IS THERE ANY MORE WEEPY-BULLSHIT SELF-INVOLVED SONG THAN "I JUST WASNT MADE 4 THESE TIMES"?

all of the above

i knew a dude who used to sing this song to himself. he rollerbladed everywhere.

also, three star song at best

There's a PRINCE version?!?

DON'T FUCK WITH THE FORMULA

also: first theremin on pop/rock LP?

it's pretty self-involved, yeah, and one of those self-fulfilled prophesy things, and the song needs a hug and years of therapy. But there are lots of songs like that, surely!

that whole album needs a hug

yes first theremin, a fact that almost got me booted from r&r history class in college (prof said good vibes was, and i was like "um excuse me im obnoxious no no no etc" god i repped for such a lame song. but oh its good though)

"Superman (It's Not Easy)" by Five for Fighting is the most weepy-bullshit self-involved song ever. Bonus points for being on continuous loop at my local grocery store.

wikipedia says: not a theremin, techinically a tannerin or electro-theremin.

:-\

sorry dr king (omg lol not MLKJr)

I listened to this album for the first time only very recently and I've been listening to it a lot this week

I love this song but yeah "sometimes I feel very sad" is a pretty pathetic hook

proto-emo-kid

none of you have known true sadness.

some of us are just defensive about being sad! (im not saying you)

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

And I was just going to vote as well!

"sometimes I feel very sad" is a pretty pathetic hook

I agree, but in that original sense of "pathos," not in the "you're dismissable" meaning of pathetic.

You know what? Sometimes I feel very sad, too. Deal with it.
:)

for the record I voted for logically incoherent

I voted for "yes"

"good vibrations" also a tannerin -

how can you guys complain about "sometimes i feel very sad" being a bad hook? it's the directness coming out of the despair that's so moving. it's beautiful
