Only Joking.

A real request:

Do you have records that you love but with lyrics that make you want to vomit? Step forward for retribution, Mr. Paul Buchanan.

So then, The Blue Nile. Pete or Dud?

Answering your first question first -- the dust-covered goth in me still has all my Mission stuff around. But in no human way possible can any of Wayne Hussey's lyrics be called remotely good.

On a general level, if I named all the metal and hip-hop stuff that sounds fantastic were it not for the dribbling incontinence of the lyrics getting in the way all the time, we'd be here all day. ;-)

As for the Blue Nile, I like 'em -- but I can't say the lyrics ever struck me one way or another.

I forgot to mention Isaac Hayes cover of 'Let's go out tonight' which is the funniest record ever by about a trillion miles, and proves that BN tunes can have EVEN WORSE lyrics grafted on . . .

Aw, come on. Vonda rocks, in a horsey sort of way. She's one mean rock n' roll bitch, and you know it. Better than the Go-Betweens anyway. The Blue Nile? Pah! Yuppie crap.

As I've just said somewhere else round here, Jay-Z.
