My teachers never understand Why I make all these impossible plans
And I fall apart And I love it
But that’s just who I am Say what you want Cause I don’t give damn So baby Call me when I’m dead You say they dropped me on my head But i think you must be misled cause Oddities and Prodigies Go hand in hand
This isn’t something they teach in school And I’m not tryna start a trend A revolutionary war When I hear the record spin
I feel so bloody beautiful When I’m lying on the floor
Cause that’s just who I am Say what you want Cause I don’t give damn So baby Call me when I’m dead You say they dropped me on my head But i think you must be misled cause Oddities and Prodigies Go hand in hand
What will books say about me What will my friends say about me What will my mom say about me What will you say about me What will books say about me What will my friends say about me What will my mom say about me What will I say about me
But that’s just who I am Say what you want Cause I don’t give damn (extended) So baby Call me when I’m dead You say they dropped me on my head But i think you must be misled cause Oddities and Prodigies Go hand in hand
You may remember that this song plays over the end credits for American Outlaws. It was a good pick because the song has a real western feel to it. That said, it also has nothing to do with this music video, which interprets the song fairly literally. “Oh my God! They really are finding a baby!”
