I feel guilty now for saying that Creedence Clearwater Revival are cave people. Especially since they are an Important Band. I'm not very good at saying that music sucks. I would never be good at writing for Pitchfork.
This reminds me of the time my friend Andrew said he hated The Postal Service. Everyone was surprised because he doesn't usually complain about stuff. Then, two days later or something, out of nowhere he was like, "I feel bad about what I said about The Postal Service. A lot of people really like The Postal Service."
I realize that a lot of people really like Creedence Clearwater Revival. And Norah Jones (laundry-folding music). And Wyclef (just comes on other people's records and makes them more annoying). And Santana (Mr. Guitar W. Wankerson, middle initial stands for "Wanky").
I feel better for getting that out of my system. Now I'm going to make up for being a bitchy hater by telling everyone that I have always liked this one song by Creed.
Are we even?
my songwriting professor would call this "well-crafted"

"Ooby Dooby"-Creedence Clearwater Revival
this song was originally written by some dudes named Wade Moore and Dick Penner.
that's right, it took TWO PEOPLE to write this crap. i know, i'm surprised, too. i thought it was written by adam sandler BACK BEFORE HE WAS BORN
roy orbison should have known better than to sing this song, but you can't really fault creedence clearwater revival because they are cave people. that's just my personal opinion.
ccr fans please explain to me

"Break My Body"-The Pixies
If you listen to The Pixies enough, you always stay young and cool and subversive. The Pixies listen to a lot of Pixies, and it worked for them.

"Konichiwa Bitches"-Robyn
Robyn came out with "Show Me Love" in 1993. You might remember this song if you are a girl and you were alive at that point. I guess she was probably doing stuff between then and 2005, but I didn't know about it. Somehow though, in that span of time, she must have decided that it might be cool to be the Missy Elliott of Sweden.
Hard shoes to fill. She does an admirable job. Don't try to resist the feeling of indestructibility that creeps up on you as you listen to these lyrics:
You wanna rumble in space?
I put my laser on stun.
And on the North Pole,
I'll ice you, son.
Yeah!
