Hell's playlist for June 24, 2002

[BrunoRepublic]

1. Kenny G's monumental insult to artistic integrity, wherein he overdubbed his crappy playing on the late Louis Armstrong's "What A Wonderful World".

3. "Hit 'Em Up Style" -- Blu Cantrell
4. "Oops, I Did It Again!" -- Britney Spears
5. "Iris" -- Goo Goo Dolls
6. "Want You Back" -- Take That
7. "Ritmo De La Noche" -- unsure of artist, but this track was horribly overplayed from 1990 - 1992
8. "Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman?" -- Bryan Adams (oh, and he's one to ask!!)
9. "Santa Baby" -- Madonna
10. Anything else Kenny G (The Michael Bolton of Jazz!) ever put his name on

Now Graham, I just have to ask...
Is Bryan Adams "one of my kind"????

I always suspected...BUT never had any proof. In fact, I was just chatting about this with Mr. Jeff recently. Bryan always reminded me of a "supposedly straight" Castro clone.

Tell all.

P.S. Don't forget that Kenny G. was a member of the fabulous Love Unlimited Orchestra ( I was reminded of this yesterday when I purchased an old LP and saw his name in the credits: He was Kenny Gorlick then).

Here are some more additions of my music hates:

Ween - Push The Little Daisies (I remember watching this on a rewind special and it sound like ABSOLUTE CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!! And the name "Ween" sounds very homeboy if you asked me)

Hurricane Smith - Oh Babe, What Would You Say (YUCK!!! YUCK!!! YUCK!!!)

Veterans - Ain't No Age For Rock'n'Roll (Old farts version of rock'n'roll)

Green Day - King For A Day/Take Back (When my little brother use to flog Green Day's "Nimrod" CD to death it had a lot of crappy songs on it and "King For A Day" sounds really dumb and "Take Back" I think it's called it sounds like puke)

Charlie Daniel's Band - Charlie Daniel's Band (I HATE COWBOY COUNTRY MUSIC!!! YIPPIDY-DOO-DAH YIPPY-KI-YAY YIPPY-YI-YO!!! [whipcrack]!!!)

Salt'n'Pepper - Whatta Man (This song is boring)

Everybody Loves Raymond startup theme (I'm no fan of music of this type)

Billy & Chuck's theme on WWE wrestling (Boy band music, YUCK!!!)

Backstreet Boys - Back Street's Back (Overplayed boy band music)

Human Nature - Stomp (This bloody boy band think they are so cool doing a cover version of a fantastic Brother's Johnson song. No. NO WAY MATE!!! Their version sounds very wussy, they ruined a perfectly good Brothers Johnson song, Human Nature's version should be flushed down the dunnycan [Australian word for "toilet"]. As far as I'm concerned Brothers Johnson's version is the best and kicks Human Nature's arse.)

Meatloaf - I'll Do Anything For Love (Very boring just like "You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth" and just as boring as listening to Richie Benaud commutate cricket)

Lee Kernigan (A very boring Australian country music star who sings dog howling country music)

Chris Isaac - Somebody's Crying (Chris moans way too much and this song is the WORST, it sucks hairy bums!)

Graham:

I agree with you on all your points except one, #5 'Iris' by The Goo Goo Dolls. This song is a beautiful ballad and artistically very well done. Barry White used the concept of a string orchestra to perfection during the Disco era, however, the way John Rezenik composed this song to fit the Goo Goo Dolls alternative sound was incredible. Just my opinion, but unlike most commercial garbage this song stands up and rates, high.

Easy,

There is one ANNYOYING song that I really HATE:

Huckleberry Hound singing "Oh my darlin'"

AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everytime I hear him sing that awful song I feel like ringing his neck 'til his head is bluer than the rest of his body!!!!!

[Blaxman]

Woooow! Funky, calm down man!! :lol:
Life is Beautiful..........if you dont hear that crap, of course! :lol:

Marky, when Kenny G was part of Love Unlimited Orchestra the other musicians did play over his dumb play.........thank god!!! :lol:

BTW, poor sax!! It dont deserves that treatment. :lol:


P.S. I love this topics, Graham!

[Soulman]

As a lover of the sax I could never really understand why I hated Kenny G's playing until I took up the sax myself 5 years ago. I play Tenor, Alto and a straight Soprano like Kenny G's.

I discovered that the reason that he 'grates on me' is because he plays in the high octave virtually all the time as well as playing 50 notes at high speed when 5 would do. Why? Because he can!!! It is difficult to play like that for all soprano sax players, and to my mind, he's just showing off and encouraged by his following of sheep!!! There are many better sax players around, I don't rate Kenny G at all, he does nothing for me.

Incidently, since taking up the sax, I suddenly re-discovered that a great many of my favourite disco records from the 70's were because they contained lots of good sax playing. I hadn't realised this back then.

One of my alltime favourites - John Handy's Hard Work.

Kenny G is poison to my ears!!

The antidote for is: Andrew Woolfolk, sax player from "Earth, Wind & Fire".
BTW: He is great playing soprano sax.

Peace.

Hey Funky,

I have to disagree wit you on this one. HUCKLEBERRY HOUND is great! I love that dog! He's super cool!

Peace,

I don't hate Huckleberry Hound. I use to watch a lot of him when I was a kid and thought the cartoons were great. I just HATE it when he sings that awful "Oh my darlin'" song, it is ANNOYING!!! The strangling Huckleberry bit, I was just trying to be funny with the bluer than blue bit to add the intensity to my anger as I really HATE that song.

Then again I've heard other cartoon characters sing that awful song and they sound just as bad. I guess some 19th century cowboy made that song up. Basically I never ever liked cowboy country music.

[zeca azevedo]

Hey Funky,

well, our Huckleberry Hound is a terrible singer, for sure. Check out a new short film with Huck that's been showed on Cartoon Network. Huck simply destroys the city and drive everybody mad just singing his signature song, "Oh my darlin' Clementiiiine". Very funny stuff, I think you'll like it.

Peace to you and to my darling clementine too.

zeca azevedo, just another lousy country singer

[Funky Dude]

Yeah, I think I remember seeing it on Cartoon Network on Pay TV a while back. Although I kind of forgotten what happened which you mentioned. That song is so bad that I imagine it really would cause some carnage in cities if played real loud in a huge megaphone :lol: .
