Hatin' on a hater. Isn't it ironic (don'cha think)?
Dude, you're too old for this shit. Stop trying to appropriate, and find a culture of your own.
Fuck Gary Jules. Headon's right about one thing - he took what is essentially a horribly dated song (with, admittedly great lyrics), slowed it down with piano backing and sang painfully over it. It was then played over the most emotionally affecting part of a great movie, for maximum manipulative-bastard value.
It was released as a single why? Donnie Darko isn't exactly a new release. I'm thinking there must be a Jules album to whore out to the masses, and he's jumping off the only success the pie-eating whelk-faced human bandwagon's ever likely to have.
The Darkness, on the other hand, spend at least ten minutes drunk in the studio cramming all of the gut-wrenching awfulness of Xmas(TM) into one stratospherically rubbish song. It's the sum total - no, the gestalt - of every inane and horrific Xmas Number One (TM) we've ever had. It's a fucking sigil of a song, primed to DESTROY THE WORLD. TM.
Well, actually - it's bollocks, but at least it's Christmassy bollocks, and not manipulative, corrupt and venal. |
