Case in point, allow me to compare two extracts of the songs' lyrics and we shall see which fares the better (in my personal opinion, which is arguably the only correct opinion I will ever comprehend because it's mine. I don't live in your head do I for the love of bitches, so your opinion isn't mine, so it's wrong. In my opinion)
'Killing In The Name Of' lyrical extract:
And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
Critique: Bit repetitive isn't it?
'Wuthering Heights' lyrical extract:
Out on the wily, windy moors
We'd roll and fall in green
You had a temper, like my jealousy
Too hot, too greedy
How could you leave me?
When I needed to possess you?
I hated you, I loved you too
Critique: Ne'er before in pop history has an opening line been delivered with such a ridiculously stupid voice and immediately arrested the curiosity and imagination of the listener. And look at the delicious use of paradox in the closing line! Pure heaven. Truly here we are witnessing the expression of a crazy bitch/genius, and one which will guide us into a brighter dawn, if only we'd let it.
So yeah, it's either that, or some bloke having a bit of a moan. It's basically the difference between either listening to an old man in the newsagent go on about how stamps used to be proper cheap, or having sex with Angelina Jolie. Are you saying you'd rather talk to an old man than have sex with Angelina Jolie? That's a bit weird.
All I'm saying is folks, the sooner you let Kate Bush into your hearts, the better. And I read the guy from Outkast who isn't the famous one really likes her, so there's something.
So yeah if such a Facebook campaign is ever/e'er started up again then I would hope the immediate first choice would be Kate Bush, otherwise I might throw a strop for a few moments.
What do you reckon is the shortest strop in history? I reckon it was when Simon Cowell's X-Factor Christmas Single didn't get to number 1. I imagine he didn't give the slightest fuck. The poor misguided youth who won the competition, however, was most probably mortified. Well done you lot.
By the way I was actually really pleased when Rage Against The Machine beat the smarmy X-Factor dickhead even though I find them a bit annoying.
Here is what I think Rage Against The Machine sound like:

See ya later.
