Gooses, geeses
I want a goose to lay gold eggs for Easter
At least a hundred a day
And by the way

I want a feast
I want a bean feast
Cream buns and doughnuts
And fruitcake with no nuts
So good you could go nuts
Give it to me now

I want a ball
I want a party
Pink macaroons
And a million balloons
And performing baboons and
Give it to me now

I want the world
I want the whole world
I want to lock it
All up in my pocket
It's my bar of chocolate
Give it to me now

I want today
I want tomorrow
I want to wear 'em
Like braids in my hair and
I don't want to share 'em

I want a party with roomfuls of laughter
Ten thousand tons of ice cream
And if I don't get the things I am after
I'm going to scream

I want the works
I want the whole works
Presents and prizes
And sweets and surprises
Of all shapes and sizes
And now
Don't care how, I want it now
Don't care how, I want it now

Years ago, MTV was about music. But, since all the new stuff is just like the old stuff, there's no appeal in music anymore. Next time you're on a trip, pack a book.

With this TV stations like Mtv its the same as with the radio stations.

I listen to Metal and Rock. There was this radio station you just turned on and could listen for ours of good rock and metal music far away from this pop and HiPhOp dumbshit.

Same Mtv. Remember how cool it was to watch Beavis and Butthead in the old days. Or what was the name of the guy with this crazy show who used to came straigt to the kamera and nearly bump his face into it (the real anything not sure) or Mtv´s Oddities with the Head etc. The rest was pure music or music related.

Today in this multi million dollar music and entertainment companies owned biz its just about quota quota quota.
MtV looks like a parking spot for everything from 6 to 21 years. The music sucks anyway.
The a.m. radiostation only plays known rock and metal the rest ist pop and Hiphoppy bullshit.
Pimp my ride (note in Germany cause of small money: pimp my bicylce (i am not kidding you !) )).
So i am sick of it and Mtv is truly dead and died looooong ago.

I don´t watch tv except for some series (like CSI, Monk, Dr. House) and DVD.

I am so sick of it.

Bah, when I see crap like this, flaunting of wealth etc., I say something sarcastic and switch the channel.
There is no more time for revolt - the annual financial reports need to be collated into nice leatherbound folders for the directors to peruse...

There will always be people who 'have' and people who 'don't'.
Get used to it.

I credit MTV with the sorry state that music is today. We have a generation of kids that parked their tails in front of the TV instead of taking piano or any kind of music lessons. The result? Britney Spears, Spice Girls, and the like.

I don't necessary think music is in a sorry state, althought if you looked at the charts you might think so, but i don't think the charts repesent truely what people are listening to anymore.

With mp3s people now have access to more music than every before, internet radio stations can give you any musical style on demand, new bands can create a website and "make it" through word of mouth if they are good enough.

There's still good music out there but the media corporations are forcefeeding the public with utter pap throught MTV and radio playlists but I stay away from those anyway

But I do hope to god these manafactured bands are only a passing fad..

I never watch MTV but thanks for the heads up on MSSS, watching spoiled teen queens and their brainless parents turn into train wrecks is something I just have to check out.

While I'm always up for a good "tarring and feathering", I fear MTV does nothing more than feed people the cotton candy they desire.

Sign of the times bro...

I hope you're doing well Sasquatch. Good to see you're still here and posting. 🙂

Over here in the sometime lovely, sometime sh!thole culture that is AUS, our music charts aren't derived from CD sales, but from CD distribution. It's a joke! Whenever Idol finishes, the person that won always ends up 1st on our charts because the record companies ships hundreds of thousands of CD's to retail outlets. And two weeks later the their CD can be found in the $5 bin because nobody bar 9-15 yo's buys them. Then they win all the awards for "most album sales" etc. It's like the record companies are trying to trick us into thinking that their music is actually better than hearing cats f**ck near your window at 3 in the morning. They really twist my tit!

MTV should bring back Ren and Stimpy.
