machotrouts 828 Posted September 23, 2023 I'll admit I liked The Fear at the time – like most of its parent album, it's at least pretty – but the lyrics are very "okay boomer". "Life's about film stars and less about mothers / It's all about fast cars and cussing each other"? It's like Sandi Thom's eviler twin.

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted September 23, 2023 2 hours ago, ladyfiona said: Possibly because the song they love is too low down to be saved by +4 and gone "fuck it lets give Gaga some points". That would make sense if the list expanded; not if it is contracting. If one believes it is the worst of 10 songs it logically can’t become the best of 8 songs in a list that includes the same subset of songs. Nothing new has been introduced to the facts other than a couple songs on the list are missing. You didn’t like the song in comparison to X+2, you are still comparing the song to X. You can’t suddenly like it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can’t suddenly like it. Speaking from a personal perspective, if you go back I'm pretty sure early doors I said I preferred Poker Face of the 3 Gagas. I certainly said it off-forum to someone, if I didn't say it on here (but I think I did). Anyway, Bad Romance shot to the top and was miles in front but then stalled. Poker Face has gained a little bit of ground and proved to have some staying power as others fall, so this morning, I thought I'd see if there's any chance of reversing the fortunes of the Gaga numbers. Bad Romance is holding on, but Poker Face is gaining, so it's going to come down to whether people want to put 2 Gagas through. Personally, I'd prefer 5 or 6 different artists through (they're all good songs) but we'll see. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IMHO, there's nothing wrong with lamenting the vapidity of celebrity culture, which is what the song is satirising. It's not about being a "boomer". 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

machotrouts 828 Posted September 24, 2023 I do accept that every generation has people who think armageddon is on the horizon because women are taking their clothes off too much these days; indeed, the confused elision of this with a critique of capitalism seems very of-The Fear's-time. I think it fell out of fashion by 2013 when 'Hard Out Here' went down like a cup of cold discharge.
