ChesuMori Shit, I'll never look at him the same now...

Andre's Mini Me.

Literally was just thinking that

ChesuMori lmao yes.

Huh.

I always took it as he is trying to keep in good with her dad.

I thought because of a capitalist system a poor person has less power so you can do what you want. If you anger the rich girl she has more power so you need to watch what you do. Critique on capitalism for me.

@@NoQuarter1995 Bruh it's Mungo Jerry. Your friend from school who was at every party but never brought any weed or alcohol. Keep the commie shit away.

This song is the opposite of Chris Brown's Loyal

I searched the comments after the theatrical release for this.

Like either keep the costumes and makeup or make it a 2D animation of actual cats.

I mean.... Cats is good, it’s a fun little musical, but goddamn that movie missed the fucking mark. Watch the 1998 version not...whatever the 2019 version was

Ayden B. No. Stop. Nobody wants this.

This song’s got nuttin’ on this mutton.

Bri Koala Actually, yeah, "The Sun Also Rises" does have all three. Clearly the singer was a well-read person ;P

You ignore the violence, the politics, and the fact that being a fisherman isn't a sport. It's a profession.

But otherwise... yeah.

Jake in the Sun Also Rises was a foreign correspondent

Bri Koala omg yes!

I wish I could like this more than once xD

That's brilliant! XD

Thanks old guy

@@alistairmackintosh9412 BRUH 😂😂😂

I am also an old guy. And I agree. I remember getting pulled over once, and when I got out of the truck, an empty beer can fell out. The cop didn't say a thing. Then when I went to get back in, a FULL beer fell out, spilling all over the street. The cop rolled his eyes and went on his way.

No, the cars back then didn't blow up when you got in an accident in them. They just popped out the dents in the fender, wiped your brains off the steering wheel, and drove it to the used car lot. "Crumple Zones" were not a thing.

Ive been saying that for years!

Technically, Led Zeppelin had only one top 10 hit in America.

april fools is over but he ought to have done never gonna give you up like he says he never will (as astley had several hits). on second thought, that'd be too obvious

Yeah, that would be cool. Someone like Frank Zappa comes to mind

Milton Pereira Warren Zevon!

Like Mack and the boys from Cannery Row... they're just so damn lovable

I can just picture an old timey cartoon with a bunch of hobos hanging around a can fire in the trainyards having fun with homemade instruments, and this is the tune that they're playing.

Harley Mitchelly or a bunch of hillbillies in dungarees and straw hats sitting on the porch by a river playing washboards and spoons

They're the revelers from Skyrim. They're dudes that just wander the map drunk and give the player a bottle of mead inviting you to drink with them.

I have to admit, I'm probably the one person who's resistant to the charms; something about this poor man's voice makes my skin crawl. That being said, you totally have a point, because as much as I have a visceral "oh god no" reaction to the *music*, I thoroughly enjoy watching these doofuses slap their instruments around.

The classic English psa where a kid gets electrocuted by a power plant

Whenever I watch those lists of "Top 10 Scary PSAs" from Americans I always laugh. Even the relatively tame British ones, ie. from the 2000s on, put those to shame.

alexandra galici Apaches is a classic British PIF.

jonisilk Funny, I remember making a joke at work before about how this song could work for that specific purpose. Didn't think it would've ever happened anywhere though.

Ah, the old bait and switch! Makes the sheer bloody horror all the more traumatising. Effective is right.

That's probably why a whole lotta 70s teens listened to a lot of hard rock/arena rock to escape the shiny sugary pop music being played on AM radio.

@@rockingbirdey Yep. A lot of radios got yanked out of the dash and smashed on the pavement.

And his chops look glued on

he looked like Justice Smith in "the get down" to me the most

I see Andre, I don't see Ross even a little bit.

His hair looks like a fuckin Bike helmet. No white man should have that haircut? NO ONE SHOULD HAVE IT.

Mr Random Bob Ross rocked that whifro...

I'm honestly getting a huge Andre the Giant vibe from him; he was known for his big hair back in the day.

I'm associating him with the Frederic March Mr Hyde from 1931. Just with . . . that hair.

Its interesting when Jewish people are conveniently white and when they aren't. I'm still not sure I know the rules tbh.

Every year since 2016 this seems to have been the same problem over and over. I wonder if we'll finally have another happy summer for 2021

Musically? We at least had Savage and Rain on Me (my pick would be Rain on Me because it’s more thematically appropriate).

At least the music scene of 2020 had the decency to be weird and eclectic rather than uniformly bleak

Literally the Summer of Discontent.

Exactly. If how you wish life where, or what part of your life you wanna focus on in the downtime.

Luga Wonshu Escapism indeed.

Escapism is for people who have problems. For people who don't have problems, there are middlebrow tearjerker melodramas.

AkridHunter they had a hit with witch queen of new Orleans in 1971 before come and get your love

That's a good suggestion! I only recently found out that the entire band was Native American after seeing a video of them. Super unique, especially for the time period.

Malinda Kathleen Reese can make you like "Shape of You" again.

The Wikipedia article for best-selling singles used to say "In The Summertime" sold 30 million. I remember that because that number seemed suspiciously high. Sure it sold a bunch, but the 3rd best selling single of ALL TIME? No way. Its since been changed to say 10 million and that seems more realistic.

