Who Are You People And What Are You Woahing At?
I'll be the first to admit that I have no idea who any of these bands are. I don't know if they're famous, I don't know any of their songs, and I don't even know if they actually exist. Perhaps they're all fabricated for the sake of this video, I really wouldn't know. In some of the clips there are entire stadiums filled with people all singing along to each woah oh oh, but I'm still completely at a loss for who any of these people are.
Am I really that out of touch? I haven't listened to the radio since Clinton was president, but that shouldn't come into it -- It's not like they play music on the radio anymore, anyhow. I knew that my taste in music was pretty underground, but I didn't know It was so far underground that it's housed somewhere between China and the Earth's mantle. It's not like I'm only listening to post-post-indie-rock-core either. I don't sit in my room with the shades drawn listening to wax Edison records of Gregorian chanting from the Sistine Chapel Lounge. Hell, there's a lot of woah oh oh and shadoobie doobie doo in the songs that I listen to, I just seem to have missed a memo or something with all of these newish bands.
Maybe if I hide they'll all go away and I can finally go outside again. If it works for debt collectors and census takers, it'll probably work on these guys too.
You can hide, but you cannot run. Wo wo wo will find you.
ReplyDeleteTry having a tweenage girl, like me. wo wo woah, waoh wowha wo ooo
Hi Casey, thank you for reading and commenting,
ReplyDeleteWhen I breakdown and reproduce, I'll fill my child's head with nothing but the finest shaddoobie-doobie-doo. None of this woah-woah-baby-ooh business. I'll only allow them to listen to bands that have at least four words and excessive punctuation in their names, like: Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Empire! Empire! (I Was A Lonely Estate), and who can forget the classic The World Is A Beautiful Place And I Am No Longer Afraid To Die.
