it would sound like yanni but worst

― Dude (The Yellow Dart), Friday, 23 January 2004 23:52 (twenty-two years ago)

But there is only one Yanni.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Friday, 23 January 2004 23:52 (twenty-two years ago)

they would sound like free with honky tonk stylings

Shit sandwich.

― Llahtuos Kcin (Nick Southall), Friday, 23 January 2004 23:57 (twenty-two years ago)

with urine sauce

― Dude (The Yellow Dart), Friday, 23 January 2004 23:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Jay-Z

― jack cole (jackcole), Friday, 23 January 2004 23:59 (twenty-two years ago)

My prediction is, as per the SP - "We Fuck The Lot!"
Will sound nothing like Faith No More, however.

Pantera!!!!!

― Jon Williams (ex machina), Saturday, 24 January 2004 00:03 (twenty-two years ago)

Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.

― Llahtuos Kcin (Nick Southall), Saturday, 24 January 2004 00:05 (twenty-two years ago)

A band with Blair on vox, like Pantera?

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Saturday, 24 January 2004 00:08 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh, and the answer is blatantly Ocean Colour Scene. the song would be 'Make The Deal'. Number 1, like, everywhere.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Saturday, 24 January 2004 00:08 (twenty-two years ago)

Time after time you told me it was the truth
Time after time you lied to me through your tooth
How can you sing when everyone writes your song
You think you pull the strings and I get strung along

Ba, ba, ba, ba

So cry, won’t you cry
You should have saved that for youth
And does it elevate the stakes
When you try to find the truth

In the real world they make real deals
And it hurts your cause and it clips your heels
And I would not hesitate
To say that I will not be here again
In the real world

It’s not my way to slap you in the face
When it seems your way to spell dis with a grace
Where are your friends theyr’ll moving on
Why do you get paid when everyone writes your song

In the real world but you make the deals
And it hurts some more till you just can’t feel
And I would not hesitate
To say that I will not be here again
Save the real world for the suits in the cells
Who only think they’re free when freedom sells
And I would not hesitate
To say that I will not be here again
In the real world

wtf?!

― Llahtuos Kcin (Nick Southall), Saturday, 24 January 2004 00:13 (twenty-two years ago)

A Jeff Lynne solo record.

― M@tt He1geson (Matt Helgeson), Saturday, 24 January 2004 00:15 (twenty-two years ago)

'Make The Deal', by Ocean Colour Scene. #35, September 2003. I have heard it, you haven't. You win.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Saturday, 24 January 2004 00:16 (twenty-two years ago)

A Jeff Lynne solo record.
-- M@tt He1geson

M@tt, why are you so certain it'd be quite that, erm, good?

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Saturday, 24 January 2004 00:19 (twenty-two years ago)

it would sound like the song "Tony Blair" by Halo Perfecto.

― Ian Johnson (orion), Saturday, 24 January 2004 00:20 (twenty-two years ago)

"My name is Blair! And I am spunky!"

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Saturday, 24 January 2004 00:22 (twenty-two years ago)

okay maybe not Jeff Lynne....I'm trying to come up with somebody that has Britishness along with the rootsier MOR american stuff that Dubya prolly likes....also that could encompass some mainstream country....

― M@tt He1geson (Matt Helgeson), Saturday, 24 January 2004 00:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, that'd be more like it. I'm afeared.

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Saturday, 24 January 2004 00:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Today's Metallica crossed with the latter-day Oasis ...and ...?

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Saturday, 24 January 2004 00:41 (twenty-two years ago)

...that pc country component yet to be confirmed, surely. but anything else?

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Saturday, 24 January 2004 00:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Shellac

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Saturday, 24 January 2004 01:19 (twenty-two years ago)

Creed

Tony Blair: E.L.O [70s bloated britrock] crossed with Darkness [faux popularity British rock], mixed by Dubya - [slick pompous american rock] Chicago/ Toto/ Journey/ Huey Lewis

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Saturday, 24 January 2004 01:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Well done, Martian. I gather you're also one to shed theoretical light on the thusly sounding music's possible chart action worldwide.

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Saturday, 24 January 2004 01:27 (twenty-two years ago)

"...thusly sounding music's possible chart action worldwide. "

It'll bomb, but Blair and Dubya will both insist it's still Number 1 on the charts months after everyone's completely forgotten about it.

― Shakey Mo Collier, Saturday, 24 January 2004 01:29 (twenty-two years ago)

B-b-but it will be, however briefly, numero uno at least in Poland and Turkey? and Japan, no?

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Saturday, 24 January 2004 01:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Sorry - that's classified information.

Bush has ensured that any commercial claptrap rock track backed with RIAA interests will be played on US radio - as the Clear Channel corp controls the playlists of hundreds of stations. I am sure Bush has Republican friends there - to nudge, wink - get the track playlisted.

casey kasem would come out of retirement wearing a patterned jumper - counting down the top 20, and say it's great - a transatlantic smash.

In Britain, it would be used on TV political ad slots for the labour party, Blair - would conduct Focus group research - to find out which mix would sell best, then brainwash the masses with ads on Virgin radio and in Q magazine - double page ad spread, he would hire a PR consultant to ensure that the NME would create a big news feature. He would be interviewed by Radio 2 ensuring middle-aged men are aware of the single on the day of release.

The British masses would buy it - as Brits do buy shite by the truckload cross ref: Stereophonics, The Darkness, Travis.

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Saturday, 24 January 2004 01:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Lies.

― Nom De Plume (Nom De Plume), Saturday, 24 January 2004 01:54 (twenty-two years ago)

who replaced casey?

― Ian Johnson (orion), Saturday, 24 January 2004 03:41 (twenty-two years ago)

Climie Fisher, obviously.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Saturday, 24 January 2004 04:01 (twenty-two years ago)

The Second Week of Deer Camp - but in a serious way

See if Blair was on vocals and Dubya was doing the production I would assume that Cheney would be doing all the song writing but it the songs would be attributed to Bush/Cheney. Oh and they'd sound kind of like Kid Rock.

― Mike Salmo (salmo), Saturday, 24 January 2004 19:47 (twenty-two years ago)

They would obviously sound like a right-wing Mamas and Papas tribute band.

― jel -- (jel), Saturday, 24 January 2004 19:51 (twenty-two years ago)

In any case, I bet they'd tour with the Taliban(d) then deny it.
