Teenage Failboat, Random Stuff
For some reason I ended up seeking out songs I used to listen to as a kid on youTube. Great hilarity followed. Jesus, I had no taste as a kid.
The three highlights. Because, you know. Hilarity.
Blue - Eiffel 65
Okay, so I'm guessing most people know this one. It was released in '99, which would have made me thirteen years old. I wasn't the electronic music type at all, but this song's just catchy. Now, it mostly makes me laugh because it's so the Doctor. Everything he sees is blue, he lives in a blue house, even his suit is blue. His damn Vespa is blue. 'Cause he ain't got nobody to listen.
Join Me In Death - Him
Him's first hit. Also released in '99 - it must have been the year of bad song releases. You need to watch this and revel in the unadulterated emo that they so innocently displayed back then. It's hilarious. Also, I love how the lyrics don't fit the metric at all. 'Our lives have just bee-gun.' Oh yes.
If you make it to the end, pay attention to the little *gasp* he does. He's all, 'Baby, join me in deeeaaaath' - *gasp*. It's hilarious.
EVEN IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED THE OTHER ONES, WATCH THIS NEXT ONE. I PROMISE YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED.
Fell In Love With An Alien - The Kelly Family
In my defense, I must point out that this song was released in 1996, and I was therefore an innocent 10-year-old girl who just didn't know any better. And even back then, I thought it was kind of a silly song - but I had a friend who had wallpapered her room in Kelly Family posters, and was in love with Paddy, so their music kinda seeped into my play list. Their songs are damn catchy, if nothing else. I still get this one in my head from time to time.
It's a gem. The alien, and the kid who falls in love with her, and the terrible countryside setting and the fact that he ends up spawning a huge family with her. (He's such a Sue. ;) )
So what are your most embarrassing secrets when it comes to what you listened to as a (pre-)teenager?
Summary of other more or less interesting things:
- If my icon confuses you, you are missing out. Their love is epic.
- I want this. Yes. Please.Master. This pastede-on hat shouldn't look so sexy.
- I watched The Devil's Whore, and apart from the Devil, who was just badly done, it's quite awesome. I burst out laughing every time someone called Simm Sexby, though. Why yes, I am five. Also, Sexby is so the Master. Such a hard-on for war, I was waiting for him to go tapping his fingers: da-da-da-dun. The main character is quite awesome as well, I like her a lot. Will watch again. (Oh, and and, most important: Guh.)
AND LOOK. SIMMY SIMM HAS A TAG NOW. I hope he knows what a privilege that is. So far, only the David has had an individual tag on this journal.
That's it, really. Will go watch Merlin now.

Heh, Korn was back in the late '90s for me before nu metal really hit the scene - such as it was - in our parts. The year 2000 I spent listening to Slipknot's self titled album almost exclusively... well, that and a bunch of much mellower stuff - I got my hands on The Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack that same year, so yeah, my taste, very eclectic.
But, well, at least neither of us has Britney Spears *shudders* or some boy bands in our pasts. (I did discover a liking for "East 17" after they all but went out of the spotlight, but one CD doesn't count, right? ...<.<...>.>... ) And, oooh, German music just reminded me of the
discodance music years - DJ Bobo! *g* ...What? Like I'm the only barely-teen who thought that once upon a time thatdiscodance was the best thing evar. ETA: Let's just pretend I didn't make that slip, OK? *headdesk*no subject
I'm generally not a huge friend of rock that's too poppy. And I'm not fond of rock getting to electronic/synthesized either. What can I say, I'm difficult ;). Nu Metal and Alternative is alright - I'm kinda fond of early Korn and some Marilyn Manson, and Incubus is not all bad - but Slipknot... meh. I prefer Stone Sour, lol. I also like some Black and Death Metal, as long as it's not too hard core - In Flames is alright, so is Opeth. I've got some Indie in my play list as well, but most Indie, especially the newer stuff, is just boring. I'm not sure where to fit in the Chili Peppers and Tool, so those two are getting a separate mention, because I love them both a lot. Fandom has kind of ruined my taste in music, though, which is how things like Cobra Starship's Snakes on a Plane has found its way into my music folder ;).
Wow, oops. Went a little tl;dr there. Sorry. And no, no boy bands for me, and no blonde chick pop singers either. I have a Celine Dion album, but it was given to me. (Honest.) And oh, yeah, I have one Eminem album, although I'm absolutely not into rap and hip-hop. I'm not sure what I was thinking when I bought it, but I still do like to listen to it from time to time. (Mostly when I hate the world and feel like I want to kill people.)
Oh god, DJ Bobo. *shudders* What I remember of that era/genre is Mr President's Coco Jambo. I was thirteen, and the song was awesome. Back then. Watching the vid now, I should probably have put it into my post. ;)

Hey, talking old music with you is fun! (But not Slipknot? Srsly? I was never into metal - the guitar solos get a bit repetitive - but Eminem, him I liked. Enough to never buy an album, and then years later be disappointed by 8 Mile's soundtrack. Ugh. But I do have the flick burnt to DVD somewhere, and I might just rewatch the final rapping show-offing, because oldschool rap like that is cool. ...I'll stop with this before I end up admitting that I lived and breathed for "Jem" when I was 7 years old - and if there ever was any pop-y-er rock than Jem's soundtrack, it was probably another cartoon aimed at pre-teen girls as well. *hides*)
