I wish I was a Punk Rocker

Posted by greasy 1208 days ago

I wish “I wish I was a Punk Rocker” by Mandi Thom would just piss off and die a horrible death.

I say this for a number of reasons.

If you really listen, I mean REALLY listen, to the lyrics, they are utter crap!

It’s like she made up the words to this drivel while sitting in a public shithouse in Redfern reading the bloody toilet wall graffiti.

I’ve heard a bunch of drunken arseholes going by the name Travellin’ Fats come up with waaaay better lyrics to far more appealing songs.

Who could forget that famous song, “Oh when the Fats go marching in…..suck on my fat, you dirty rat!” Pure poetry!!

Or the timeless classic, “Get your tits out for the boys!” A real crowd pleaser.

Then of course that family favourite, “Charlotte the Harlot”. The kiddies love that one.

I’m also ranting about Sandi Thom’s piece of crap because it’s going to make her filthy rich because it has a catchy tune.

But the actual lyrics are nonsensical and childish.

Firstly, name one…ONE….punk rocker who wore flowers in his hair?

If you take punk rocker as a literal, you’re talking about the Sex Pistols or The Clash.

If you were singing about punk rockers such as these, you would be saying, “I wish I was a punk rocker, with safety pins in my face”.

No self-respecting punk rocker would be seen dead with flowers in his hair so why does Sandi Thom think she can make a parallel with some pot-smoking hippie and a drown-in-your-own-vomit punk rocker?

And also, how can people sing along or listen to this crap song and not realise punk rockers don’t put flowers in their hair?

Is the Greasy Pig the only person in the country who can see through this shit?

Sid Vicious hated flowers.

One sordid evening in a London underground sex party, he and the Greasy Pig were enjoying a few cleansing ales and the company of some lovely young ladies with purple hair and black fingernails who begged Sid to vomit on them.

It was pure punk culture.

Then some wag ran up to Sid and said, “Oi Sid, what do you reckon about putting these flowers in your hair at your next ….”

Before he could finish, Sid had glassed the poor bugger in the face and shoved the flower up the eye of the bloke’s dick. Ouch.

So along comes Sandi Thom with a catchy tune but she just can’t quite make, “I wish I was hippie rocker with flowers in my hair” fit in with the music.

Hmmm, what are you gonna do Sandi? I know, why don’t you just throw the first monosyllabic musical word you can think of in there and just release the song.

And what about the line, “Footballers still had long hair and dirt upon their face.”

Hasn’t she ever seen a modern football game of any sort in her life?

Every weekend you can see footballers running out with long hair and mullets. Take Kane Cleal at Manly or Hawthorn’s Joel Smith or the Wallabies’ George Smith!

Sandi Thom has proven herself to be very talented….very talented at being a brain-dead dimwit unable to think of anything other than the crap lyrics she and every friggin radio station are forcing into our eardrums every day.

Take a stand, fight back. Phone the radio stations and put forward this point of view. Spread the word. Don’t hold back.

Maybe I can release a no.1 hit with the same tune…..

I WISH I WAS A GREASY PIG, WITH LADIES IN MY BED

FIRST OF ALL WE’D 69 AND THEN THEY’D GIVE ME HEAD

I DON’T KNOW THEIR NAMES, I DON’T CARE WHAT THEY SAID

OH I WISH I WAS A GREASY PIG, WITH LADIES IN MY BED

    Greasy,

    I have to say you have completely missed the mark with this rant. First of all if YOU really listened to the lyrics she is talking about social revolution and how she wished she lived in two specific time periods that she associates with social revolution. The first being the 60's and hippies, hence the flower in her hair and second the 70's when punk was being born, hence the punk rocker.

    I would also like to point out that she is American and most pro football there is now played on Astro turf style fields and hence the comment regarding footballers with long hair and dirt on their face.

    I can also loan you my Sandi Thom CD if you wish so you can listen to it further.

    Rock on Sandi

    I'd just like to say that she's actually English, I should know as I've had to endure her petulant whine for over a year now!! Hence the 'football' she is refering to is soccer, and to my knowledge they've allways had hair like girls and have never had dirt on their faces, cum more like.

    P.s. She's shit!! and anyone who pays good money for her tripe nees to give serious consideration to a frontal lobotomy.

    T-bag thank you for the clarification on her nationality but I still believe my other points are valid.

    I stand by all of my musical purchases, especially my Vanilla Ice CD, which I think Mags stole by the way. Oh how I long to listen to his sweet raps and beat boxing on "What it's like having a Ronnie".

    Mony, I give credit to you for standing by your convictions. It takes alot of guts to tell the world you actualy own a Vanilla Ice CD. More power to you. Now, where'd I put my Milli Vanilli cd?

    Hi spankers. I just realised I called her Mandi Thom instead of Sandi Thom. But that's because Sandi sounds fucked. Mony, thanks for your insightful comments on this crap contribution to modern music, I hope you don't come away from this year's mardi gras too sore. But as I've told you before, if you want to be bummed dry, you'll have to suffer the consequences. T-Bag, thanks for the support. Sandi Thom, a Pom, a shit songwriter and a bitch I would dearly love to give some of my DNA to.
