yeh someone linked to this somewhere.

Not going to lie, the video contributes to its hatefulness quite a bit.  Although I would also think that even someone who tolerates that singing style could recognize that others might find it irritating.

@avclub-043a5755513643c7f4a9cd35380ec33e:disqus  He's probably right more than he is wrong.

Yeah, I mean this is the first Hatesong where I literally can't imagine anyone actually liking the song.  "Suedehead"?  "Smooth"?  Meh and bleah, respectively, but I can understand how someone would enjoy them (only in small doses when it comes to "Smooth", but still).  Hell, even "Believe" by Cher I can just about…

I just assume that anyone I see with a big mouth is Mick Jagger's kid.  And so does Mick!

I don't have much of an opinion on "What's Up," but I was working for Wherehouse records in the early 90's, and the first time the video for Ween's "Push Th' LIttle Daisies" came on—blasting throughout the store—I became so hysterical I literally fell over and couldn't breathe from laughing.  People were staring at…

"I like how the interviewer manages to work in that Perry is actually quite talented."

Miller, I heard it fairly recently too.
I love The National so naturally I troll people by saying Matt Berninger sounds like Crash Test Dummies.

I was wondering if anyone else noticed that. I don't know what an MRA is, but my misogyny bell was definitely jangling by the end of the interview. Although I've been a Ween fan long enough that I probably shouldn't be surprised. The complaining about wimpy, indie music is also a little lacking in self awareness,…

Holy crap, that Crash Test Dummies song. I heard it for the first time in years a while back and was astonished at not just how bad it was, but how tuneless and drab and boring it was. A lukewarm porridge of a song. I'll defend the inexplicable weirdness of 90s alt-radio unto death (fuck yes Detachable Penis) but it's…

Agreed. It makes Edie Brickell's mouth look small.

@avclub-d7f43e1fb2d4977c86163d9b0cb07814:disqus To be fair to this admittedly shitty shitty song, they opted not to name it "What's Going On" because that title was taken by Marvin Gaye.

Mm hmm hmm hmm

Add the Crash Test Dummies song about the boy who got into an accident and lost his hair or what the fuck ever and you've got the holy trinity of alt-rock suck.

Well, you're a dick

is it what guys get when they look for a wife at a community college?

"I could envision the horrible, horrible female that was singing it"

Yeah, that was a highlight, and it illustrates a/the difference between a good HateSong article and a lame one: the person being interviewed will project hate onto anyone who even mildly defends the song in question. Untrammeled loathing.

What really scares me is the music video for the song, as that woman has the biggest mouth I've ever seen.  She's like a goddamned hippopotamus with dreds, playa.

This exchang made me snort:
