A Tribute To The Times When Songs Were Songs.
August 23rd, 2006
Is it me or are the local hit radio stations just spewing out endless garbage over and over and over again these days?
A hit doesn’t even have to be music anymore.
It doesn’t even need to be sang by a normal sounding human being - ting! ting!. Look Mr Justin Timberlake, I really thought NSync was fun because you guys were the only boyband who could actually DANCE and had decent vocals and when you left your group to pursue you own shit, I STILL thought you had pretty decent vocals and damn catchy moves but WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH SEXY BACK??!?!?! (whish IS rather catchy I have to admit, but makes me feel dirty to enjoy it, somehow)
Can anyone even catch what the new bands are screaming about half the time? What’s with their trying to squeezing 43932743598 BIG words to a beat and all? Not enough airtime? Trying to cut cost of production? Dudes at Panic! At the Disco, I mean what’s up with that? Your lyrics don’t even MAKE sense to the sober mind, is it supposed to be like some sort of an EMO shit where there’s a DEEPER meaning to your lyrics if only I smoked pot? And your titles like
“the only different between martyrdom and suicide is press coverage”
and
“theres a good reason these tables are numbered honey you just havent thought of it yet”
…. are like woah. dudes. deep. very deep.
I mean what the fuck are you idiots TRYING TO BE FUNNY?
And why is EVERY OTHER SONG out of the airwaves and MTV BLACK RAP HIP HOP BIG BOOTY SHAKING HOES SEE MY BLING MY GRILLS SHIT?!?!?! IT IS NOT SHWEEET FO SHIZZLE IN MY NIZZLE YO!
And Rihanna? The tweenage slut who’s emoing over the fact that she’s cheating over her loving boyfriend through her “I constantly sound like a bad case flu or a fork scraping against a plate god please kill me now” nasal voice? How is that for the Greatest Role Model for Tweens EvAr award?
Simple Plan? 20 something year olds crying about why the world doesn’t understand them? GO HUG AN AFRICAN KID WITH AIDS! GET A REAL JOB!
PussyCatDolls? I……You….. They…. Shit, damnit why do you bitches have to be so damn hot I forgot what my point was.. oh wait it’s coming back to me now.. and it has something to do with the fact that THEY ARE A BURLESQUE GROUP WITH ONE “SINGER” AND FIVE OVERPAID BACK UP DANCERS WHICH MEANS THEY SHOULD BE KEPT LOCKED UP IN LAS VEGAS NOT SET LOOSE UPON THE INNOCENT MINDS OF OUR CHILDREN!! Who are our future! Teach them well and let them lead the way! All that jazz! … and I’m quite sure that “allowing them to watch a PCD concert” doesn’t fall under “teach them well”.
PARIS HILTON? WHYYYYYYYYY?!?!?!?! OH GODDDDDD WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!?!?!?!?!?
Ok. Disclaimer. I have to admit some of these current shit hits are still quite catchy. The flesh is weak.
*ashamed*
But it’s still shit, you know?
What happened to the days when singers were recognised as singers because they actually had some REAL RAW TALENT?
See the constant EH?WTF? look etched on my face whenever I hear the stuff my sister listen to these days. All noise I tell you. Noise. Produced though recording sounds made by squishing little furry animals with bare hands accompanied by the clashing of stainless steel kitchen utensils in the background that’s what it is.
Actually, to be fair, I bet my mum thought the music I listened to during MY time was noise too.
Maybe I’m getting a little too old for the scene.
Well, because there’s no school like the old school, here’s a little tribute to the old times when music was… music.
So, if you have nothing against oldies and feel like wasting away a little over 3 minutes of your life today by listening to something which may be detrimental to the well-being of your sanity, ears, heart, reproductive organs, intestines and whatnot then by all means do proceed to click the “play” button.
If you don’t swing that way, then this post ends here and I suggest you fuck off this very instant, because really, if you’re a normal self-preserving individual like nature intended you to be with half an ounce of grey matter, it would be a very wise thing to do right about now.
