Subject: What's Cornier - Grillz or Laffy Taffy?

Written By: Donnie Darko on 02/21/06 at 1:48 am

I'd say Grillz.  I never though there would be a dumber song than "Laffy Taffy" until I heard that  ;D

I mean, really, rapping about teeth?

What a tough one, lol. Actually there's a new candidate "Ms. New Booty" by Bubba Sparxxx, what a pathetic piece of trash.

It's rising up the itunes top sellers, it's now 26th. I really don't know why anybody in their right mind would pay for that song.

I'd say Grillz but only by a nose. Although I must say i'm sort of happy that both these songs came out because i'm hoping maybe they'll start some kind of backlash against rap(but i'm not gonna hold my breath) Also what is with this spelling words in the title wrong thing. I mean "Grillz" how pathetic.

Exactly what I was thinking.  I was hoping they would/will be like what "Cherry Pie" and Nelson were to hair metal in 1990.  But probably not  ::)

No I woulnt be so sure. It's too early to tell just yet since those songs havent been out too long yet so I'm still waiting to see if a backlash will happen.

If these songs get any dumber Weird Al wont even have to re-write the songs to make a parody. He can just preform the original song since it's already like a comedy song. I mean "Grillz" and "Laffy Taffy" that's funny stuff. ;D

Laffy Taffy is clearly the worst of the two.  The horrible rhymes and downright awful beat are proof of that.  I still can't believe the two songs in this topic actually hit #1 on the Hot 100 Charts.  Then again, those charts have been crap for years.

Yeap, it's not just me that thinks 2006 is the new 1990. The music really sucked in 1990. That was the year of MC Hammer, Vanilla Ice, Nelson, and Wilson Phillips. Yeap, sounds a lot like this year.

I think so. Even now, the '00s is really wearing itself out, even though it's still very prevalent.  2004 was really the peak.

Yeah, the '00s is dying even quicker than the "disco ball" '70s period and the peak '80s. It'll be dead by '09...records like that of Paris Hilton will be seen as '00s-prime nostalgia items and symbols of its stupidity in the '20s and '10s, respectively.

I'd agree that '04 was the peak of this decade culturally. It just seems like that this is gonna be a really bad year and that by next year people will really begin to grow tired of the same recycled music, reality t.v.,etc.

2004 was definitely the peak. Generally I liked 2005, but it wasn't the peak of the decade. Things are different now, like you just don't know the direction we're going in, at least that's how I feel. This probably means that we're getting closer to a pop culture shift.

2005 was the 1985 of this decade.  Very central, very '00s, but nothing particulary definitive.  Just like 1985 was at the heart of the '80s, but wasn't really definitive aside from being the leftovers of 1984.

I hope so. Then there will be something to look forward to. The music finally improved in the 2nd half of '91 with the mix of rap and dance. It's also when grunge first came out.

I know what you mean, there are some similarities between 2005 and 1985. But as I mentioned before, I think 2005 overall was more similar to 1989. I think each year is paralleling the year that was 16 years before it (2006=1990), rather than 20 years.

1990 sucked musically because it was the nadir of 1980s music, essentially.  Just like 2006 is the nadir to the 1997-2006 period.

You know the way people were using Vanilla Ice as an example to how badly 1989/1990 culture sucked, along with Warrant's "Cherry Pie"? People will be using "Ms. New Booty" by T-Pain as an example of how badly 2006-2009 culture sucked, or some even worse thing that comes out after it. I'm guessing we haven't hit the bottom of the barrel yet.
