Scouting for girls
Discussion
Do their 'songs' annoy anyone else or is it just me? They all sound the same,have the same pattern,and unfortunately all contain the talentless droning of the,um,singer.
But all I hear is radio stations/music channels banging on about how great they are?
F**kers.Why can't they just piss off?

.32 does actually sound old now come to think of it..knackers.I just can't see what the attraction of this lot is.They are truly rubbish(to my old ears anyway)
I've got a few years on you mate! if you want true modern brain destroying crap look no further than Keane, SFG are not the new Floyd but don't think they are that bad.32 does actually sound old now come to think of it..knackers.I just can't see what the attraction of this lot is.They are truly rubbish(to my old ears anyway)Yep, hate them with a vengance. They are up there with my number one hates, Kate Nash & Lilly Allen.
All Scouting For Girls seem to do is repeat the same lines over & over again.
Lyrically they are talentless.
Their songs seem to consist of half talked/sung verses. Bridges that have one sentence repeating themselves 4 times, then onto the chorus, cue lyrics repeated 4 times.
I don't know how they are so popular. Musically they are not good and lyrically abysmal.

Pathetic f
king drivel. Also all of their songs are actually exactly the same. Any band that'll have some repeated little phrase going "I do love/ she does heartbreak/ I did love til she broke my heart." needs shooting, twice, by their own parents; presumably they are all orphans because any normal parents would've strangled the smug gits at birth.

ste. Yet another tedious indie band who Radio 1 love and NME give full marks to. Scouting for Girls, Keane, Ting Tings, The Feeling etc etc are all rubbish. Only marginally less torturous than Rn'B.
I'd have to argue that the Feeeling, whilst I'm not a fan, are on a much higher level. They are excellent musicians, the songs are genuinely good songwriting and they can ACTUALLY play live !!te.

Wahey I'm not alone!
That one line in their new song; 'sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad, sometimes you make me feel sad'
WTF? Did no one say anything in the studio when they recorded it? Is there a conspiracy in the music industry that certain bands, no matter how st they are, get tons of airplay?

By the very fact that they are famous, with songs being played everywhere, and people liking their music (me included) makes them "good". Don't confuse you not liking them with them not being "good".

You see, this is a common misconception. Please bear with my poor analogy: Hitler was famous, and his ideas were everywhere. People liked him. But that didn't actually make him any 'good' - he was still chuffing awful and deserved to die. The same basic principle can be applied in this case.Now, may I present to you....
Your easy guide to writing a S.F.G song!
- Take generic issue (girl not liking you, breaking up, teenage angst/crush, etc)
- Write terrible, meaningless lyrics. Repeat ad-nauseum throughout song.
- 'Compose' simple piano/guitar melody. This only need be done once - it can then be recycled for all future songs.
- Sit back and watch the millions of teenage sheep come flocking
- Money!
Observe:
She's so lovely
She's so lovely
She's so lovely
She's so lovely
She's so lovely
She's so lovely
She's so lovely
She's so lovely
She's Pretty, a fitty
She's got a boyfriend though and that's a pitty
She's flirty so flirty
And that kind of girl that's really dirty.
General formula is now in place and can be applied to new songs:
Elvis isn't dead
Elvis isn't dead
Elvis isn't dead
cause I heard him on the radio
Elvis isn't dead
Elvis isn't dead
Elvis isn't dead
and you're coming back to me I know
Elvis isn't dead
Elvis isn't dead
Elvis isn't dead
yes I heard him on the radio
Justify how that's music. Yes, I know music's subjective (death metal isn't my thing, but I realise it is music). S.F.G however, is not.
It makes me so sad that this sort of crap is unquestionably consumed by the public, whilst genuinely talented musicians remain unknown.
Still, they'll be gone in 12 months and replaced by another equally generic offering I suppose...
