We know your opinion.
A band that just gets better with every release!

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

I think most people think of Smashmouth when you say “Song From Shrek.”
Walking on the Sun is better.
I like Walking in the Sun, everything else I've heard by them is awful.

This is...technically correct. The best kind of correct.

(Walking on the Sun is the only Smashmouth song I don’t despise. I don’t particularly like it, but I don’t despise it)
To be fair I said if you “sang” them the song from Shrek they would know it. My point being people who don’t know who the Buzzcocks are wont know the name of the song but if you sang the song they would recognise it as the ‘song from Shrek’!!

There are two songs from Shrek:
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Missing Pete like mad. Had Buzzcocks on repeat since he died.
Me too. Sad - but not surprising - how is passing came and went in the US without much of a blip.
As good as they are/were they didn't really make a big impact here in the US. People like all of us here are very much in the minority. I'm pretty sure I could ask every person I meet/work with etc tomorrow and nobody would know a thing about the Buzzcocks. I somehow got into a discussion about them with a woman in a bar in Texas and we were both amazed that the other was a Buzzcocks fan.
Yeah. I’m always amazed at what charted in the UK in the late 70s/early 80s that literally no one but me and maybe a handful of other people listened to in college in the 90s.
To be fair, I can't think of anybody in their right mind in the UK at that time who liked Starship or Kiss.

That phrase couldn't get more operative.

Sorry to be pedantic but Starship never formed til 1984. And also, KISS were one of the first punk bands.

Sorry to be pedantic but Starship were never formed they were given away free with breakfast cereal in 1984. And also, KISS were one of the first bands to copy Slade.

Nirvana were metal but KISS aren’t is a hell of a take.

In a brain where Starship is subversive, the laws of the normal universe are clearly suspended.
