He's from Canada. I was working a manual job around 2003-2004 and had to listen to 98.1 CHFI in Toronto, the worst blandest motherfucking cocksucking piece of shit "soft rock" in existence. I still puke every time I hear the name of the station.
No, he was recording in last times when sanity existed. Ahead was more stupidity, idiocracy and less freedom of speech and freedom in general. Now in idiocratic times, he wouldn't be able to record his stuff as he would like, cause SJW locusts would constantly attack him and label with everything, causing problems and trying to punish him for being "offensive" ...
@@sofuckingannoying this was the prime time death of the late 90's pop radio, where you could hear Marilyn Manson played right after Hooters and the Fishwich and Biggie. I remember telling friends could songs were sped up to cram in airplay because they were off key, up an entire step or more. Makes me think of Queens of the Stone Age "'Songs for the Deaf': "KLON Radio- we play the songs that sound more like everyone else, than anyone else." 🤣🤣👍
Jon Lajoie somehow always occasionally comes to my head at random times and I quickly come back to listen to him. God I miss his humour that would offend everyone today.
@@obluraschibus Dude is the shit. I hope to be as careless as he is someday, but damn I wish he would come back with some more hits so we're not just left reminiscing. 😅
@Max Mooney Not like there's much we can do about it. I'm sure mothafuckas could be shown "jamming" on zithers and most will think "OMG (S)HEZ HAWT N TALINTID"
Yep. It's the same kind of bullshit that Bon Jovi vomited out of his arse onto the masses with "What have you got if you ain't got love?". I HAAAAAAAATE THAT PIECE O' SHIT! How did he go from Livin' on a Prayer to that? The mind boggles.
I love it, from the 4/4 drum beat played with as little emotion as possible, to the literal use of shitty chords and lyrics. The level of satire is approaching Inception-meme levels of piss taking.
They improved it probably. I don't remeber the plates being that stupid in the last time I heard it. I might be wrong. The instrumental part is meant to be taken as a representation of overused comercial and unefective music patterns. What you probably meant was that the artists who composed and performed the instrumental part for these particular lyrics did a good job. I agree if this is what you meant.
My wife played a generic sounding feel-good rock/pop song like something you'd hear in a car or travel commercial. This song was dredged from my subconscious and I had to play it for her. She understands where I'm coming from now. Thank god for Jon.
It's funny because this song actually manages to have a more complex chord progression and beat than most modern pop music while still trying to be worse than pop music.
Damn I hadn't heard this in so long it actually brings back memories. Most of them are of me sitting in front of the computer reevaluating my life just like I'm doing now.
Lot of people here think Lajoie was ahead of his time. As awesome as he is, that's not the case with this song: radio friendly bullshit has been a problem since at least the fuckin' '80s, it's just that most people don't realize it because that stuff either doesn't last very long in the public memory or it becomes a nostalgic hit. Every time I hear this song it just reminds me of that "You're Beautiful" song which was all over the radio around the time Lajoie did this. Trust me, folks: the past isn't that much different from the present.
80s? mah dude, radio friendly bs songs have been around for 80 years, not since the 80s. biggest boom they made in the 50s and 60s late 60s and early 70s tried to rebel against it but 80s and 90s video culture ressurected the "safe" artists like a rotten meal revamps the awful smell with serial farts. and there is enough of a crowd do cheer for the new clothes to keep the crap relevant.
@@tomlxyz much longer? it was sole mass media for over half a century as print was largely local. for 80 years, radio friendly songs were standard. all broadcasting standards come from radio standards made hundred years ago. change in that industry is glacial.
I am so amused by this song, and so amazed that it never got the coverage it deserves. I have been lucky enough to have a very solid background in good old music. (i'm 65) I love ALL your stuff! And I love the way you rip all the new shit to splinters! We need MORE of YOU in the music world!!!!
Jon you proved that you could easily sell out and be a #1 pop artist. This song was better than anything I've heard on the radio. Thank you for being yourself. That's what the world loves.
What is the most surprising thing here... the dude have absolutely 10/10 talent to do songs, and 10/10 since of humour, jesus.... what a combination, he is perfect !!! good job JON !!
I remember back when I took music classes one of the girls in class performed this song. That day we got an unexpected visit from the mayor. I don't think he expected the cutie, fairy-like girl to sing those words... Anyway I've had this song in my list since then (8 years ago). It's iconic.
I cannot stand the radio. I get so pissed when I leave the house and realize that I forgot my ipod. Sometimes I'll turn around if I'm not too far yet, just so that I don't have to listen to the radio. Even the classic rock stations just recycle the same songs all day. Don't the classic rock stations realize that The Doors and Pink Floyd were not the only artists of their era?
After a while of listening to classic rock radio; it really does start to feel just as obnoxious as the contemporary pop radio. It's a shame because they do have good songs but they overplay them so damn much.
Now its getting insulting though. U2 is not classic rock. They keep playing one of their songs that came out in 1992. Or the one Zeppelin song they play...dont they know? No stairway!!! Oh and I will definitely turn around for my iPod unless im more than halfway there!
+James McKinney Macs are overpriced in any situation and are worse than PC in all but one case, which is how they come with the basic software you need, they're for lazy people.
***** That's a complete lie, there are much superior software that only support Windows that are bettter than what mac have to offer and Windows machines have access to unlimited combinations of hardware which makes them much better for video editing ,etc. Mac's are just simpler to use. Do some research
***** You do know that building a Windows machine is like mounting legos. And another thing that makes them better is that the hardware available is much, MUCH better for hardware intensive tasks like video editting. The rest that you say macs are better, are about the same for both machines as they aren't hardware intesive like text editting, pre-rendered videos,.... Which would be fine if the macs weren't the most overpriced computer ever created.
+James McKinney In which paralel universe? They are sooo damn memory hungry. Ohh god I'm mac-free for 6 months and I'm much happier with my lenovo and dell.
Jon Lajoie is honestly now my favorite singer of all time! His songs are just so awesomely amazing! (couldn't think of a better way to describe how awesome they are D:)
He disappeared because we got worse as a species. We've reached a point where even he can't make witty commentary out of our shitstain societies these days lmao.
Not many people are actually good at swearing, but seeing how he never fucks up the word fuck, and how smoothly he sang "piece of shit" at the end of the song practically touches my heart
he is done everything before anyone. I remember watching MC vagina so many years ago, Who wouldve know that this whole RU-vid thing Will blow up. Its just So nice to look back in time and ser how thing hace changed, before It was all about Goofy humor, no Big channel, just for The laughs. Man, I love Life.
I feel like Jon is super under-rated. like i mean he puts these hilarious songs and skits, and i feel like know one understands the meaning or satire behind them. songs like "pop song" "radio friendly song" and "show me your genitals" and many more videos jon has done almost perfectly captivize society, the music/entertainment society, its like his understanding of everything is just astounding; and yet at the same time he is able to make his videos funny and entertaining. GO JON!!!
