I wasn't wrong. Ermm

I said the artist was Jilted John and the song was also called Jilted John.

I said:
Erm, the song is called Jilted John (as is the artist aka John Shuttleworth aka whatever his real name is) and not Gordon is a Moron.

Ergo: the artist is also called Jilted John, just like the song is called Jilted John.

His stage name is John Shuttleworth.

So I was correct.

I also didn't need to Wiki or Google it, 'cause I already knew that was the case.

I was merely saying that the title of the song is not Gordon is a Moron, rather, it's the same name as the artist, who is better known as John Shuttleworth.

and why is James wrong?  Because he's not old enough to have sang 'I'm so upset' to TOTP back in 1978...
 
ergo, he's not old enough to be in the shed....Wink


Yet I knew the title of the song was Jilted John and not Gordon is a Moron. LOLEmbarrassed

Excuse me whilst I find something avant garde to drive it from my memory.LOL
 
What the SFG fella is saying is
I wish is was me you chose,  I wish it was me, Elvis isn't dead, and you're coming back to me.
 
In other words, if I can pretend that Elvis isn't dead , then I can pretend that you still love me.
See? it's about heartbreak and desperation.
 
 
For the love of God, I never though I would have to explain some jangly pop song to anyone in the shed. Go back to your avant garde, your pseudo intellectual nonsense twaddle if this 'ere pop is too tricky for you! LOL
 
Elvis isn't Dead, great song, now if you hear it twice a day (what,  everyday?)  you are annoyed by the tune rather than the lyrical content? (I assume as you didn't understand the context of Elvis)
is it all catchy pop that upsets you, or just this song?
 
Does anyone else get upset by "Pop Music"  anyone need a lay down?  Really there is some s h i t e out there in Pop world, but Scouting for Girls are pretty good pop, a bit like Badly Drawn Boy a couple of years ago, (what happened to them?)  they write, play and sing their own songs. that's a long way from the Atomic Kitten end of the spectrum! Good Pop is a treasure in the sea of rubbish! 
 
 
I had a lovely day off! Hooorah! TongueTongueTongue

OK, I' dont pay that much attention to the lyrics as its a rubbish song (IMO, of course), but I am annoyed by both the lyrics and the tune, and yes I am tortured with it and other such poor excuses for music on average twice a day, everyday during the week. Worst song, though, would undoubtedly have to be that Pussy Cat Dolls song Dont'cha, narcassitic load of trash that it is.

Sorry for sounding a bit venomous at the moment but I'm a bit fed up with work thanks to an a**hole of a manager and the pop music really does rub me up the wrong way.

Having said that, there are a couple of decent songs on there, mainly because they sound closer to jazz, though I couldnt tell you what they are called.
Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

A tie-break will not be necessary in this case; blatant attempts to prove a Grey wrong by a sub-30 year old will not be tolerated in any instance - one stirling rule of The Shed is us Greys refuse to be blinded by anything so trivial as facts.

If anything, a full and unequivocal apology is owed to those affected by this unacceptable behaviour

Yep, I demand an apology from Jared because he read my post incorrectly. Big%20smile

I feel upset that I am accused of being wrong when I am in fact correct.

This happens to me all the time in pub quizzes, when I offer the correct answer and then somebody else puts a different answer down and when the answers are read out, I do not get an apology from the person who wrote their answer down instead of my correct one.

I am fed up of it, to be quite frank! Ermm

The same is also true when people believe I have used Google or Wikipedia to look up something I know the answer to already; as if they do not expect me to know something like that. Ermm

I maybe under 30 years of age but I do know some things. Ermm

I am grieved. OuchWinkLOL

Ah!  but that's the point dear James!  Being Grey is a bit like being adolescent,  [1]we are always right, [2]we will always have the last word, and er... [3]we know less facts than regular adults cos our brains have started to die (that's why we're grey dontchya know?!?!) 
 
So being in that mid section between adolescent and grey puts you in a tricky situation, one we try to be understanding of, but see clause 2 above, and of course we will try to acommodate your needs but clause 3 makes us a little forgetful!
 
LOL Terribly sorry old chum!

James, when your lungs are clogged with the phlegm and tar from smoking endless rough shag for 50 years, you learn to appreciate the relief Fishermans Friends bring you..

I've met her twice and recorded her singing an accoustic set for our radio station.  She seemed a nice enough person to me and definitely had talent.

Sorry but the track was actually Jilted John by Jilted John.  Gordon is a moron was only the refrain.  The guy behind this was Graham Fellows who is also famous for John Shuttleworth, the character in Radio Shuttleworth on Radio 4.
