To my dying day I will believe with all my heart that Rod Stewart's "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy" is just a super dumb song.
sounds like a fuckin' flowchart being over-excitedly recited at the world's most awkward strategy meeting
when i tooted about this earlier it was partly an attempt to exorcise the song from my head by talking about it but that has more or less precisely backfired
@joshmillard Years ago my brother sang the lyrics as "If you think I'm body and you like my sexy" and I have never been able to unhear it that way. Damn it, now you got it in my head. 🙉
@joshmillard So, it sounds like a Rod Stewart song.
@joshmillard Yes absolutely and yet somehow I cannot help but love this Mekons cover of "You Wear It Well." How, how? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJd85x773lA
@joshmillard I still enjoy the Revolting Cocks' cover, though. And not only for the sheer Gen-X-ness.
@joshmillard Do Ya Think I'm Sexy needs Clyde.
I have grown a lot as both a musician and a music consumer over the years in my capacity to appreciate and embrace the broad swath of pop aesthetics and I don't think dumb songs are bad or something to be ashamed of enjoying.
But it's just, jeez, how was this a thing. This dumb dumb song.
