beatlesque
a term used by critics to describe music that has one or more traits or characteristics of the music made by the Beatles. Since the Fab 4 are one of the most inspirational rock bands of all time, many people have used the term to describe almost anything.
Cheap Trick has often been described as a Beatlesque hard rock band. They rock.
Oasis on the other hand, are a bunch of Beatles clones wanna-bes. They suck.

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club is a euphenism that refers to the club that is referred to by the Beatles album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. It's all the lonely people the band referred to in an earlier song, it's the alienated people. The Beatles are portraying to be the "spokesperson" band for that club. The album is a concept album that deals with the subject of alienation. That would be explored in more extensive detail in the double album The Wall by the band Pink Floyd.
After Steve, Ben and Greg swindled me out of $60 (I thought they were my friends) and Sara Ann left me for Joe I have become a member of the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club. There's no one in this building I can hang around with this weekend.

brown sugar
1. a brown powdery confection you put on your oatmeal.
2. Mexican heroin
3. a black woman
4. a hit song for the Rolling Stones, a highlight of their shows.

1. when I saw a brown sugar company use that Rolling Stones tune of that name for its TV ad I laughed my ass off.
2. Billy shoots up on that brown sugar every morning.
3. in the Sunday paper I saw a Target ad and rock'n'roll T-shirts were on sale that week. Several models posed in different band shirts and believe it or not, there was a "brown sugar" wearing a Rolling Stones T-shirt. Black woman - Brown sugar - Rolling Stones - Get it?
4. the Rolling Stones concluded their concert with "Brown Sugar". That song was controversial when it came out but now (in 1997) college students were huddled into circles and the tune was simply one big campy happy sing-a-long.

bohemian rhapsody
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.

hang the DJ
basically, it's a phrase used as an interjection when the radio station or club DJ is playing some trash. The phrase is used frequently by Morrisey on the 1986 Smiths hit "Panic" where he exhorts that the disco be burned down and the "blessed DJ" by hung up "because the music that they constantly play / it says nothing to me about my life". Considering that's true today, it ain't such a bad idea at all.

he loved his honey, but she loved money
it goes like this: a skanky golddigger of a woman finds someone (usually rich and/or famous), intoduces herself to him, they date and later they marry. She will usually bear the man's child, then leave him and file for divorce in order to get some of his moolah. In the 1984 song "Vice" (which appears on the 1985 Miami Vice soundtrack), Grandmaster Melle Mel describes a girl that some man adored who in the end was "another dirty old broad" and he goes on to say "he loved his honey, but she loved money".
Sir Paul McCartney met Heather Mills about a year after his first wife Linda McCartney died of breast cancer. She took advantage of the fact that his better half for a wonderful near-30 years of his life was dead and even though it was dumb and careless for Paul to fall for her despicable schemes, still, bad is bad and a golddigger is a golddigger. He loved his honey, but she loved money. Heather Mills is a greedy bloodsucking wench. I've seen it happen before to another musician in 1999.

Christian Rock
another attempt by greedy men in suits to cash in on something. Basically "Christian Rock" is just another product that is pushed to be sold by men in suits sitting behind desks who are saying, "You stupid Christian youth, this is your music". Another product to be sold, conning you out of your money. Most Christian Rock has rock trappings but the melodies and song structures are lame, derivative and not very original or exciting. The lyrics are usually preachy, pompous, overbearing and propagandistic. True songwriters write from the heart, not according to some format or formula. If you want to hear entertaining rock'n'roll that covers themes that Christians can relate to, there is plenty of it. U2 is an excellent example, they ROCK. Also, Pink Floyd, Genesis, the Ramones, the Beatles, Rush, Peter Gabriel and many other big name acts cover mature topics, yes, even with religious references and inspiration. Jesus can be found in everything, if you look hard enough.
Christian rock ain't nothing but propaganda for right wing fundies who care about the "message" more the music. It ain't really too different, in that aspect, from so-called Nazi rock. It's just propaganda, a product. Most of it is really just lame "adult" pop anyway. "You Light Up My Life" is one of the most goopy and hideous pieces of trash to ever hit the charts and airwaves. "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" is a great slab of "Jesus rock" because it comes from the HEART, like rock'n'roll is supposed to do in the first place.
