So I was imagining a compilation in which each and every song described an unpopular high-school archetype - derogatorily, if possible - and I actually got to thinking I'd like to make said CD.

So, bring your best for the comp - a standard 80 minute. And I'm thinking that the CD might aquire some sort of poignancy if I were able to find songs from my own alternatively misspent adolescence, say 1989-1996. But not exclusively

Beck - Loser
Eels - Beautiful Freak
Garbage - Queer

more?

Cracker - Loser

― j e r e m y (x Jeremy), Sunday, 20 June 2004 01:48 (twenty-two years ago)

I hesitate recommending this to anyone, but that damn Crash Test Dummies song "Mmm Mmm Mmm" would fit in well.

Radiohead - "Creep" is perfect for this too.

Marc Almond - Beautiful Losers

― Amarga (Amarga), Sunday, 20 June 2004 01:53 (twenty-two years ago)

heh, Gear, there's a thread connex. re. the Crash Test Dummies song. When I was like 15 I used to listen to it with the lows and highs cranked and the mids squashed down to try to drown out the vox.

Garbage (again) -- Stupid Girl

― Barry Bruner (Barry Bruner), Sunday, 20 June 2004 02:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Damn....if I stuck with playing music I COULD have had a chance! And at every base.

― cRaiG (craig!), Sunday, 20 June 2004 07:02 (twenty-two years ago)

just about anything from "the defeated" by new waver fits the bill. weird, upbeat electronic music with sampled dialogues of harassment and nerddom.

Girls Against Boys - Freaks
Screeching Weasel - Teenage Freakshow

KORN - FAGET

― Mike Ouderkirk (Mike Ouderkirk), Monday, 21 June 2004 12:30 (twenty-two years ago)

wait - are you serious? theres a korn song called faget?

― peter smith (plsmith), Monday, 21 June 2004 12:50 (twenty-two years ago)

i thought that was just how dumb people spelled faggot.

― peter smith (plsmith), Monday, 21 June 2004 12:51 (twenty-two years ago)

It being the title of a Korn song doesn't make that any less of a possibility.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 21 June 2004 12:54 (twenty-two years ago)

No class, no job
I'm just a victim of society a slob
No ass, no head
I gotta go home and jack off instead

No mind, no kind
My brain is jelly and my memory is blind
No way, no way
I cannot live in a world this gay

― scott seward (scott seward), Monday, 21 June 2004 13:02 (twenty-two years ago)

You gotta include this one: Elastik Band - Spazz.

― briania (briania), Monday, 21 June 2004 13:16 (twenty-two years ago)

oh my god i love spazz so much

― peter smith (plsmith), Monday, 21 June 2004 13:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, what a great song. Given the band name, it must be more than coincidence that it sounds so much like Beefheart. Anybody know the Elastik Band story?

― briania (briania), Monday, 21 June 2004 13:26 (twenty-two years ago)

tell me which ones you eventually choose, huh?

― doc, Monday, 21 June 2004 15:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Marilyn Manson - "The Beautiful People"

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 21 June 2004 16:10 (twenty-two years ago)

allmusic calls the elastik band offensive, doesnt it? when did spazz/spaz change from meaning epileptic/handicapped person to meaning generic freak?

― peter smith (plsmith), Monday, 21 June 2004 16:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Nirvana--Negative Creep
Dead Kennedys--Ill In The Head

― Stephen Boyle (SBoyle), Monday, 21 June 2004 16:55 (twenty-two years ago)

New Model Army's "Ballad Of Bodmin Pill". One of the best songs ever by one of the best bands ever--fits the bill, too.

― John 2, Sunday, 27 June 2004 04:17 (twenty-one years ago)

frank zappa owns this thread, y'all do realize that?

"hungry freaks, daddy"

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Sunday, 27 June 2004 04:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Sebadoh- Jaundice

― dialecticbricks (dialecticbricks), Monday, 28 June 2004 00:32 (twenty-one years ago)

The Fall's '10 Points' should obviously be the centrepiece of the CD.

― Sasha (sgh), Monday, 28 June 2004 00:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Not Janis Ian's "At Seventeen"?

― j.lu (j.lu), Monday, 28 June 2004 01:12 (twenty-one years ago)

the verlaines 'jesus, what a jerk'

― keith m (keithmcl), Monday, 28 June 2004 01:14 (twenty-one years ago)

Well, it's way too early for your range, but "Your Daughter Is One" and "Damn Dog" from The Times Square soundtrack.

― Sara Sherr, Monday, 28 June 2004 05:32 (twenty-one years ago)

"wait - are you serious? theres a korn song called faget?
-- peter smith (plsmit...), June 21st, 2004"

yeah, it's about how jonathan davis (korn's singer) was teased and taunted in high school for being a new wave lovin' sissy.

my own song to nominate would be "Mommy Can I Go Out and Kill Tonight" by the Misfits.

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Monday, 28 June 2004 06:39 (twenty-one years ago)
