Spike Jones vs. Tom Lehrer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 Really depends on what you want, and what era you prefer. Spike Jones (Sr) is before my time, and what he did was brilliantly creative, madcap and phrenetic for its period. Nowadays it's kinda draggy. Lehrer has been going a long long time now, and his was a more intellectual, biting satire sort of humor style, where lyrics were just about all of it. In terms of raw creativity and real innovation, the two are in the same league. But ... Lehrer almost certainly has got more staying power; today, a moderately skilled teenager with a synthesizer can't touch Lehrer's lyrical creativity, but he can produce just about everything Jones invented, and do it in a way that works better for today's far more jaded, far less patient, brain-dead hyperstimulation-addicted listeners. Next up: Noisemakers. 25,000 drunken soccer fans with vuvuzelas versus 1500 not exactly sober bikers at a weekend Harley-Davidson festival.

Old Man Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 I'm going with the soccer hooligans, because Harley riders are much more deliberate and premeditated in their noise generation.

Cancer Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 Lysergic. In darts. From a sniper rifle high above street level. Picking off the smug young Amazonians and so on walking between grossly overpriced coffee shops and nowhere-near-as-good-as-they-should-be-for-the-price eateries in the trendy Paul Allen spawned mass of metastasized 21st Century tech office buildings in South Lake Union. Maybe we can open a few eyes to just what kind of banal little tools they are for a handful of narcisstic billionaires, and restore psychedelia as a significant creative force. Or failing that, get some smug SUV-driving entitled soccer moms so f***ed up they pay attention to the rules of the road for once. Maybe get it into the bottled water too. Or maybe work it into those polycarbonate water bottles they all have with a slow time release so they really don't notice an anomaly when their computer mouse starts humping their stainless steel travel coffee mugs while singing something by the Stone Temple Pilots just off-key enough to be annoying.
