Music just dropped another notch
I went to get my hair cut today, and the salon was playing a pop remake of "If I were a Rich Man" from "Fiddler on the Roof." Can someone tell me when music crossed into Down Syndrome territory? Modern music has jumped the shark. That's it... I give up.

You mean the song you heard wasn't actually original? Damn my generation Y-ness.

The song's "Rich Girl" by Gwen Stefani. Theater geeks everywhere dropped instantly into fetal position and rocked gently back and forth..

No no, we took up arms and went looking for the person responsible.

Hooray for importing music from more artistic countries!
"The rest of the poem plays upon that pun. On the contrary, says Catullus, although my verses are soft (molliculi ac parum pudici in line 8, reversing the play on words), they can arouse even limp old men. Should Furius and Aurelius have any remaining doubts about Catullus' virility, he offers to fuck them anally and orally to prove otherwise." - Catullus 16, Wikipedia
I fucking went insane when I heard that, and my gf had to hear me rant on this for like a half hour. I think I heard it on that commercial also Superman, and it's a fucking travesty what they did to one of my favorite songs from my all time favorite musical. Mother fuck. First Stefani sells out and goes from quasi-punk stuff to rap, and now rap remakes of classics, suck my balls.. all of you pop singer douchers.I went to get my hair cut today, and the salon was playing a pop remake of "If I were a Rich Man" from "Fiddler on the Roof." Can someone tell me when music crossed into Down Syndrome territory?

*Rocks back and Forth* At least nobody's doing anything from the Chorus Line........ at least no one is doing anything from the Chorus Line * Rocks back and forth* .The song's "Rich Girl" by Gwen Stefani.

Oh great, so not only did she do a fucking horrible pop version of it, she pissed all over it by changing the title and lyrics. Fuck that cunt. Thanks for contributing to the demise of music, you flat chested bitch!xBlackFlash wrote:The song's "Rich Girl" by Gwen Stefani.

Ok, I'm breathing... Sorry... I really love music and it's painful to see what's happening to it.

Ha! Fools. I stopped listening to tripe like that when...Ja rule or P. diddy or whatever had "It's a hard knock life" Covered. I am immune.
Another example of Generation Y ness....Fiddler on the roof was a play long before a film. *sobs*A film I've never seen, of course. No excuse there on my part.

buddy, we just need to realize that we are well on the way to old farthood. For me the realization came when I noticed I was listening to the Brown University alt rock station far less than I was listening to "Cape Cod's Cool Classics". Boy oh boy was that a scary day.

Well not really, unless you consider 7 years a long time. It first was on stage in 1964, and the movie came out in 1971.Another example of Generation Y ness....Fiddler on the roof was a play long before a film. *sobs* Wink

See if it weren't Fiddler on the Roof, and not catchy in a banal pop sort of way (like most No Doubt music really) I might care. As it is there's nothing really wrong with it nor is it mangling some classic. Now Celine Dion doing " You Shook Me All Night Long" was a horror and a travesty. This is a blip on the radar.
