Sunday Night Selections

Another Sunday Night, another list of songs. All is good in the world.

Rap/R&B
Gym Class Heroes - "New Friend Request"
A throwback track detailing the feelings that every Generation-Y male has experienced at some point and time. In a day and age of MySpace and Facebook, its surprising that this track sounds as if it was made in the late 80s. Its even more surprising that Gym Class Heroes uses all live instruments -- no samples or drum machines here. Definite winner of the five songs chosen here.

Rock
Blue October - "Hate Me"
A little old, but as I've said before, the well has run a little dry on rock songs. (Though to be fair, I'm sure there's a wealth of good rock songs out now, but I haven't had much time to catch up on my watching of fuse). The song is borderline depressing, yet it sounds as if its complimentative at the same time. I don't know. Either way, behind My Chemical Romance's "Helena" and Brand New's "The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows," its one of my favorite "leave me alone, I want to be all emo-y" songs.

Random
Paris Hilton - "Stars Are Blind"
Fuck ya'll. All of ya'll. I can see you guys rolling your eyes already. Give it a listen, its really not that bad of a song. The girl can't suck a dick but apparently she can carry a tune.

Retro
Chris Issac - "Wicked Game"
This is a first. This song was actually requested to be in SnS. The requestee didn't request it because its such a sultry song with a hot video. They requested it because they were suprised that Chris Issac is still alive. He was definitely spotted on The Tonight Show w/ Jay Leno earlier in the week singing...you guessed it, Wicked Game. $2 to someone who can name another Chris Issac song without using any outside resources.

Remix
Busta Rhymes ft. Ol Dirty Bastard - "Woo-Hah! (Got You All In Check) (Remix)"
From the depths of 1994 comes this forgotten remix. This was back before Busta was doing tracks with the Pussycat Dolls or telling us how much he loves his bitch. Only thing he did back then was tell us that the world was going to end in 2000 (read the liner notes of all his CDs...for that matter, just read the names of his first 3 albums. Interesting gimmick). The pairing of Busta and ODB isn't one I can't say that I would have thought up, but it works flawlessly as the two share a very similar rapping style. Solid track.

Tuesday Night Tunes

Considering that there should be a regular Sunday Night Selections this Sunday, I figure I'd change pace a bit and list the worst songs of the summer. Read on at your own risk.

Carrie Underwood - "Jesus Take The Wheel"
I know. You're not supposed to rip on people singing about Jesus. It's not cool. But damn, I really hate this song. Is she singing about a car accident or is the whole song just a really bad metaphor? And I don't know who at ClearChannel decided that this song had crossover appeal, but they need to be fired. PuttPublish Posting this song between "Hustlin" and "I Write Sins, Not Tragedies" is not going to keep people from changing the dial.

Brooke Hogan ft. Paul Wall - "About Us"
Out of the four songs listed here, this one is probably the least atrocious. Paul Wall's verses are actually pretty good and Brooke's singing is surprisingly above average. But in the grand scheme of things, she's just another dime-a-dozen blonde. If she were Britney, Christina, or Jessica beautiful this track might be a big springboard to a successful career. But she's not. Instead she's relagated to a few TRL appearances and forever living in her father's shadow. Who, by the way, is using this track as a way to get back into the wrestling spotlight.

“If things go our way, you might see why I’m a legend,” said Orton. “And if your daddy has a problem with that, he’ll find out why I’m the Legend Killer.”

Every wrestling fan is already rolling their eyes at the thought of a Randy Orton v. Hulk Hogan match at SummerSlam 06.

Kelis ft. Too $hort - "I'm Bossy"
I'm trying to figure out why this track gets so much airplay. Kelis's vocals are horrible, the hook is obnoxious, and the video design is old news. Hell, not even Too $hort couldn't save this track. Guess when you're married to Nas (who's friends w/ hip-hop mogul Jay-Z again), who needs talent?

2006's WORST SONG OF THE SUMMER
Project Pat ft. Three 6 Mafia - "Good Googly Moogly (That Thang Is Juicy)"
I've been reppin' those boys in Three 6 all year. They came up well. From "Tear Da Club Up '97" to winning an Oscar. This has been their time to shine. From back to back bangers ("Stay Fly" & "Poppin' My Collar") to doing a GREAT track for WWE Wrestler Mark Henry, they've been on fire.

Well it looks like someone just dropped a big bucket of water on them. This track is certified garbage.
