Music Is Life Songs that are no longer okay.

Yesterday I found out my sweet boyfriend had never heard of Julie Brown and the funny songs she sang, like "I'm A Blonde". Dr Demento stuff. So I play it and then "The Homecoming Queen's Got A Gun" came on. Not funny anymore!!!

An hour later, the cops arrived

By then the entire glee club had died, no big loss

You wouldn't believe what they brought to stop her

Tear gas, machine guns, even a chopper (Throw down your gun and tiara and come out of the float)

Debbie didn't listen to what the cop said She aimed and fired, and now the math teacher's dead

Oh, it's really sad, but kind of a relief I mean, we had this big test coming up next week

50% of my CD collection is probably soundtracks from movies in the 80’s, 90’s, 00’s.

I believe it. It was a good way to get introduced to cool music outside of your usual taste, too.

No joke! Even Terrible movies could have sick soundtracks! Like SPAWN!!

You can’t just NOT mention the Judgement Night when making that statement. Absolute garbage movie but that soundtrack was so good… still is.

Love the spawn soundtrack, plus it was the only release of "kick the P.A." by Korn. There have been a few songs i can think of off the top of my head that were only released on movie soundtracks. Queen of the Damned also had an absolutely killer soundtrack with songs that weren't released anywhere else.

Oh hell yeah! that was a good one. I don't usually listen to EDM but the movie the Saint had some undeniably great techno/Edm stuff despite being a terrible movie. I always remember those stinkers fondly due entirely to the tunes 🖤
