The Popular-to-Pants correlation...
Aug. 1st, 2008 11:40 amI had a theory this morning whilst driving to work and listening to the radio. It's quite simple:
1) All great bands or music artists, no matter how talented, have had one truly pants [1] song, and...
2) That pants [1] song is their most popular song. [2]
In evidence, off the top of my head, I offer:
- The Cure, "Friday, I'm In Love"
- Bjork, "It's So Quiet"
- Cake, "I Will Survive"
And so on. So, over to you. What truly pants [1] song has your favourite band done, which has inexplicably been their most popular?
[1] "pants" in the UK vernacular, meaning lame, naff or awful
[2] There's often a third rule - the band refuses to perform the song at their live performances, because they hate it so much.

amandapillar... I can't remember the last time anyone tagged me for one of these, so I suppose I'll have to play along. :)

Spamalot was a hoot and a holler. Especially as we'd bought the cheapest balcony seats we could get (15 quid), but because the house wasn't fully booked, they closed the balcony and moved us into the stalls, so we ended up nine rows from the front with a totally unimpeded view of the stage. Awesome!We laughed. We sung. We laughed some more. We bought the t-shirt. Fun!
The one disappointment is that Tim Curry was no longer playing Arthur, instead it was played by Simon Russell Beale, who was very good, but I was hankerin' for a bit of Curry, y'know?
In further news, thanks for the heads-up,
zarabee, I opened the blinds this morning and saw London covered in snow! The first time since we've been here!( EDIT - photos taken from our window below the cut! )
