Hey, Music.

Neat.

  • Cake
    • If there is a trumpet in every song, you remake Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive”, add an F-bomb into the aforementioned song, and can juggle 7 active chainsaws at a time, you are truly the world’s greatest band. Cake accomplishes 3 out of 4. Now, how about that last one, guys?
  • John Philip Sousa
    • Sousa is not a “band,” in the common sense; he’s more an unhealthy obsession of mine.
  • James Brown
    • Perhaps one day I will have as much soul as Mr. Brown. Probably not.
  • P.D.Q. Bach
    • Yeah, I don’t really know what the deal with this whole thing is. Still, very funny stuff. Especially if you’re a music nerd as I used to be (and sadly, still continue to be).
  • Andrew Lloyd Weber
    • “You’re the worst thing to happen to musicals since Andrew Lloyd Weber!”
      –Stewie from Family Guy

      At times this quote is true (Cats), and at times it is not (Phantom of the Opera). Who knows what to think? I do–he’s good.
  • Stephen Collins Foster
    • He is one of America’s greatest composers. You probably already know a lot of his songs, in fact.
  • Glenn Miller/Benny Goodman/Annoying Swing Music
    • Yeah, I like all those. If you don’t, you may not actually have a soul. I’d look into that if I were you.
  • The Doors
    • Funny story about The Doors: I always made fun of Laura (see Friends section of handbook) for idolizing Jim Morrison–now I am the idolator. Sometimes when irony isn’t tragic, it’s funny. This is probably more tragic.
  • Frank Sinatra
    • If you are a REAL man, you listen to Frank Sinatra. If you DON’T listen to Frank Sinatra, you may have more girls than me, and often get laid, but you are still not a REAL man; I cry myself to sleep sometimes.
  • The Rest of the Rat Pack
    • Yeah, they’re for real men too. Also, girls.
  • George Gershwin
    • A lot of people know his most famous work (Rhapsody in Blue) from a certain Disney movie called Fantasia. Not me. I know it from the special on Good Morning America and my once illegal downloading practices. Thanks, Charlie Gibson.
  • Louis Armstrong
    • A divine manifestion of Jehovah, Our Lord and God. Pure and simple.
  • Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky
    • What would this list be without a Russian? It would be a poor list, indeed.
  • Richard Wagner
    • I never believed my High School Band Director when he compared Wagner to God in a way that made God look unequal. Really, I still don’t. I included him on this list to make myself look sophisticated and cosmopolitan. Look at me go.
