a totally mushy, godawful song that eptimizes how rotten popular music was in the late 70s. It was recorded by Debby Boone and supposedly spent 10 weeks on top of the charts. It is now used as an "inspirational" song at Fundamentalist church services. Now no one else wants to even remember it. Overhyped corporate teen country rubbish queen Leann Rimes covered it on one of her forgettable disposable albums of trash in the late 90s or early 00s. For a real good "Jesus song" check out "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" by the Irish rock band U2. That song is from the heart and is not a piece of corporate garbage.
I saw a fundie "religious service" one Sunday when I was in the Army. The crowd was shouting, chanting and shaking their fists into the air. They were clapping, hooting and hollering like nobody's business. Then someone noodled on a piano and they all sang that horrible number "You Light Up My Life". Then there was cheering and alot of "AMEN"s and "HALLELUJAH"s. Oh the horror! I expected to see someone in a black shirt with a swastika armband to step up to the podium. It was so sieg heil.

Get the You Light Up My Life mug.1. a tool used many purposes, including smashing things.
2. a big hit for rocker Peter Gabriel. It hit Number One in America during the summer of 1986. It has an award-winning, revolutionary video that features Claymation, or some technique similar to it. Peter Gabriel sings the lyrics from the point-of-view of a cocky guy, maybe as a parody of all those cock rock hits.
3. anything that breaks the ice, or shatters the walls of shyness or alienation in a person. Then you can get a certain person better and establish communication with him/her.

1. Richard got so pissed at the shallow boobs that were giving out what passes for the news these days he picked up a sledgehammer and smashed the fucking TV into junk.
2. A big highlight of the Peter Gabriel concert that I went to in 2003 was his megasmash "Sledgehammer".
3. ... I wanna be ... your sledgehammer
Why don't you call my name?
Ha! I wanna be your sledgehammer...

Get the sledgehammer mug.1. an overrated chump Britpop band that got great success and critical adulation in the fucking PC 90s and still gets it today. Singer Thom Yorke whines lyrics full of angst and painful references. The other players ain't so hot either. They first hit it big with "The Bends" in 1995 and their 1997 album "O.K. Computer" was declared a "classic", comparable with the Beatles' "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" and Pink Floyd's "The Wall". Yeah, right. 2000's "Kid A" has also been declared a "masterpiece", but that just shows what a wasteland popular music has become. That album is just pompous, pretentious crap. Radiohead is a critical "darling" favorite just like that other Britpop dud, Oasis. Ha ha ha.
2. "Radio Head" is a cool, catchy number found on the 1986 album "True Stories" by the unique American New Wave band Talking Heads. The song title inspired the name of the overrated British band.

1. Radiohead gets compared to U2 and Pink Floyd alot and that is a crock of shit. Their music is just artsy-fartsy tedium with whiny vocals. All their albums are boring rubbish.
2. The song "Radio Head" is pumped up by a guest accordion player. Get the "True Stories" CD and check out this and the other fine cuts on this album.

Get the Radiohead mug.a cool classic video game from the early 80s where you maneuver the joystick to place the little orange monster Q-Bert on a pyramid of pads, changing their color. The goal is to land on all the pads on the pyramid to change all the colors. Then you commence to do the same thing at the next level (the next pyramid). Q-Bert must avoid bouncing critters (like snakes), if he's hit by one he cusses (a talk balloon filled with "swear word symbols" like "@#$*!" appears). If you're not careful with the joystick, Q-Bert could jump off the pyramid edge by accident.
I first played Q-Bert while I was at a bash with some friends at a Godfather's Pizza joint. Their motto is "Pizza you can't refuse". Q-Bert is a thrill to play even today.

Get the Q-Bert mug.a phrase that babe Sarah Connor says to the Terminator that has its head in a press grip. She then hits the button and the head is squashed flat, destroying the violent cyborg.

Get the you're terminated, fucker! mug.an overrated operatic so-called classic by the disbanded British rock group Queen. It originally hit in 1975 - 1976 and again in 1992. It is very pompous and is an example of why punk rock came to being in the mid-1970s.
Bohemian Rhapsody is one of those songs that some record execs declare to be a "classic" and the public follows along with it, like sheep. Queen has done plenty of much better songs than this. Check out their "The Game" album, it's real good rockin' Queen.

Get the bohemian rhapsody mug.a Canadian country music star who has had big pop hits in the fucking PC 90s and beyond. She is married to producer Robert John "Mutt" Lange who oversaw great music in the 80s but now produces mostly shit. Shania is sexier than hell, but her songs are yuppified, Ally McBeal fan type pop shit for the soccer mom set, totally awesome in their flat out suckability. Utter crap.
Shania Twain is very sexy but her songs don't impress me much. Her albums belong in the shitcan. Complete trash.
