every "clever" country song whether the title is the only good lyric

TFC's other one as well that goes "I'm in love with you, I'm in love with you, and I know that its you" til your head hurts.

(I like TFC mind you).

"Every picture tells a story, don' it?"

Rod Stewart, title track of his 1971 solo album

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Thursday, 18 August 2005 07:55 (twenty years ago)

Was that him? I always wondered. Obviously I know his album was called that, but the track sounded more like the Jackson Five at the time...

whether

argh, i meant "where"

"Donovan" by Atlantis

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Thursday, 18 August 2005 08:16 (twenty years ago)

'Katy Song ' Red House Painters.

Go get yourself some RHP if you haven't heard them. Massively over emotional overblown blubbercore BUT one or two great tunes in there with some lovely alt. tuned guitars

Guaranteed to stifle the party

― Jessie the Drunk Dutch Mountain Dog (Jessie the Drunk Dutch Mountai), Thursday, 18 August 2005 10:59 (twenty years ago)

Nick Cave - "The Mercy Seat" (album version) - I think it's something like 14 chorus repeats at the end.

― Matt #2 (Matt #2), Thursday, 18 August 2005 11:09 (twenty years ago)

Are all these choruses still going on now?

― dmun drive-in (dmun), Thursday, 18 August 2005 13:35 (twenty years ago)

Yes.

"Flashlight"!

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 18 August 2005 13:52 (twenty years ago)

I WISH "Flashlight" was never-ending.

― n/a (Nick A.), Thursday, 18 August 2005 13:53 (twenty years ago)

Any Survivor-era Destiny's Child song.

"(Put Your) Hands On Me" - Sinead O'Connor

― The Ghost of Black Elegance (Dan Perry), Thursday, 18 August 2005 13:54 (twenty years ago)

Cockney Rebel - "Tumbling Down"

I love the live version on "Face To Face" where, after the band has left the stage, the audience continues to sing for another few minutes.

Oh dear, look what they've done to the blues, blues, bluuueesss...

― Daniel Peterson (polkaholic), Thursday, 18 August 2005 13:55 (twenty years ago)

Fishbone have a shit ton of never-ending choruses! "Housework", "Party At Ground Zero", "Ugly", "Everyday Sunshine", "In The Cube", "Premadawnutt", and more!

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 18 August 2005 14:01 (twenty years ago)

The Police - "I Can't Stand Losing You," "Message In A Bottle"

You can get stuck inside a vicious verse-chorus loop with "Yesterday" if you don't know how to get out of it (they both lead into each other)

The Buzzcocks "I Believe"

That "I wanna be the only one" thing that not only goes on forever but key changes every single joyless fucking time.

― On one hand I've got myself to blame (Lynskey), Thursday, 18 August 2005 15:43 (twenty years ago)

At least half of the songs on that LP do that ad-nauseum thing. Also too many songs on Songs In The Key Of Life.

"Lust for Life" aka The Song that Never Ends.

Most Stooges songs (not so much Iggy solo) are great, powerful, fantastic, and about 3 minutes too long.

― JAS, Thursday, 18 August 2005 16:24 (twenty years ago)

The Figgs, "Tint"

we should start up a collection to fund a room somewhere where "flashlight" never does end...it'd beat Disneyland hands down.