Right. That leaves….. the 3 of you.
So, on with the tribute.
Oh, wait. The person involved in this recording wishes to humbly apologise for the cringing flat notes and to emphasise the fact that she/he is AWARE that she/he has NO TALENT whatsoever in this aspect, but in the name of torturing the masses, she/he does not give a fuck AND would rather remain anonymous for these few obvious reasons. Ok, NOW go press the play button and destroy yourselves.
Told you so, psychos.

wow…. that was…. SOMETHING…. ‘_’|||
hmmm… you should’ve rocked it out instead!!!
Nothing like old school rock
Great sound quality. How did you do the recording? Not through Odeo studio, I’m sure (I’ve tried it and it rather sucks).
ps: Nice voice, darling, but stay away from the high notes. Try something sultrier.
So sexy can die, lor.
jom, karaoke… and sing all em old songs
sad songs to make you cry
You brought back memories!
and No! I’m aged less than 25. I just have a thing for oldies.
Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone
Let’s pretend that we’re together all alone
I’ll tell the man to turn the jukebox way down low
And you’ll tell your friend there with you he’ll have to go
Old school, man
Wow, this person can sing better than Paris Hilton! Wait, ANYONE can sing better than Paris. Cept maybe me…
That was a sensual rendition, you are hawwwwwwwwt!
Ooo… I see you’re into Odeo now
Damn… I miss those days.
thanks to modern technology, you can sing flat and they process your voice to sound in tune… yes, thanks for the carpenter’s song. It tugs some heart strings from childhood…
and WAIT A MINUTE, YOU HAVE A YOUNGER SISTER????
hot dang.
i forget the rest of my comments… grr.
eh…not bad for someone has NO TALENT whatsoever…certainly enjoyed it
that’s a rather talented no talent singing… tongue twisting intended…
Haish, wanna karaoke? sultry betul suara tu
Talentless konon.
You have good tone! You can’t teach good tone! You can sing goddamit woman.
And of course I know what I’m talking about. Pfft.
err… keep your day job?
Hey! Even my dad thinks the Pussycat Dolls are not bad. ROFL
No. Really.
You’re just getting old, try Frank Sinatra.
Didcha really sang & recorded dat??…impressive.
I loved the falsetto switch. Flawless.
Nice song.
When i was young i listened to the odeo and heard my favourite song..
Was that you Fa? Sorry for being clueless but that was pretty good
When are we gonna hear you strum that 6 string bad boy?
sing along with piano alwiz da best. mayb i’m old. but dis oldies rox!
sorri but cant help to imagine dat ur actually singin dis with ur other half
next song request: “Close to you” pls???
Wow…. tat’s something surprisingly NICE!!
dont even know half of the ppl you just mentioned….must be getting old….i only know i recently went to see STING!!! he’s old but still can kick ass!
FA - read erna’s comment and stfu about not being talented.
AwWWwwWWWaAAaaaAAayYYYyyYYYyyy
You sound like a yodeller.
ill probably be feeling that way when i’m your age.
but rihanna’s voice is nice.!!.!!.!!!!!!!
and i agree about the pussycat dolls ; only one can sing and the others dance. -_-”
i hate oldies. -_-
I HATE PARIS HILTON!!! WHO IS FAMOUS FOR NOTHING!!! HER VOICE GIVES ME HEADACHES!
beautiful voice, beautiful piano, and beautiful back-up vocals!
tell me, tell me! was it you on the main vocals?!
Couldn’t agree with you more. I can’t connect with the ‘music’ of this era. Being 26 this year, I guess its just an age thing. I’ve been listening to oldies myself, although its been a while since I’ve listened to the Carpenters.
ps: Give Malaysian Idol a shot lol.
Piano is great, and you have very interesting vocal inflections. Who are the backup vocals?
Do a slower song with more emphasis on your voice. It would be gold.
can’t help it as they’re making tonnes of cash, eh?
I hear nothing.
