"Eleanor Rigby" 2011 Cubs Theme

[Sammy Sofa]

"Great song?" Even just by diss track standards it's lame.

[Little Slide Rooter]

I think it was the timing of when it came out that really made it.

[Banedon]

The Thunder Rolls should've been on the list, but Garth only plays the third verse in concert...

 

She runs back down the hallway and through the bedroom door

She reaches for the pistol kept in the dresser drawer

Tells the lady in the mirror 'he won't do this again'

'Cause tonight will be the last time, she'll wonder where he's been

[SouthSideRyan]

This is just blatant Roast-baiting.

I'd like to think that video is the moment where Garth Brooks went insane and decided he wasn't just a shlumpy guy playing bad pop country that everyone love...no, he was an AC-TOR and he would play characters and CHRIS GAINES WOULD CHANGE THE WORRRRRRRRRRRRRLLLLLLLLLLD!!!

Chris Gaines was obviously a horrible idea...but it was more because the tv movie it was supposed to go with never happened.

 

I'm far, far from a country fan, and my music tastes don't match up with most of those in the music thread, but I'd still go see Garth in a minute. Saw him one other time, and it was a quite entertaining show.

[Sammy Sofa]

I love country, and I think going to a Garth Brooks concert would kill me.

[Little Slide Rooter]

No singer should even develop an alter-ego unless that alter-egos last name is Wilburry.

[SouthSideRyan]

He should've been Chris Wilburry

[EhDubya]

Surprised theres been no mention of Tupac's "Hit 'em Up".

 

Dude was bragging about [expletive] Faith Evans, not killing her.

 

Yeah, I guess. He did bring Faith and Kim into it though, and went on to say 'if you are down with Bad Boy .... [expletive] you, die slow [expletive] my 4-4 make sure all ya'll kids don't grow'.

 

So while I'd consider that threats of man on woman violence, you might not.

[Sammy Sofa]

Really not in the same universe as something like "Earl."

[UMFan83]

The point is the topic of Hit 'Em Up isn't about domestic violence. There may be a point where you might be able to consider a sliver of it referring to domestic violence but songs like "Run for your life" are primarily focused on violent behavior towards women.

 

If you want to submit Hit Em Up as an example of derranged violent behavior towards another person, it shoots right up to the top of the list.

[Sammy Sofa]

Well, it's obviously more specific along those lines, but it's not like hip-hop isn't riddled with those kind of threats.

in defense of garth brooks, he was a surprisingly excellent snl host

[VicCub]

Come in this house, stop all that yakety yak

come on in this house woman, stop all that yakety yak

don't make me nervous, I'm holding a baseball bat

 

Honey Hush

 

well it's hi-ho hi-ho silver, hi-ho hi-ho silver

 

That song (Honey Hush) was by the Johnny Burnette Trio though I believe that Big Joe Turner recorded it earlier and someone else wrote it. The Beatles even covered it, calling it Hi Ho Silver. Guess it was just a different time back then.
