Top 10 Songs About End Of the World

0 comments

Currently, there’s a rather unpleasant radio commercial for some Chipotle sub which talks about some promotion being available for an “unlimited time only.”  That’s not the problem: there is a disclaimer used in the ad that goes something like, “If the world does end in 2012, according to Mayan calendar predictions, due to worldwide earthquakes, the sun exploding, or the earth getting sucked into a black hole, then the promotion obviously can’t go on.  So, we can’t guarantee it will last forever-forever, but we can guarantee it will last as long as humanly possible.”  While it is most likely meant less than seriously, the rhetoric is just a little too disturbing to be used for a fast food ad, it’s just a little too heavy if you will.  After all, who wants to contemplate the relative proximity of the apocalypse during their lunch hour?  It wouldn’t be so bad if it weren’t just so ill-placed, not meaning on the radio; in fact, the pending demise of our mortal landscape isn’t really anything new or all that out of place on the radio.  While lately there has been a  lot of buzz with the approaching of 2012, in radio ads and terrible John Cusack movies, plenty of songs have tackled the topic over the years.  Here are the top ten songs ostensibly about the end of the world:

10. “When the World Ends” by Dave Matthews Band


Never has the end of the world sounded so breezy, as Dave sings in as laidback a vocal posture as possible, “When the world ends, we’ll be burning one…”  Here, he is breathing in the jam band-friendly assistance that makes the even the most grim prospects nothing much to worry about, even as the chorus crashes into a sonic ferocity full of “crumbling buildings,” weighty timbres, and saxophone.  “The day the world is over, we’ll be lying in bed…” He seems to assure that as long as he’s got his acoustic guitar and sandals close by, the transition should be mellow enough.  Yeah…

9. “Armageddon It” by Def Leppard


This song is really as much about Armageddon as is not about sex.  This quintessential 80’s hair/pop-metal band doesn’t supply much depth in lyrical content, mostly just crude come-ons and sexual innuendo (“Pour Some Sugar on Me”…), the rest just filler and empty words to put a catchy melody to.  But everything is subjective; even if it is an obvious stretch, some possible thematic tie-ins to the Armageddon idea exist with lyrics like “oh come on, live a bit” and “never want it to stop.”  Well, it would certainly be bad if it did stop…

8. “Four Horsemen of 2012″ by Klaxons


This song off Klaxon’s debut album Myths of the Near Future as danceably dramatic, surreal and overbearing as everything else on the album, right up there with the sci-fi-disco-epic “Gravity’s Rainbow” which seems to feature laser pistols as necessary instruments.  “Horsemen,” in a similar fashion, gallops with rattling post-punk low-end as a demonic chant seems to prescribe an inevitable fate, complete with “red skies” straight out of Revelations.  The refrain is a slow crescendoing “Horse-men of 20-12!”  Really this song would be best played, if not at the very last dance party, during a fight scene between Flash Gordon and Ming the Merciless.

7. “I’m Gonna DJ” by REM


Not R.E.M.’s first song about the end of the world, or the first to endorse the same “live for today” mentality, Michael Stipe reveals that the topic is something he often dwells on as he sings “It’s on my mind, it’s in my mind/It’s what I’ve found, It’s what I find.”  Even if it does concern him, he doesn’t sound concerned; he sounds ready to party: “If death is pretty final, I’m collecting vinyl/I’m gonna DJ at the end of the world!/‘Cause if heaven does exist with a kickin’ playlist/I don’t want to miss it at the end of the world!”  Save the date!

6. “Soldier On” by the Temper Trap


From their debut album Conditions, this song is a lugubrious, solemn contemplation of finiteness, with a babbling guitar-driven melody and frontman Dougy Mandagi cooing lyrics like “no one will know/when seasons cease to change/and how far we’ve gone/how far we’re going.”  He offers the only advice he can, “don’t think about it at all, just keep your head low, and don’t think about it all…soldier on…”  A very nonconfrontational, spiritually-indifferent coping mechanism, but whatever works.

5.  “Four Chords of the Apocalypse” by Julian Casablancas


“Anything to watch while we are waiting for this apocalypse?” sings Strokes frontman and principle songwriter Julian Casablancas.  “What more is there to do?”  He seems at once uneasy lying idle and waiting for the end to come and skeptical of, unfulfilled by, living a decadent lifestyle to escape the inevitable:  “Oh time is over/don’t you know that/ if a time won’t burn or pause/I’ll stay right in my place/now worry’s over.”

