I've always kinda had a problem with the chorus of Beck's "Loser", which is just "I'm a loser" in Spanish, then English, then the rest of the words....xpost

― kornrulez6969, Wednesday, 27 July 2011 14:01 (fourteen years ago)

Probably going to vote "OTHER" because I love tha Titus Andronicus song to death, but of the original options I might have to go with the Dead one.

― je suis marxiste - tendence Groucho (will), Sunday, 31 July 2011 18:05 (fourteen years ago)

i realize that a lyric like GD's "loser" is probably one of the myriad reasons that people tend to hate them, but i've always thought Hunter did interesting things with that whole wild west folklore/ americana mythos bs

― je suis marxiste - tendence Groucho (will), Sunday, 31 July 2011 18:15 (fourteen years ago)

Why the hell would someone hate them for that lyric? That lyric towers over anything else n this poll?

― kkvgz, Sunday, 31 July 2011 18:29 (fourteen years ago)

idk it seems like dead haters think that stuff is kind of lame. maybe not?

i think it's (and dire wolf, deal, stagger lee, friend of the devil, etc) pretty great myself.
