Down with the contradictory rockers. You hear what I'm saying? Let's take for example a band from way back in my college days, Seven Mary Three. I won't even go into their name and how ridiculous it is. What the futon does that mean anyways? Seven, is that person? What about Mary? Or is it supposed to be marry? In that case, is Seven marrying three people? And if so, does that make Seven Mormon? At least, old school polygamy Mormon?
Anyways, a lyric swiped from the only song that they wrote that was catchy enough to be played on the radio... Cumbersome.
Too rich or too poor, she's wanting me less
And I'm wanting her more
The bitter taste is cumbersome
Yeah! Ah, yeah, no... yeah. Ohhh.
You see that end part? Yeah! Ah, yeah, no... yeah. Clearly this is a case of contradictory rocking. He can't make up his mind. First he's like Yeah!. But then perhaps he realizes, that no, no Seven doesn't want to marry all three people, so he's like No. But then the guy inside of him is like, three wives, Yeah. Ohhh.
I know there are more contradictory rockers out there. Let's call 'em out, and nail 'em to the walls. Or at least make fun of them.

omg. that is like, so funny. this is my #1 favorite post EVER on the motherfu. U R bitchin', U make me laugh. L8ter.
ohh, no, yeah! i've been spending 2 much time reading the blogs from my jr. highers at church. that's how they talk. with "U"s instead of "You" and "Ewe's" and "2"s instead of "too" or "to" and "4U"s instead of "for you" or "fore you!" and the like.
and i don't know what songs to reference here. but i think that your comment about mormons was funny. and i appreciate that you make a note that you're only mocking old school mormons because to allow anyone to think you may be mocking current mormons would be a contradiction itself ... since there's no such thing.
i'm not sure what i meant by that last sentence. L8ter DAzE.

I always hated that dreadful, dreadful song. It sounded like it had been written specifically to be signed over to ad campaigns 2 years after it was released. In fact, I used to sing to myself:
Too black or too white,
to wrong or too right,
How 'bout tonight,
We have a Coors Light!
How about these lines of poop:
...the sky resembles a backlit canopy with holes punched in it.
... the ocean looks like a thousand diamonds strewn across a blue blanket.
Suck suck suck suck suck. Suck!
The contradiction, you ask? Well, some would contend these bands don't suck.

Caleb - you made this blog. LOL. many times. you are jokie smurf. and the bomb that blew up was my face laughing as i was strung along through your comment. wasn't going to participate in this blog today.. but..
Do you believe in heaven above
Do you believe in love
Don't tell me a lie
Don't be false or untrue
It all comes back to you
Send me an angel
Right now
This mormon song asks if you believe in heaven above and says don't be false or untrue.. I am usually either one or the other.. never both.. and then the request for an angel. Maybe this person just loves So Cal and this song is code for SEND ME BACK TO LOS ANGELES. RIGHT NOW!!
Noah. Send em.

I have no contradictions (though I do have a firm belief that if you can't have the decency or talent to write lyrics, there should be no singing invovled in that portion of the song).
However, as a fan of 70's TV, I feel compelled to inform you that "Seven Mary Three" is a not-so-subtle reference to C.H.I.P.S. It was John's call sign.

I have a confession to make. Creed came on the radio this morning and I didn't immediately change the station.

Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