4.  “Idioteque” by Radiohead

Thom Yorke’s lyrics have a tendency to be two things: dark and ambiguous.  And it is to greater artistic ends.  The surface layer is replete with sullen imagery, probably a dog being drowned and mutilated, while subliminally is a world of interpretative meaning.  He is the modern epitome of poet as lyricist as consummate songwriter.  This song is especially concept-heavy as it is just one well-placed part of a greater electro-atmospheric concept album in Kid A.  The undercurrent of the album seems to be something like a simulation of a national disaster, sonically and lyrically.  For an in-depth piece-by-piece analysis of the album as it syncs up with the events leading up to and following 9/11, check out Chuck Klosterman’s brilliant piece in Spin (you can find it online or in his self-titled editorial collection).  This song is quite clearly the album’s climax, the moment in which the “worst of it” happens.  It seems to perfectly align to apocalyptic circumstances as pithy lines come off as mere sound bites and thought capsules from assorted victims in the heart of it all:  “Who’s in a bunker?/Women and children first…/I’ll laugh until my head comes off/I’ll swallow till I burst…/Ice age coming/Ice age coming/Let me hear both sides…/We’re not scaremongering/This is really happening…/Take the money run/Take the money/Here I’m allowed/Everything all of the time…”  Here you hear the collective voices, of all walks of life, operating in a state of sheer panic.  The hypothetically question posed is, ‘what would you do?’ Keep a cool head? Go insane? Loot? Riot?  Who can know until the time should actually come.




3. “It’s the End of the World as We Know it (And I Feel Fine)” by R.E.M


This song has to be the premiere example of overcrowded lyrics, words as overpopulated as a fallout shelter.  Stipe’s cheeky enthusiasm and Peter Bucks carefree guitar-jangle make you feel “fine” as well when that chorus comes and allows for an irresistible sing-along.  Or you could do what Chris Farley and David Spade did in Tommy Boy and just make-up the words leading up to. Depends on how excited you are about the end of the world.  Shout out to Nadan10 for his original video of a song that didn’t have an original video.

2.  “Kingdom’s Coming” by Bauhaus


The best thing about Peter Murphy’s lyrics, other than their ghoulish charm, is their melodramatic contents.  This is almost to the point where singing about the end of days comes off as shtick. “Sky will open soon, could be today/Your kingdom is coming, coming today.” The cold, biblical nature of these sentiments is what adds that classic gothic kick, supplying a creepiness compacted by time, fermented in the sin and stone of a medieval torture chamber.  “Madness in the wind’s got something to say/It ripped you apart/It will always be that way.”  That’s a slice of fear that can only be enjoyed in moderate doses or when dwelling in an abyss is all that’s left.

1.  “The End of the World” by The Cure


Robert Smith wouldn’t be himself if he didn’t focus on the absolute worst.  It’s only surprising that this song is actually so recent (from the 2004 self-titled Cure album), only after so many upbeat pop-albums spent defying that “goth” typecast.  While the Cure sound exists in many forms, and is recognizable is being more than just the contents of 17 Seconds or Pornography (where the best downer sentiments can be traced, lines like “It doesn’t matter if we all die” from “A Hundred Years”), it seems that Robert Smith has become okay with returning to his gothic roots on occasion, lyrics always best when depressed.  As it turns out, the lyrics concerning the end of the world happen to appear in the most upbeat song on the album, a highly contentious, yet underrated gem in a beautiful catalogue.  Maybe it’s not fair to include this obvious love song on a list of songs about the end of the world, let alone put it at number one, but who best to lead us all to the gates of eternal dusk?

Top 10 Unsexy Songs Which are Sexxxy !

0 comments

The pop music industry revolves around using sex appeal to sell songs, so you’d figure they’d be pretty good at it by now. Sure, not every song is going to be a hit, but they’re not going to release any tracks that completely miss the mark, right?
If you believe that you haven’t heard any of the following ten songs, which are so spectacularly unsexy they make us envy eunuchs.

