<p>“Calling You”, Blue October.</p>
|
||
<p>Here’s a sample of the lyrics:</p>
|
||
<p><em>Theres something that i cant quite explain</em><br/> <em>i’m so in love with you</em><br/> <em>you’ll never take that away</em></p>
|
||
<p><em>and if i said a hundred times before</em><br/> <em>expect a thousand more</em><br/> <em>you never take that away</em></p>
|
||
<p><em>well expect me to be</em><br/> <em>calling you to see</em><br/> <em>if you’re ok when i’m not around</em><br/> <em>asking if you love me</em><br/> <em>i love the way you make it sound</em><br/> <em>calling you to see</em><br/> <em>do i try too hard to make you smile</em><br/> <em>to make a smile</em></p>
|
||
<p><em>well i will keep calling you to see</em><br/> <em>if you’re sleepin are you dreamin and</em><br/> <em>if you’re dreamin are you dreamin of me</em><br/> <em>i cant believe</em><br/> <em>you actually picked...me</em></p>
|
||
<p>Truly puke-inducing. A non-rockstar taking the message of this song to heart would ensure himself years of involuntary celibacy. Shame, too, because it’s a catchy tune. And therein lies its nefarious power. The music lulls you into a false sense of comfortable masculinity while the lyrics fill your head with a message that would shrivel the testicles of a bull moose.</p>

<p>Runner-Up Beta Song:</p>
|
||
<p>“She’s So High”, Tal Bachman</p>
|
||
<p>Any nominees for most alpha song of all time? And no cheesy tunes like “Born in the USA” or anything by a 1980s hair band singing about banging chicks on car hoods or riding the road alone. Although I would accept “Hot for Teacher” as a legit contender. I got my pencil! Not sure if the early 90s grunge era qualifies. Nirvana and Pearl Jam sound superficially alpha but their messages are borderline limp-wrist. They were the emo prototypes, after all. Music in the 2000s took a decided turn for the beta, which should tell us something about the quality of “men” now populating America. Arcade Fire and MGMT make great music, but let’s face it, they’re kind of faggy. Muse might be the closest thing to an alpha band we have at the moment. (I consider rap and hip hop to be cartoon versions of alpha, which is not as bad as being beta, but not up to amused mastery levels. Rap is like the bellowing douchebag at a bar who assertively but sloppily hits on a girl, gets rejected, and then calls her a bitch.)</p>
|
||
<p>It’s looking more and more like the last of the great alpha songs ended sometime in the late 70s. This perfectly mirrors the general decline of America. Discuss amongst yourselves.</p>
