Mony Mony

a hit song from the 60s. Billy Idol covered it and took it to #1 in 1987.
I was in the Hard Rock Cafe in Montreal. Everybody was speaking French, I couldn't understand a word anybody was saying. Then, Billy Idol's version of Mony Mony was played by the DJ and within seconds the dance floor was packed. Billy sang "Here she comes down singing "mony mony" and the crowd chanted "Hey motherfucker, get laid, get fucked" in ENGLISH! Unbelievable.

hot for teacher

A 1984 hit for Van Halen, from the album 1984. It describes a feeling many school kids experience. The video expresses that emotion. The phrase pretty much explains itself.
Gene: Look at Miss Sheridan. She is stacked, dude!

Kenny: Got it bad, got it bad, got it bad
I'm hot for teacher
I got it bad, so bad
I'm hot for teacher

crap platter

an album (in the form of a CD, LP, cassette or download this so totally unlistenable. Its music is utter crap. It ain't worth the time or money. So awful it's tragic that it was ever made. Absolute gar-bahg. Rubbish.
1. U2, Genesis, the Ramones, RUSH, Cheap Trick, Living Colour, Roxy Music, REM,ELO,AC/DC, Midnight Oil, INXS and other bands are unique in that while some of their albums are better than others, none of them have released a bad album. They never put out a crap platter.

2. Ernie: Hey, Bert! Have you heard the new Justin Bieber mix CD?

Bert: No, and I don't want to! Everything he dishes out is a crap platter.

BAD

1. the opposite of GOOD. See some of the synonym tags below.

2. tough, cool, macho, poised, refined, alright, reserved, studly, get the idea? You don't have to be a man to be bad - some women fit into this category too. Also, "bad" isn't exclusively for straight people either. There are many gay men (and women) who are "bad" too. "Badness" is a description of a personality and character, not a shallow imitation.

3. Michael Jackson's famous album from 1987. It entered the album charts at Number One ( a rare feat at the time) and scored several big hits like the previous 1982 classic album "Thriller". However this time a new chart record was also achieved: BAD scored FIVE Number One hits - "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" (with Siedah Garrett), the title track (... I'm bad, I'm bad, you know it...really really bad..."), "The Way You Make Me Feel" (... ain't nobody's business...), "Man In The Mirror" (...make that change!), and "Dirty Diana" (come ON!). Check it out.

4. B.A.D. or

Bald
American
Dudes
is a neighborhood club set up by Al Bundy on the TV show "Married With Children".

5. BAD is also

Big

Audio
Dynamite,

a clubby techno dance rock band formed by Clash guitarist Mick Jones around 1984. They made innovative albums and in 1990 a new lineup resulted in BAD II. They're best known for their 1991 hit "Rush", about this time their music became oversampled big time. A few years later the band became just "Big Audio". They split up about a year afterward. The first BAD incarnation made the best stuff like "The Bottom Line" and "C'mon Every Beatbox".
1. Stay away from Vanessa, Rico. She is bad news. A real bad apple.

2. My girlfriend is a smoker but she keeps trying to quit. She says to me to don't ever start, it's a bad habit.

3. Billy Idol is one bad dude. You can tell by his songs, his videos, his sneer and his shows. They don't call him an "idol" for nothing!

4. U2 made a tune called "Bad". So have other people. Also, George Thorogood has proclaimed himself to be "Bad To The Bone". So have the reggae band Inner Circle on a different tune of the same name. They also scored a big hit "Bad Boys" (the theme from COPS).

5. Michael Jackson's BAD album had a chart run that lasted for the rest of the decade. The hits kept on a-comin'.

6. Al Bundy established his BAD club during one of the first few seasons of the show, IOW while it still had some funny elements to it, before it "jumped the shark".

7. Big Audio Dynamite's second album had Mick Jones' Clashmate Joe Strummer make a guest appearance on it.

star spangled banner

Quite simply, it's the national anthem of the United States of America. It was written by Francis Scott Key during the bombardment of Fort McHenry in the War of 1812 (in Canada it's called "The Anglo-American War" or simply the "American War"). The melody was taken from a British pub song and new lyrics were added. The song is EXTREMELY difficult to sing, and even though many famous people have sung it at sporting events, VERY few have ever got it right.
I was watching the 2004 Summer Olympics on TV. They were being broadcast (taped) from Greece. The U.S. womens soccer team had won the Gold medal in the game finals. When they received their medals in a ceremony most of them joined in a vocal rendition of the Star Spangled Banner. It was the most wretched, lousy and downright godawful version of that anthem I ever heard in my life, and I've heard plenty of bad versions. This was the famous 15 minutes for the ladies, since the networks, the press (and the general public pretty much too) don't really give a rat's ass about womens sports, let alone soccer as much as they do about football, baseball and basketball - especially as played by men. A moment of national pride for the U.S.A., forgotten in a flash. And so it goes.

Jeff Lynne

British rock star, writer and producer. Some rockmag critics slam his output as being too excessive, but he's more versatile than you might think. He's mostly noted as being the singer, guitarist, songwriter and de facto leader of the unique Electric Light Orchestra, which existed from around 1971 to 1988. They had a string of great hits, were one of the first bands to utilize synthesizers a lot (along with Pink Floyd and others), use a lot of backwards messages on their albums (they got a lot of flak over that by ignorant buttheads. Their 1983 album "Secret Messages" is a reply to that) and they were one of the first bands to use laser shows in their concerts (as well as a model starship). Jeff, an avowed Beatlemaniac got to produce the fine 1987 "Cloud Nine" album by George Harrison. Then he, George, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison, and Tom Petty formed the supergroup Travelling Wilburys and they had some hits. He also worked with the other Wilburys on their later albums. Also, in 1990 he released his own solo album "Armchair Theater" which highlights his love and roots for 50s rock. When the 3 surving Beatles (the "Threetles" - George, Paul and Ringo) needed help in producing their new songs based on a demo tape John made before he was killed, Jeff Lynne was called in to help. After that he worked with the Threetles on their solo work. There was a temporary ELO reunion of some sorts, but the post-9/11 climate scared many people and the reunion tour was squelched.
Jeff Lynne is more adventurous in his music than most people give him credit for. Check out some of the releases by the afore mentioned artists and you will notice how truly devoted he is to early rock'n'roll music.