10. Olivia Newton-John – Physical


The 80s’ idea of making something sexy was to coat it in purple spandex and play synthesizer music in the background, so maybe it’s unfair to judge “Physical” by modern standards. But in 2010 Billboard Magazine named it the sexiest song of all time, which proves two things: first, “Physical” is an ageless blight that must be destroyed, and second, nobody at Billboard knows what sex is.
The video is about Newton-John abusing fat people, and unless you suffer from a very particular fetish you’re not going to find that erotic in the slightest. The song itself doesn’t fare any better, as the innuendos are delivered with such ham-handedness that you almost feel like Newton-John didn’t realize she was supposed to sound seductive and actually thought this was a song about exercise. The video proves our suspicions—she looks so desexualised it constitutes lewd conduct to be aroused by her. Anyone who finds this song sexy would be brought to a state of constant orgasm by a Sears catalogue.

9. R. Kelly – Sex in the Kitchen

R. Kelly is the Salvador Dali of making love to women—he has to turn even the most mundane encounter into a surreal nightmare. No song demonstrates that better than “Sex in the Kitchen,” his passionate, heartfelt tribute to getting it on next to bakery products.

“Sex in the Kitchen” sounds like a cookbook written by a nymphomaniac—it’s mostly about sex, but there are just enough references to food that it remains a major theme. Maybe R. Kelly was hungry when he wrote the song. Or maybe he’s just insane. You can never be sure with him.
When R. Kelly sings about his girl cutting up “tomatoes, fruits and vegetables and potatoes,” he makes it sound like the most erotic thing in the world. Lyrical redundancy aside, if R. Kelly finds chopped tomatoes arousing he must impregnate every woman in a ten mile radius when he’s served steak. But at least he keeps the song somewhat classy, and doesn’t—oh wait, there’s a line about tossed salad near the end. Gross. If you’re ever offered food prepared in R. Kelly’s kitchen, don’t eat it.

8. Ne-Yo – Sexy Love

“Sexy Love” sounds like a title a 13 year old would come up with, and the rest of the song appears to have been penned by a teenager, too.
After a stunningly creative intro of, “My sexy love, so sexy,” Ne-Yo sings about a problem every teenage boy faced: “Just one touch and I erupt/Like a volcano and cover her with my love.” Dude, too much information.

After Ne-Yo gets his premature ejaculation problem off his chest, the song descends into a mess of romantic clichés. It’s like it was written with ad-libs, but the writer only knew four words to put in the blanks—“baby” and “babygirl” are used constantly, and lines like, “I love making love to you” represent the creative apex. At least he’s not letting his performance issues dampen his enthusiasm, but it’s hard to be aroused by a song about a guy who just realized sex is kind of neat.

7. Madonna – Hung Up

Yes, Madonna is still around, and yes, she still sucks. As a song, “Hung Up” isn’t that bad, but in 2009 the music video was voted the least sexy video of all time. If you disagree, you haven’t seen it.

In just five minutes you’ll see more of Madonna’s ass than it’s safe to be exposed to in a lifetime. She gyrates around in a pink leotard that leaves nothing to the imagination, which would be fine if she hadn’t been nearly 50 when this video was released. It’s like watching our mothers prance around with their buttocks hanging out—everything about it just feels… dirty. And not the good dirty, the “I’ve been in the shower for five hours and I still don’t feel clean” dirty. Three cameramen committed suicide during the recording of this video, and, if you listen closely whenever the camera zooms in on Madonna’s pelvis, you can hear their screams.

6. Dinah Washington – Long John Blues

As proof that unsexy songs aren’t a new phenomenon we’re going back to 1949, when the Queen of the Blues sang a smooth, jazzy ballad about getting railed by her dentist.

5. Black Eyed Peas – My HumpsOn the scale of erotic professions dentist ranks behind only coroner and concentration camp guard, so Washington had a tall mountain to climb—and a double entendre about cavities that needed filling was not the way to go about it. “He took out his trusted drill and told me to open wide” is possibly the most uncomfortable sexual analogy ever written, especially since it came right after we learned that “every woman just can’t stand the pain.” Good lord. If this song had been written thirty years later the lyrics would have just been Washington’s dentist yelling “Is it safe?” while he molested her.
We apologize for reminding everyone of the existence of “My Humps,” a song so patently stupid that scientists have linked prolonged exposure to it with an increased risk for brain tumors, but it really does deserve a place on this list. Maybe it’s old hat to make fun of it, but the fact that the Black Eyed Peas still have a career is proof that they’ve yet to be mocked enough.

