Best Album Title From This Fake Columbia House Ad (Not Actually A Poll)

I couldn't be bothered to create an actual poll, so just read/enjoy/discuss.

I know there are flashier options but I'm going with Gordon Lightfoot - Just So Depressing

Ferrante & Teicher You Won't Buy This One made me laugh because when I was a kid my grandma had about six of their albums.

Fleetwood Mac - We're All Fucking or Eric Clapton - Technically Proficient

Cat Stevens - Sure, You Like Me Now because it's funny though I don't understand the joke.

just because i like it

fuck to this, whitey all day.

xxp cat stevens converted to islam and iirc endorsed the fatwa against rushdie, though later claimed he was joking, and also supposedly donated to hamas (no idea if true)

all of which i imagine made him more popular in some circles and less so in others

Hard to top Roy Clark Er-HYUCK! imo. Tip of the hat to Zardoz Original Soundtrack though.

I know Cat Stevens' history, but I assumed this parody was actually from about 1977, before he had converted (in public at least).

ah ok, interesting because i just assumed it was a contemporary parody

The Zardoz soundtrack actually kinda slaps iirc

Passing around a transphobic Wendy Carlos joke C/D?

At some point you're going to learn the difference between a joke based on observation of something true and one based on a negative judgment on someone's personhood. It'll be a good day for you. (For example: to middle-aged straight-guy me, the Bowie joke seems more homophobic than the Carlos joke is transphobic.) But for now, have your drive-by sneer. It's clearly your last remaining raison d'être at this point.

Othering and deadnaming to make a joke where transitioning is the punchline is not in the service of something true, but enjoy your meme

i just had a post typed in here that would've most likely gotten me flagged and perhaps even banned, so i'll not do that. instead i'll just say this: if nipples could sing is far worse than anything else mentioned, if we're going that route. but we shouldn't even be going that route.

I liked the Carpenters one.

This is clearly all from some time ago.

this obviously isn't from the 70s, why would it say vinyl and cassettes are dying formats and Gary Glitter wasn't busted until 1997.

potentially fun thread ruined in record time

Technically Proficient made me laugh hardest

<i>Passing around a transphobic Wendy Carlos joke C/D?</i>

Possible replacement: Wendy Carlos: At Least It's Not Another Stupid Moog Pun?

deep ignorance on display re: kc & the sunshine band.

this obviously isn't from the 70s, why would it say vinyl and cassettes are dying formats and Gary Glitter wasn't busted until 1997.

Not to mention the "2014" + Tumblr address in the corner.

Then I guess the joke in the Cat Stevens title is, "You won't like me when I convert to Islam", which isn't all that funny.

I'll take Leon Russell- POUND THEM KEYS or Joe Cocker - IS HE OK

(For example: to middle-aged straight-guy me, the Bowie joke seems more homophobic than the Carlos joke is transphobic.)

v warped perspective

wendy carlos joke is a deadname joke, it's transphobic

I accept and defer to your judgment on this issue. What do you think of the other 57 jokes?

xxxp no, it's really not that funny at all, though it's at least a tiny bit funnier than when cat stevens jokingly endorsed the fatwa against salman rushdie, which, oddly enough, was actually back in the news last month (stevens claimed he was framed by the media and rushdie wasn't buying it)

none of these are funny, sorry

gotta go with brimstead here

Best for me is Charlie Rich, In Name Only, which might be a comment on his 70s velveteen soap opera phase, like it's not really the great and less successful, realer CR---but whatever, actually works as a title from that era, like an early Bill 'n' Hilary/re-The Good Wife theme, not that it couldn't apply to a lot of other marriages.
Glenn Campbell did have some trouble with the 'cohol 'n' 'caine for a while, as I'll Punch You In The Face reminds me.
F. Mac and EC ones real good, yeah, and let's not forget Bob Dylan's classick Incoherent Road.

*pre*-The Good Wife theme song, I meant.

I really want to hear Dang, That’s Hot

Zardoz?