Oh no wonder. Speaker was turned off.
The Carpenters!! I totally agree with you on this post. Can i request some more songs? I would love to hear more of your renditions.
btw the falsetto was awesome
You would have loved it at my work today. One of the police officers brought in a guitar he’d just bought for AUD$120.
So, we had three of us swapping the guitar around and playing stuff, having a sing-a-long … makes it sound like I don’t do any work! lol It was a very busy day … I guess I probably should count the guitar playing as my lunch break!
FA pwns paris hilton in looks and singing voice
Woooww! All I can say that it was a very good music arrangement and yeah.. I like it though it might not be one of those talented ones who can hit the high notes effortless but well, singing doesn’t sounds good only with high notes but it soothes my ears somehow here at work.
paris who?
You mean, i dont get any credits for pointing you to odeo? darn… i will then self plug ;p.
Nice one. Talk to you more about it kays :).
FA: I credit hyperhex for pointing me to odeo. LOL there! Done!
u sing that? sure bor?
So sweet, so heartfelt, so Alison Krauss! Can use to serenade the future love of your life ok - gerenti will get the guy one
ho teng ar dear fireangelicious, very soothing and calm….im so jelous now
maybe u can tried out with field of gold but changed it to s.l.o.w. like tis 1….
woman curses like a bullet train but sings close to a nightingale.. you’re turning on every [wo]man around the world man.. lol. it’s good =)
Come to think of it, there’s another Carpenters song that fits you even better.
Rainy days and Mondays.
suertes: I think the meredith brookes’ one hit wonder suits her better.. hehhee *runs*
DON’T HIT ME FA I LAP YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Technically speaking it’s not going to win you any competitions but I like it. It’s got a that X-factor.
try Triple J. They play music for the good people.

he/she sings very nice…:)
thank you for that!
Whoa…nice one…respect
hey, justin is horny. haha, i love that song. *guilty*
Paris Hilton is just a piece of shit. “I like making music, its hot..” *roll eyes*
it’s totally the same as plain janes masquerading as hot babes and swearing a lot on the net. heh
right back at u.
u so totally didn’t make any sense. and i’m so amazed that people (if you are one, that is) actually interpret a plain audio file with no slutty dance moves on a video as ‘masquerading as hot babes’.
next we’d probably have people say things like “you smell funny” after reading “i went for a swim” on a blogpost. i can’t wait!
personally, i dont think its well sung, but not too bad for a non-professional.
Right on!! I’m 19 and I can’t stand the crap the radio is belting out these days.
I love all the classics when the lyrics actually meant something and the melody was so beautiful it made goose-bumps come out and tears flow…
(Gawd I sound overdramatic! Ahakz)
Btw, the “she” on the recording has a real sexy voice…should sing jazz perhaps? *grinz* Or sumthin a lil lower.
Somehow, I never figured you for a Carpenters fan. That was a surprise!
Not bad at all… I couldn’t have sound better!!! But i’m curious to how you got such good recording quality…
You are getting old……leave the cute stuff for the young ones…….you should be writing and doing more mature stuff….there is no shame in getting old……
1st time commenting….
wow.. u can sing pretty well..
can go n make a living outta ya talent…
hehe.. i will definately be ur fan (which i already am thru reading ya blog!!)
that was awesome ! Really good. You sure have many talents especially writing skills. With good looks, great sense of humour and many talents, you sure are a hot blogger.
Surprise us more.
I agreed, listening back to “The Flying Pickets - Only You” is really refreshing…
Damnucan Singh!
Very good… It’s nice to know that there is still people out there who knows how to enjoy good music…
I think Panic! At the Disco is a great band and how can you say that their lyrics don’t make sense??? >

Their lyrics is the reason why people love them FYI.
Everyone loves them.
Yeah, even me ofcourse.
Don’t know if they’re trying to be deep, but songs and titles inspired by Chuck Palahniuk, their favourite author.
Who fucking rocks btw.
Wah, u can sing too????
*sqints & dies*