“Lady lumps” sounds like a term ultra-Orthodox Jews use when they give the sex talk. Fergie’s use of it suggests that she either has the maturity of an eight year old or she’s trying to tell us she has breast cancer. And the latter possibility is actually more arousing than anything else in this song.
When Fergie isn’t giving us an anatomy lesson she’s bragging about how she uses her body to make men spend all their money on her. Way to set feminism back a decade with your inane music, Black Eyed Peas. Is bragging about how your camel-esque behind makes men do your bidding supposed to be seductive? Maybe it’s our own fault for expecting better of a band that rhymed “sexy” with “sex me.”

4. Another Level – Freak Me

“Freak Me” was written by an R&B group called Silk, but it only became a musical contraceptive when it was covered by Another Level, a British boy band. Any song called “Freak Me” is obviously going to lack sophistication, but Another Level managed to turn it into something especially ridiculous.

Lines like, “Let me lick you up and down” and “I want to be your nasty man” are silly, but Silk could pull them off because they looked like they could actually follow up on those requests. The guys of Another Level are so wimpy that their idea of being a “nasty man” is reading their poetry to their girlfriends before they spend ten seconds thrusting and five minutes apologizing.
Their desire to “Let me freak you” doesn’t sound erotic, just desperate—these are lonely men, and there’s nothing sexy about that. Hell, the band’s token black member looks like he’s on the verge of tears throughout the entire video. Considering this was the peak of his career, we can’t really blame him.

3. R. Kelly – Pregnant

This is R. Kelly’s second entry on the list, and frankly, he could have occupied all ten spots. The man is to love songs what rape kits are to romantic evenings. Statistics show that for every R. Kelly song released the number of lesbians in the world skyrockets, and “Pregnant” was responsible for more vows of chastity than every religion in history.

“Pregnant” is about a girl with an “unbelievable booty” that R. Kelly met and became so enamoured with he immediately decided he wanted to “knock her up.” He then told her as much, making it both a terrible impulse decision and a terrible pickup line. No woman on Earth is going to respond to, “You make me want to get you pregnant” with anything except a rape whistle. It’s about as romantic as shouting, “You will be the one to bear my young!” then clubbing her and dragging her back to your cave.
And if you think that’s sexist, wait until you hear the line, “Now put that girl in my kitchen.” Wait, is this a prequel to “Sex in the Kitchen”? That song just got a whole lot darker.

2. Liz Phair – H.W.C. (NSFW)

There’s no way to be subtle here, so we’re just going to come out and say it: Liz Phair really, really likes semen. She likes it so much she wrote a ballad in its honour, and it’s even more embarrassing to listen to than you’d imagine.  Seriously, if you’re easily embarrassed, just don’t watch the video.  Take my word for it.

We don’t want to be prudes—male singers have written plenty of great songs about how much they love sex, so it would be hypocritical to criticize a woman for doing the same thing. But Phair’s song was so obviously written for its shock value that it’s not sexy, just insulting. We’re supposed to say, “A girl who sings about semen, and plays the harmonica? What a free spirit!” but our only reaction is, “Ew, gross.” We’re glad you like ejaculate so much Liz, but we really don’t need to hear about what it’s doing for your complexion. The only people who are going to be aroused by this song are future prostitutes and future serial killers.

1. Katy Perry – Milk Milk Lemonade

This song was cut from Perry’s Teenage Dream album, and considering Perry is most famous for a song about the complex and esoteric subject of making out with another girl it must have hit a whole new level of shallow to get the axe. It did—and then it kept digging.

Katy Perry – Milk Milk Lemonade (New Song) by wonderful-life1989
The fact that the children’s rhyme about bodily fluids turned “sexy” hook is the least idiotic part of this song is a testament to what a concentrated dose of ear poison it is. Every line is a dreadful double entendre with all the subtly of a sledgehammer to the face. Lyrics like, “You say I got the ripest melons on the street/My honey dew and your banana make a treat,” will forever ruin both sex and fruit for anyone unfortunate enough to hear them. And it only gets worse from there, as Perry invites listeners to sample her sugar, because she’s a “tasty treat.” Well, at least she’s not asking us to try her chocolate, though it is mentioned in the hook.  Ew.

