A comedian riffing a tonne of jokes hoping half of the stick paired with past-their-prime movie star slash walking corpse partner sucking the air out of the room?  How is this not Cop Out 2?

Turns out they were only famous for more than one song in America, and in the UK, 'Semi Charmed Life' wasn't even that big of a hit.  (#33)

"You Suck", "Everything About You", "Lump", "What's Up?", "You Oughta Know", "Zombie', "Sex and Candy", "Breakfast At Tiffanys" = all equally as awful as We Built This City and Sussuddio, which at least have being 80's as half the reason they're so shit.

I've always liked it, but I was just struck listening to it last night at how … broken… it is from a song-writing perspective.  McCartney's bass is basically the instrument telling the rest of the band what the chords actually are, and makes me suspect he deserves a co-composition credit.

You know who else liked this song and "jumper?"

It's sadder that such a shitty band sold 12 million records.

I doubt Jason has a sword.  Vagina fight?

Part of the problem is it has to have been mainstream enough that the majority of the population would have some idea what song you're talking about.  The feature doesn't really work unless the readers go "Oh yes, I hate that one!" or "Hey, that song's not that bad.  Why would anyone hate it?"

I'd venture more people know the words to Uncle Fucka than any of Turd Eye Blinds songs.

There's an entire genre of music I think of as 'American Douchebag Rock'.  I identify them by shutting my eyes as I listen and imagining if it can soundtrack the following scenes without seeming out of place.

I bought a vinyl copy at a garage sale on the weekend, and was listening last night, and suddenly came to the realisation that… of all things… 'I Want To Tell You' isn't a very good song.

I can't really hate dance music, because it's impossible to take seriously to start with.  It's disposable by nature, you know?

Repeating my point from above:

I never heard any of those songs.  No-one I know has ever played them, or spoken about the band as anything other than a one hit wonder, and I know a tonne of musicians.

Smash Mouth deserve a kicking but it'd have to be for more than one song.

They really had one more than one song?  People really know who the lead singer is?  How did I miss all this?  Am I in bizarro AV Club?

Is he really A Thing?  I feel like everyone is pulling my leg that the lead singer of some crappy one hit wonder band is a name we're expected to know.

The irrational, hysterical hatred produced in the PC set by those who step out of group-think conformity fascinates me.  It *seethes* with a sense of personal superiority over the transgressor, and a desire to seem them both punished and endure suffering so they learn their place and that they should repent.

According to the tedious Social Justice Bloggers dominating online discourse, I've learnt that your statement could be considered Ageist, Lookist, Fat-phobic, Misanthropic and obvious fear of a successful, powerful woman.  You need to man up and check your white male privilege.

The internet more and more feels like 1984's Two Minute Hate.  We're fucked if anything ever seriously challenges us as a society, because half the population will be on the fainting couch whilst the other half tries shaming the problem.
