Everybody Wants to Rule the World: By Tears For Fears
Keith : So, do you want to set the tee for this one?
Zach: Two things right off the bat, the opening music before the drums kick in, it’s the most annoying intro I’ve ever heard and number two, I do not want to rule the world so Tears for Fears does not speak for me.
Keith: Come on, this is a brilliant period piece. We take for granted not having to live through the Cold War, TFF went out on a limb and took a political stance!
Zach: If you want me to believe that this song is a metaphor for the political tension during the Cold War you must think I am high right now (I’m not high) Tears for Fears being a political band is a frightening notion.
Keith : Do not judge them on their haircuts. Is this song going to win a Noble Prize, NO. Will it take the sting out of the 405, YES. As you sit in traffic looking at the hundreds of cars and all their political nonsense bumper stickers, you can turn the TFF up loud for all those who think their political agenda comes first.
Zach: Ok, I can see your point on there, but in actually turning up the TFF means you have to listen to this guy and his whiny voice emote over some lame guitar work. They are softbatch, what’s wrong with being an actual rock star. These guys should not fill out rock star on their tax form.
Keith: Hey, what’s not to like about softbatch? Have you ever had softbatch cookies? They are delicious and are almost as satisfying as this rock anthem.
Zach: I get the feeling that this guy doesn’t even really believe what he’s saying, i say he’s going through the motions.
Keith: Do we have to give a band a polygraph every time they sing a song? Whether or not he believes in what he’s singing doesn’t change the fact it’s a meaningful chorus that any Tom, Dick, and Harry can sing a long with. When was the last time you heard a Tom, Dick, and Harry reference?
Zach: It’s been too long. Man, I’m watching this video again and these guys are just really lame. Not just because it’s the 80’s but they dress like it’s a low budget dockers ad. Show me proof Keith Richards wore a polo shirt while rocking out and I’ll never listen to Sticky Fingers again.
“There’s a room where the light wont find you holding hands while the walls come tumbling down. When they do Ill be right behind you.”
Those are either lazy, incoherent or just plain creepy lyrics. It might hit the trifecta.
Keith: HA! Maybe they have their own style, what’s wrong with setting a new trend? Remember, what some find creepy; others identify with and find comfort in. There are people who like to be choked during love making, the world is a diverse place.
Zach: Oh dear, well Keith that is true I suppose. But I guess that what makes this country of ours great. It also means I call em’ like I see em’ and this band is completely unessential and I don’t see why anyone would actively listen to it. I’m changing the channel if stuck in traffic, no doubt.
Keith: The truth hurts Zach. Whether it’s the truth of how people choose to engage in intimacy or the truth behind the political landscape of the world. Tears For Fears gives us the low down on the latter. As for global erotica, I would place a call into the old lady who does the sex chat on the Oxygen Network.
So what to you think about Tears for Fears during rush hour?