Top 10 Teen drama Comedies

0 comments

Everybody likes a good teen comedy, but we can only talk about how awesome The Breakfast Club and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off are so many times before the Internet is destroyed in a flood of redundancy. So we’ve assembled a list of 10 pretty good teen comedies that may have slipped under your radar, unless you’re one of those people who immediately runs to the comments section of lists like this to brag about how you’ve seen all the entries before. For the rest of you, enjoy!

10. Youth in Revolt

Youth in Revolt stars Michael Cera, and was released in 2009—right when moviegoers were saying to themselves, “Hey, isn’t Cera that guy who plays the same awkward teenager in every movie?” The film’s by-the-numbers advertising reinforced that notion, as trailers made Youth in Revolt look exactly like every other teen comedy ever made. It’s no wonder not a lot of people saw it.

Those who actually watched Youth in Revolt saw a comedy that was much darker than advertised. Cera plays both a shy teenager named Nick and his confident, sociopathic alter ego Francois, and together they commit arson, get their manipulative girlfriend expelled from school by drugging her with sleeping pills, and eventually go to jail. Based on an even darker book (the movie left out the part where Nick gets sedated and raped by an obese, borderline mentally handicapped boy), Youth in Revolt effectively mixes black humour with a sweet romance story. Also, you get to see Michael Cera with a moustache. Who says he doesn’t have range?

9. The Last American Virgin

The Last American Virgin, a 1982 remake of a 1978 Israeli film, is for the most part a pretty typical teen flick. You’ve got your everyman protagonist, his cool best friend and the fat comic relief sidekick, and all they want out of life is to have sex. They go to parties, try to get laid and have wacky adventures. It’s not high art, but it’s amusing enough.

But once you get past the typical shenanigans you’ll find some pretty serious content—the hero, Gary, helps the girl he has a crush on pay for an abortion after his best friend gets her pregnant and dumps her. Then, in a remarkably grim ending—Spoiler Alert for a 29 year old movie you’ll probably never watch—Gary’s attempt to get with the girl is crushed when she takes back his best friend despite his cruelty, and the film ends with a shot of Gary in tears. It’s like if Ferris Bueller’s Day Off had ended with Ferris crashing Cameron’s dad’s  Ferrari and killing them both. The brutal portrayal of unrequited love makes The Last American Virgin stand out amongst other teen films.

8. Saved!

If you took all the drama and shenanigans of a typical high school comedy but changed the venue to a Christian school, you’d have Saved! It stars Jena Malone as Mary, a devout Christian with an equally devout boyfriend. But after he comes out of the closet to her, Mary has sex with him in an attempt to “cure” his homosexuality, and ends up pregnant. From there she begins to question her faith, and runs afoul of her fundamentalist former friends. It’s kind of like Mean Girls, except with hardcore Christians instead of Lindsay Lohan.
saved
Religion is always a touchy subject, and Saved! was criticised both for being anti-Christian and for not taking its satire of Christianity far enough. But that’s what makes Saved! so funny—it treats the subject matter with enough respect to prevent the film from degenerating into mindless bashing. The characters feel like real people instead of shallow caricatures, which makes the lessons they learn seem genuine, not preachy. Also, Macaulay Culkin is in it, and he plays a handicapped kid. We’d like to think it’s his character from Home Alone after placing one too many traps.

7. Lucas

Lucas is so quintessentially 80s that anyone who watches it today risks developing a spontaneous desire to go out and buy parachute pants. You’ve got the spunky little kid, the jocks who bully him and the girl he can’t get past being “just friends” with. He tries to impress her by joining the football team, and although he’s injured his bravery earns him a slow clap from his schoolmates. It’s one musical fade-out away from being a John Hughes movie.

Lucas can be a little saccharine, but it has its fair share of funny moments, like seeing a young Corey Haim curse out his football coach and get in an argument about penises with his bullies. And there’s something surreal about watching a movie starring Haim, Winona Ryder and Charlie Sheen in their youth; the tone of the film changes significantly when you picture Lucas growing up to die of a drug overdose while his friends turn into a shoplifter and a crazy person.

6. Get Real

Part comedy, part drama, Get Real put a twist on the typical high school romance story by making it a gay romance. And it’s British.

