Goddamned Cardigans

[Spanishbomb808]

That filthy 90s pop band covered "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath"! Disgusting. They took a rockin' tune and got some chick to get whiny over it. Now I'm pissed :mad:

I thought you were posting a review on Amazon, not another annoying post on the board.

[Spanishbomb808]

Bah, I'm not going to register on Amazon. Too many new CD's to disdain, too little time ;)

[A. Remin' D.]

I don't know who the Cardigans are, but I don't like them fucking with Sabbath!

[Spanishbomb808]

Harken back to the wasteland that is the 1990s and think of a song that went "Love me, love me, oh say that you love me."

Yes, it's the same fuckers :mad:

Oh, I recognize them now, I HATE that song! I don't ever want to hear this remake, it would just ruin the original for me.

[Rosie Cotton]

While I can't say I'm a huge Cardigans fan (hell, I think I've only heard two of their songs), I believe that "Lovefool" was a bit of a fluke. If I remember correctly, I believe they were always a bit of a metal band. A, you might want to listen to their song "My Favorite Game". I believe most of their catalogue is more like that than "Lovefool".

[Spanishbomb808]

That doesn't excuse the fact that they're 90s trash, made "Lovefool" and really screwed up a Sabbath tune.

Come on, as far as covers go, this one is a dud.

[DroppinScience]

Do you have to let it linger, SpanishBomb? Do you have to? :p

P.S. - Cardigans were okay at that time they were big. You've just unloaded a wellspring of memories. Besides "Lovefool", their other famous songs were "Zombie" and uh.... whatever that one song was called that was used for a Winona Ryder movie? Or was it Drew Barrymore? Fuck I forget that title. But it was an annoying one too.

[cosmo105]

you're thinking of the Cranberries, dingus.


Favourite Game ownz.

Oh really? Then who the fuck are the Cardigans???? :confused:

EDIT: NEVERMIND! Looked them up, now I remember.

"Love me, love me. Say that you love me. Fool me, fool me. Go on and fool me."

Yeah, that was cute at the time. Nobody special. Thus why I confused The Cardigans and The Cranberries. ;)

Shit I must be getting Alzheimers....

[Kid Presentable]

So you'd buy a nice pretty one that was made in 88?

Is it the elbows that you're having a problem with?

[synch]

Lovefool is the most annoying song in the history of annoying songs.

It would be the most annoying thing ever if it wasn't for spanishbomb.

[intergalactic]

The first album i personally bought was by the Cardigans


:o How embarrassing

[ASsman]

I love that song motherfucker!

Love me love! SAY THAT YOU NEED ME!

[ProfJIM]

Their one hit sucks, but they have some good songs.

PS You're a fucking idiot, get over it.

[cosmo105]

they had a really great track, "It's War," on the Life Less Ordinary soundtrack. i dig 'em. (y)

[ProfJIM]

erase and rewindddd....cause i've been chaning my minnnnndd

[Spanishbomb808]

Four iggy'd messages in a row. Beautiful :)

I like it when covers sound like the original song. So it's like you're just hearing the same song over again but with someone else singing. There's got to be a point to that. Somehow.

[Spanishbomb808]

I am capable of enjoying an imaginative cover in addition to a straightforward one.

But, when you take a tune like "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" and get a chick to bitch the lyrics over a stale, tinny organ, it really makes you want to set her and the rest of the idiot band ablaze.

[Documad]

I saw the Cardigans as an opening act this past year in concert and they weren't too horrible live. They didn't do Lovefool. I've heard it always embarrassed them.

[ET]

You've got a point though. It's pretty bland. I guess that's what those crazy Englishmen call 'taking the piss'.

I like their Ironman cover a lot better.

[Spanishbomb808]

They did what to Ironman?!

:mad:

[DroppinScience]

Nah, it's better when cover songs try and do something radically different from the original... and succeed.

If it's going to be a carbon copy, you may as well just listen to the original artist (generally speaking, I'm sure there are exceptions).

[Auton]

Lovefool's a great pop song. recognize, bitches.

[cosmo105]

Lovefool's a great pop song. recognize, bitches.
*applauds*

[ProfJIM]

And Auton comes in and thread and is the only person that shows some balls.

Again.

Fuck man, put those away.

[cosmo105]

...but you said that song sucked? :confused:

[ProfJIM]

A part of me was afraid to admit i like it. I even remember the video.

[Spanishbomb808]

I heart iggy's.

[alexandra]

let my fellow swedes cover whatever, they can't get much worse anyway...

[DroppinScience]

let my fellow swedes cover whatever, they can't get much worse anyway...

Now that's unfair...

The Hives and Division of Laura Lee are WICKED!!

You'll never be forgiven for ABBA though. :mad:

[cosmo105]

The (International) Noise Conspiracy are also Swedish. and they butter my muffin.

[alexandra]

alright-o, but i was just referring to the Cardigans.

[DroppinScience]

I'm gonna see them live in May! :)

[cosmo105]

I'm gonna see them live in May! :)
i've seen them twice. i hugged the bassist. he said "oh ja, we love the los angeles." :D

[DroppinScience]

i've seen them twice. i hugged the bassist. he said "oh ja, we love the los angeles." :D

So they rock the house live?

Good, I can't wait! :D

[Documad]

You'll never be forgiven for ABBA though. :mad:
I thought everyone loved ABBA! I liked some of their stuff in an cheesy-remembering my childhood kind of way, until I took my mom to Momma Mia and I haven't been able to listen to them since. Maybe someday, after the memory fades . . . .

Lovefool is indeed a perfect pop song. Plus it's kind of subversive I think.

[cosmo105]

So they rock the house live?

Good, I can't wait! :D
they are one of the most electrifying acts i've seen. god, what a show. the hives opened for them the first time...OHHH Pelle.

[the been]

i thought this was a thread about a sweater mishap.

[DroppinScience]

Sweeeet!

(I)NC are playing with ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail of the Dead when they're in Edmonton. It's not The Hives, but it'll have to do.

[cosmo105]

ooh, bitchin'. i've read that the new ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead album isn't all that great. i only have Source Tags And Codes, and it's fucking incredible.

[Documad]

Okay. I finally heard this song on the radio. It was horrific.

[Sandinista!]

The butchered version of "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath"?

[Documad]

The butchered version of "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath"?
Yes. It was even worse than I imagined. :(

[Sandinista!]

Yes. It was even worse than I imagined. :(

Revel and join in my hatred, Documad; it's spirtually rewarding.

[b-grrrlie]

I like their Ironman cover a lot better.

Ozzy loves their version of Ironman.

[Sandinista!]

Ozzy loves their version of Ironman.

Ozzy's brain is fried from snorting coke and ants; given his state, he probably loved Hanson too :rolleyes:
