Listen very carefully to the lyrics.

Good thing I listened carefully. I never would have guessed that this is a pastiche of hair metal.

I can't wait to never listen to that song again.

Steel Panther rocks! And here's why Kelly Clarkson is way cooler than Taylor Swift will ever be:

You would be a lot less gay if you liked Carrie as much as Taylor. One is an ugly whore, and the other is Carrie Underwood.

Thanks for sharing.

this is an interesting social experiment...
those that like the steel panther song, and those that do not.

The results so far are not all that surprising.

Hey, Doug!

How is life up there on your mile high pedestal? Pretty nice? No worries? I bet it's pretty awesome that you get to look down upon us peons that dare like something you don't. Oh, how is it living next to W_Z up there in the clouds? Is his pedestal just as shiny and well appointed as yours? I bet he's a real treat to have over for cheese and wine, I bet he knows all the best kinds and always thinks your wine is "ok" and that he has always had something better....

Anyways, that's all I got. Have a great Tuesday....wait, is it OK that I don't hate Tuesdays? Is this bad? I guess I will wait until you render judgement.

When was the turning point for SomeGuy becoming one of the worst posters on the board? It happened so suddenly, and yet I cannot point out the exact moment it happened.

He is combative just to go against the grain...

:roll: Hey, it's another guy rendering judgement.

Edit: I happened to find he video itself to be good. The song itself, not so much. But it's a parody so what are you going to do?

Hi SomeGuy!

I am sensing a bit of sarcasm in your post.

Nevertheless, it is a little cold up here but, I am hopeful that is warms up shortly. I buy $3 bottles of El Sancho wine and Kraft singles or aged Beemster Gouda and $50 bottles of Caduceus. I run the taste bud gamut.
W_Z has yet to visit.

The video was well shot, but the song is terrible. Parody songs can be terrible...

You caught that? I was a bit apprehensive about hitting the Submit button after I wrote it....I was worried you would just think I'm a total asshole, which is only half-true. Anyways, if you're ever in need of a friend, as I know it can get lonely up there, just send me a PM and I will hop on the next available helicopter. I will come bearing gifts of Aldi brand pepper jack and some wine I made in my bathtub.

I thought the video was pretty damn good, it really captured all the cliched pablum of 80's hair metal ballad videos...the chicks, on stage, tour bus, black and white, slow motion, toasting beers, pre-show chants, back stage and crowd shots.

The song was bad, this is true but I laughed a bit at it.

Hasn't this all been done, though? At no point was I like "finally, someone nailed it."

Yeah, I agree, but it isn't like doing a video such as this is making art or something.

It was fun and if some other parody metal band does one just as good it will be fun as well. It hit the right strings and was well done.

Les Gay was my psychologist as a child.