Get Real has some hilarious scenes, but it’s the painfully awkward depiction of a high school student trying to come out of the closet that’s most memorable. Steven, the protagonist, has a crush on John, the school’s star athlete, and is shocked when they run into each other while cruising for anonymous sex at the local park (who didn’t meet their first partner that way?). They start a relationship, but John, struggling with being open about his sexuality, refuses to publically admit it. It doesn’t end well, but Steven learns a valuable life lesson and the audience learns about the difficulty of maintaining a homosexual relationship in high school. And also about how weird British schools are.




5. subUrbia

subUrbia is part of the proud “a group of slackers sit around and drink outside of a convenience store” comedy subgenre, which director Richard Linklater helped create. It was released in 1996, and everything about it has a 90s vibe, from the aimlessness of the young characters to the alternative rock soundtrack.

The movie takes place over a single night, as the friends wait for a visit from a former schoolmate who is now a rock star. The movie is all dialogue, partly because the characters have nothing to do with their lives besides talk, partly because the movie is adapted from a play, and partly because subUrbia had a budget of whatever could be stolen from tip jars. It’s very funny, but also very dark—these are depressed people living depressing lives, and their complete lack of direction is painful to witness. It’s also the hardest movie on this list to find a copy of, so if you’re looking for a film that will make it seem like you have obscure tastes then this is the one for you.

4. The Trotsky

The Trotsky is about a high school student named Leon who believes he’s the reincarnation of, you guessed it, Leon Trotsky. He’d be insufferable in real life, but Jay Baruchel’s great sense of comedic timing makes the character funny and charming.

The movie begins with Leon working at his family’s clothing factory, where he goes on a hunger strike in an attempt to unionise the workers. His parents punish him by switching him from a private school to a public one, but he keeps right on fighting the power, this time by trying to unionise his fellow students while battling the authoritarian principal. Along the way he attempts to seduce an older woman whom he believes he is destined to marry, just because she has the same name as Trotsky’s wife.
The sheer insanity of the concept makes The Trotsky very funny, although unless you’re well versed in Russian revolutionary history a joke or two will inevitably go over your head. But it never hurts to brush up, and watching a movie sure beats studying.

3. Gregory’s Girl

Gregory’s Girl is about soccer, teenage love and ridiculous Scottish accents (the dialects are so strong that different voices were dubbed in for the film’s American release). The titular protagonist falls for a girl who joins his school’s soccer team, but to win her love he has to compete with both the rest of the squad and his own ineptitude.

Most of the comedy comes from Gregory’s incredible ineptitude, which is guaranteed to make any viewer feel better about their own teenage years. But he’s also a very charming character, and one that feels believable. Gregory’s Girl isn’t the funniest movie on this list (although it definitely has its moments), but it does the best job of capturing what teenagers really act like. Except with a lot less profanity.

2. Flirting

Flirting is another movie that could have easily swung from “charming” to “nauseating,” especially since it’s set in Australia. God knows how many killer snakes and giant spiders they had to edit out of the background. It tells the story of a romance at a 1960s boarding school between a nervous boy and a rebellious girl from Uganda, and features several now-famous Australian actors before they made their way to Hollywood.

It sounds like the setup to an inane Nicolas Sparks movie, but Flirting is both witty and charming. There are some very funny moments, some very likeable and realistic characters, and some very gratuitous shots of Thandie Newton running around in her underwear. Oh, and there are overarching themes of racial politics and stifling societal norms and the power of love and whatever. Did we mention you see Nicole Kidman and Naomi Watts in their underwear, too?

1. Election

Election is both a great comedy and a hilarious satire of American politics. It stars Reese Witherspoon as Tracy, a girl who wants to win her school’s student president election at all costs, and Matthew Broderick as Mr. McAllister, the teacher who sets out to stop her.

Everyone’s high school had a bubbly overachiever like Tracy, and everyone hated them. McAllister is so desperate to ensure her defeat that he puts his own career and personal life on the line, and his obsession over one student in a meaningless election makes him equally ridiculous. Throw in an injured football player who’s only running because McAllister talked him into it, and his younger sister who enters the race on a platform of immediately disbanding the student government if elected, and you have a fantastic comedic premise. The fact that none of the other students really care about the election in the slightest just makes it funnier—and disturbingly similar to real Presidential elections.
