whotheheckamiI’ve just been sitting in my hotel listening to MTV and I’ve heard a track that’s made me want to vote for censorship in all its forms! What track? I hear you cry:
The Big Yellow Taxi Cab Song – by Counting Crows featuring Vanessa Carlton
I adored the original by Joni Mitchell and its got to be somewhere in my personal top 100, but this version is an absolute travesty. It’s taken all the bite out of the original and reduced it to some middle of the road crap. To make matters worse it seems to have been written for the soundtrack of the latest Huge Grunt film where he waves his fringe at Sundry Bollocks (is it called 14 days?) This means that it’ll be on every radio station’s playlists and I’ll get it dumped in my head…in fact. It’s there now. Aargh! No, no, no!
It shouldn’t be allowed!
Mood: Ranty
Reading: The Shadow in the North – Philip Pullman..highly entertaining
