The History Of Pop Part 65 aka Jumping In My Tutu

Happy 2nd Birthday Poptimists!

As a celebration, here's a trip down memory lane - a NOW poll! For more recently arrived posters, the NOW Polls covered the first 64 volumes, and ended at around this time last year. There are now three more volumes, not that I'm intending to poll all three, but enough water has flowed under the pop bridge for a summer-of-06 lookback to not feel ENTIRELY like a pointless exercise.*


[Poll #1020712]


*in a relative sense, of course.

I really, really, really want to do a mash up of 'Unfaithful' and, err, 'Cute Without The E' by Taking Back Sunday.

Bluddy hell, do TBS rly have a song called 'Cute without the E'? That's the most ridiculous emo song title ever.

It is the most ridiculously emo song ever. In fact, it may be the song from which all other emo emanates, whether pre- or post- it and since it's subtitle is '(Cut From The Team)' it even covers that jock-misery thing emo's worked itself out for these days.

Sadly it is also quite a good song, in my opinion. It is about cheatin wimmins and the chorus goes 'And will you tell all your friends you've got your gun to my head or is this all only wishful thinking' and basically it is all about how the protagonist's ladyfriend is killing him with her cheating ways and uses nearly the same phraseology as the Rihanna song. I am actually surprised no one has mashed the two up yet, if they haven't. I fully intend to insert 'Teardrops' or something to the meld, should I ever get proficient enough with Soundforge/bored enough to actually do it.