Shape of you happens to be among the 4 songs that have sold more that it

Me with the wizard of oz film

@@munjee2 For anyone wondering including SPS for streaming units the list iirc is 1. White Christmas 2. Shape Of You 3. Despacito 4. Light by Xiao Zhan (Biggest hit in China ever) 5. Candle In The Wind 6. In The Summer Time

I remember seeing TV interviews on KZfaq from the 80s (I think) of people saying how “muh rights” are being infringed because the government is cracking on Drinking and driving.

That would be nicer!

you take it too /lit/erally.

I mean a lot of people miss the monstrous elements in Lolita because Humbert uses his education to attempt seduce the reader like he *thinks* he seduced Lolita. There's a reason women have a much stronger reaction to Lolita because men often empathise unconsciously with Humbert, whereas women empathise with Lolita far more strongly. It's not the fault of men, they're taken in by Humbert which was Nabokov's intention. Most men are horrified when they re read it and realise what a monster he was and how he hid it with the beauty of his language. It's a really interesting book because of that.

“Gentlewomen of the jury...” ugh, I adore that novel. Problematic subject matter; purely batshit amazing style. It’s just impeccable writing... as good as Gatsby, and longer / more poetic. One of the greatest novels I’ve ever read, imo.

It's possible that Mungo Jerry was more familiar with the Kubrick film than the novel. It's a bit less sleazy than the novel due to 60's censorship. Like he said in the video, you wouldn't really expect them to put a lot of literary references in their songs.

@Bob Bobbertson if you read Lolita because you want pre-pubescent titillation then you're going to be very, very disappointed. The books most famous sex scene is a 50 year old man forcing himself on a crying 14year old who is mourning her deceased mother and has literally no one else in the world and just let's it happen. It is dark, monstrous, uncomfortable, uncompromising and horrifying. "I've not read it, I'm not a pedo" is a ridiculous thing to say about Lolita because it depicts peadophilia as the most horrible and evil thing a person could do to another human being. Lolita ends up a broken, empty vessel with nothing in the world who is eventually disgarded by the men chasing her for being "too old" at just 19. Humbert Humbert, the narrator, writes the book as a message to the jury and he believes that his education and wealth will save him. He writes in a beautiful complex prose, and at any opportunity will try and manipulate you into agreeing with him or hide his misdeeds by claiming that "She seduced me". He's an unreliable narrator, but as time goes on you realise that his mask is slipping and that he's not the elite, rich, educated individual he's trying to present but a remorseless monster who groomed and raped a child and doesn't give a fuck about her beyond that. The reason "Lolita" as a name becomes so important is because he knows fuck all about her outside of that and often just repeats her name and when she does behave like herself, like a person, he finds her annoying and becomes angry at her for being a real person and not just a living fantasy doll for his desires. Seriously dismissing Lolita as a "peado book" as you're doing is ridiculous. A book about a man seducing a child would not be considered one of the greatest literary works of the twentieth century. A book about a manipulative, unreliable monster trying to convince the reader he's not that and that "she wanted it as much as me" might though. I'll put it another, far more succinct way - the way Humbert and other peadphiles groom children? That's what Humbert as the narrator is doing to the reader of the book. For the duration of the book you are experiencing the same manipulation and madness that Lolita did. You are the person he's grooming.

Somebody had to say it out loud, lord knows the rest of us were thinking it 🤷🏾

And 2020 ain't no great shakes either!

Goodness knows, when I add it to my barroom setlist, something tells me it will be a memory awakening to every listener.

You know it's a boomer generation song, right?

happyMOO5 It sounds like that because the British have always seemed to have a love for black music like blues, jazz, and rock, and it comes out in their sound. Even more than it would come out in a less pop-aspiring 50s or 60s act, which could be a lot. Think Eddie Cochran, The Everly Brothers, Benny Goodman, Wild Cherry. I guess that brit rock bands I haven't seen are black a lot, and I'm usually wrong. And the accents are suprisingly similar. At least between the UK and New Orleans. And at least for the 'lower-class' accents. There's something that brings their differentness together that I can't put my finger on.

You can thank World War II for that.

We can also thank it for curry, Asian migration afterwards birthed basically all curry cuisine in the UK and it's delicious.

Well you saw the pictures of the original of these bands...they consisted of Black people. This music and style comes from somewhere, you werent wrong on that instinct.

The Archies do not count as a one-hit wonder group.

First 45 I ever owned. IIRC, it was given to me by an aunt, it was this red plastic 45 that I was able to play on my Fisher Price record player. I drove my parents batty playing that thing incessantly. From what I remember, the disc mysteriously "disappeared". I have really fond memories of that song, thanks for bringing it up!

The Monkees were happy to cash in on a raft of bubble gum hits, but Sugar Sugar was even too much for them. But their musical supervisor, Don Kirschner, believed in the song, and created the non existent Archies to sing it. The rift over Sugar Sugar hastened the Monkees breakup with Kirschner and that was the end of the Monkees.

@@richacello339 Michael Nesmith reportedly punched a hole through the wall because he hated that song so much and refused to sing it!

Probably how Todd seems to remember it with burps and farts.
