apple_pathways: Whatever floats your boat! (Bad Music (Life's Too Short))
[personal profile] apple_pathways
The sleep/wake button on my iPod broke on the drive home from work today, which means I have been forced to listen to the radio, and therefore subjected to the WORST SONG I HAVE EVER HEARD in recent memory.

E.T. by Katy Perry.

Pardon my French, but HOLY SHIT is it bad! And the worst part: they play the damn thing every fifteen minutes on damn near every station! This is, I think, the stupidest part (though it's a tough call):

I know a bar out in Mars
Where they driving spaceships instead of cars1
Cop a Prada spacesuit2 about the stars
Getting stupid ass straight out the jar3
Pockets on Shrek4, Rockets on deck
Tell me what's next, alien sex5
I'ma disrobe you, than I'mma probe you6
See I abducted you, so I tell ya what to do
I tell ya what to do, what to do, what to do7


1 Duh...
2 Yes, that's who I want designing my spacesuit: not NASA scientists with their MIT degrees, their knowledge of conditions in a vacuum, their technical know-how--no, I want PRADA! *massive eyeroll*
3 ?
4 ??
5 What about alien foreplay?
6 Oh, fun...
7 Yeah right.

There's also this gem:

You're so supersonic

Yeah, I'm not sure "faster than the speed of sound" is a quality to brag about in a lover...


I could go on, but I'll spare you all the rest of this nonsense. But if you'd care to play along at home, your mission, should you choose to accept it, is this: Name a song even stupider than Kanye and Miss Katy's attempts at Cosmic Love.

Or, you know: just gripe about this song, music in general, or tell me something awesome you're listening to right now that I can add to my iPod after I go to the Apple Store tomorrow and they make it all better!

Yeah, I need to work on my Pandora-it's kind of obsessed with Nina Simone right now, and I don't want her gone-just not every fifth song.

YES! I mean, come ON Pandora: I said I wanted you to find me artists that are like Regina Spektor, not play her every other track! I already own all her albums, and so don't need you to play her Greatest Hits non-stop. And yet you can only skip so many songs... (Oh, the life I lead! *dramatic pose*)

I saw that! Minnesota Public Radio. I am all about the Public Radio (I manned the phones for a local station's fundraiser once!), so I will definitely be checking it out.
