Yes, you do. You do lounge-singer versons of the song, complete with big cheesy smiles and sixties fashions. You then leave the fans of the original sitting there and wondering that it works so damn well in that style. And giggling insanely when they imagine the original band singing it that way.
They were just depressed, not trying to make us feel sorry for them. (Because we gen x-ers have no time for sympathy. ;P)
Exactly. We're not singing about it because we're so angsty and damn cool, and you should all feel a combination of awe and pity when you see us. We're singing about it because this is our life, this is how we feel, and this is what we think. We don't particularly care if you agree or don't.
I feel like an aging hippy, talking about when music used to *mean* something. :P
Well, at least I don't feel so alone. I mean, mum basically accused me of turning into a bitter old woman while I watched the MTV awards and bitched about the amount of flesh that the girls all flashed, and the stupid fashions, and the mindless songs. Yeah, I'm a grumpy old person in a young body.
