Bits of Poptimist Business

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

How orga is my fun? How? How? HERE'S HOW - a new weekly Poptimists schedule so we can, "keep it regular".

Monday: Now poll (& Poptimists charts)
Tuesday: BOSH OF THE WEEK
Wednesday: Pop World Cup!
Thursday: Now poll
Friday: Winner Stays On.

Except I won't be posting this week's bosh until I get home.

I received my first Pop World Cup submission last night - IT IS EXCELLENT! I will not prejudice results by saying whose it was though. I have not yet decided which ridiculously complex fair and user-friendly voting system to use.

Bonus poll:
[Poll #653995]

Question of thee day: are there any really good songs about how other songs or music aren't good? "I Don't Know Where It Comes From" by Ride - unspeakable. "All The Records On The Radio Are Sh1te" by Ballboy - unpalatable. "Funk Pop A Roll" by XTC - erm chalk it down to guilty pleasures. WHEREAS songs about how other songs and music are GREAT are often good! i.e. "Music" by John Miles. Maybe.

Also the lyrics to the Ride record are proving elusive. However it is one of the most outstandingly hypocritical songs ever so I might have to upload it just to quiet the bee in my bonnet.

The lyrics to Funk Pop A Roll however are available. Emphasis mine on the most r%ck!st line of all time!

Funk pop a roll beats up my soul
Oozing like napalm from the speakers and grill
Of your radio
Into the mouths of babes
And across the backs of it’s willing slaves

Funk pop a roll consumes you whole
Gulping in your opium so copiously from a disco
Everything you eat is waste
But swallowing is easy when it has no taste

They can fix you rabbits up
With your musical feed
They can fix you rabbits up
Big money selling you stuff that you do not need

Funk pop a roll for fish in shoals
Music by the yard for the children they keep
Like poseable dolls
The young to them are mistakes
Who only want bread but they’re force-fed cake

Funk pop a roll the only goal
The music business is a hammer to keep
You pegs in your holes
But please don’t listen to me
I’ve already been poisoned by this industry!

Funk pop a roll beats up my soul
