Me / You = Error

There's this song that keeps playing on the radio at work, and it's kinda irritating. The lyrics are something like "I was invisible, invisible to you" but the first time I heard it I found myself coming up with some kind of "Schoolhouse Rock" song with lyrics like "I was indivisible, indivisible by 2..." Then as I was driving home form work, this being the song that was playing as I left the building, I combined the two lyrics to some crappy mathgeek love-song "I was indivisible by you." I think it'd be a top ten hit. It sounds exactly like a song that is a top ten hit, so why wouldn't it be? In fact, the girls made us listen to Rick Dees and the Weekly Top 40 while we worked. I want to insert small blasting caps in my ears and set them off so I never have to listen to that again. Sure there sare three, four good songs on the countdown: Modest Mouse, Franz Ferdinand, Dashboard Confessional, but Rick has this way of making them seem like they're even more trite then the self-revelant crap that they play. When he went off about how Spiderman, in SM2, gives up being a superhero because he's demonized by the press, then saves everyone from Doc. Oc and everyone sees he's a superhero "in other words he is 'vindicated' now here's Dashboard Confessional with 'Vindicated' fromt he Spiderman 2 soundtrack..." it stripped both the movie and the song of all emotional punch. After the song finished he made some comment about how feminine Chris Carrabba's voice is.

I hate top 40 radio.
