When I was 10, I had a crush on the youngest Hanson (far right). I owned this album and would look longingly into 'her' eyes, admire 'her' beautiful hair, and imagine singing "MMMBop" together. Then I found out 'her' name was Zac.
I need to start a band, solely for the purpose of showcasing the awesome names I've come up with.
Shyamalan Twist
Genre: post-hardcore/screamo
5-piece outfit (I'd be the quiet, unassuming bassist)
Already have titles for two albums → 6th album - The Sixth Sense//final album - The Last Airbender
Our debut would be a critical darling, then each follow-up record would be progressively worse, until our last album hit rock bottom and even our biggest fans/apologists would have to stop pretending we're still good
The Royal Divorce
Genre: emo
3-piece outfit specializing in...what else? Breakup/love songs. (I'd be the primary songwriter, but my lack of experience in relationships would lead our guitarist to take over)
Opportune time to start given the recent wedding
We'd have a slew of catchy, royal-themed singles:
"I've Fallen For Pippa Middleton"
"Prince Harry, I'll Be Your Ginny" (a love song about another commoner hoping to become a royal. Add in the crossover with the Harry Potter crowd and you've got yourself a chart-topper)
"William, Are You The Richest Bill?" (a comparison of William's wealth with Bill Gates')
Our catalog would explode if William & Kate ever did call it quits due to gazillions of Google searches that would lead to our music
This is my workout jam right now. By workout jam, I mean it's the song that helps me not quit as I do my measly 80 push-ups a day (2 sets of 40). I was doing 2 sets of 25, but then a strong friend ("strong" in the literal sense - it's safe to say he does more than 80 push-ups a day) recommended I add a push-up a day to that total. Well, 15 days later I maxed out at 40 and I've been there ever since.
But enough about my futile attempts to escape from this boyish body. This song is good for an actual workout - how can you not be inspired to press on when the chorus kicks in with those scratchy vocals?
My body tells me no
but I won't quit
'cause I want more
These guys are from Orange County, and if my limited watching of the TV show taught me anything, it's that this song is probably referring to sex instead of exercise, but at the moment I like it as a counter to Bruno Mars' "The Lazy Song".
Oh, and this performance is absolutely filthy. (I mean "filthy" in the positive sense, I don't know if I've mastered OC slang from my cousin yet).
