The Music Thread

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

In case y'all ever DJ a funeral -

What song is inappropriate to play at a funeral?
AI Overview


Inappropriate funeral songs often have lyrics about death, the devil, or are overly celebratory, making them unsuitable for a somber occasion. Examples include "Another One Bites the Dust" by Queen, "Highway to Hell" by AC/DC, and "Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead". Other examples are songs like "Stayin' Alive," "Happy," and "(Don't Fear) The Reaper," due to their upbeat or thematically unfitting nature.

Songs about death or the afterlife

"Another One Bites the Dust": by Queen
"Highway to Hell": by AC/DC
"Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead": from The Wizard of Oz
"(Don't Fear) The Reaper": by Blue Öyster Cult
"Death on Two Legs": by Queen
"I'm Not Gonna Miss You": by Glen Campbell

Songs with a celebratory or dismissive tone

"Happy": by Pharrell Williams
"Best Day of My Life": by American Authors
"I Will Survive": by Gloria Gaynor
"Stayin' Alive": by Bee Gees
"It's Too Late To Apologize": by Timbaland ft. OneRepublic
"Always Look on the Bright Side of Life": by Monty Python

Songs with potentially offensive lyrics

"Fuck Off and Die": by Green Day
"She's a Bitch": by Missy Elliott
"I Don't Give a F*: "** by Tupac

:D :wave:

I want "Highway to Hell" and "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" played at my funeral.
"Celebration" by Kool & the Gang
"Goodbye to You" by Scandal
"Bye Bye Bye" by NSYNC

They got more experimental after their first three albums. Bergtatt will always be the best. Perdition City is a really good album that veers from their early style.

2026 Grammys

I did not watch the first 2 hours, so missed a lot.

Chappell Roan Goes Topless in Shocking Grammys 2026 Red Carpet Moment
Chappell Roan, whose song “The Subway” is up for Best Pop Solo Performance and Record of the Year, stepped out at the Grammys 2026 red carpet in a bold red gown, only to strip down topless.

:o

Best Alternative Music Album
WINNER:
Songs of a Lost World, The Cure
Makes me nostalgic, I'll have to listen. Is it really "Alternative" if it's been around 40 years?

More nostalgia: There was a Devo film? It was nominated for Best Music Film, but didn't win.

One more nostalgia: Best Musical Theater Album
WINNER:
Buena Vista Social Club
I would go see that show in a heartbeat.

:oops: :oops: I am so out of touch. It wasn't until the tribute section that I learned that icons Jimmy Cliff and Rick Derringer both died in 2025 :( :( . I'm sure I missed several more. The camera work wasn't very home viewer friendly for seeing the names of all who passed.


Jimmy Cliff- Many Rivers To Cross, 1976
Last river crossed. :(


Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo - Rick Derringer & The Edgar Winter Group | The Midnight Special, November 2,1973
I was a big fan of The Midnight Special. I might have watched this live.

This is wild:

Well done:
How the Grammys Paid Tribute to Ozzy Osbourne 6 Months After His Death
The 2026 Grammys honored Ozzy Osbourne with a star-studded tribute during the Feb. 1 ceremony, six months after his death from a heart attack at the age of 76.


... During the show's "In Memoriam" segment—which also included musical nods to Roberta Flack and D'Angelo and a performance by Reba McEntire—Post Malone, (GUNS N' ROSES members) Slash and Duff McKagan, (RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS drummer) Chad Smith and (producer) Andrew Watt came together to perform “War Pigs” in Ozzy's honor.
This was funny:
Censors miss Lola Young's f-bomb during Grammys telecast: 'Sorry, sorry, sorry'
When Lola Young excitedly took the stage to accept the award for Best Pop Solo Performance for her hit "Messy," she dropped a few f-bombs.

The censors at the Grammy Awards Sunday night got a little bit... messy.

When Lola Young excitedly took the stage to accept the award for Best Pop Solo Performance for her hit "Messy," she dropped a few f-bombs, and the show missed one of them.

"I have no idea what to say because I didn’t have any speech prepared," she said. "Obviously I don’t, it’s messy do you know what I mean? I don’t know what to say. Thank you so much."

At this point she appeared to get censored briefly, before her audio cut back in just in time to hear her say, "F---ing, sorry, sorry sorry! My face... I’m very, very grateful for this. I love you everybody, everybody, everybody." ...
It was FUCKING great. :thumbup:

This was also funny. Blonde hair, stoned, or just being 79?
Cher Perfectly Flubs as Grammys 2026 Presenter
The article misses a couple of things. First, she indicated her delay in opening the card with the winner was because she thought it would appear on the teleprompter. Understandable. Then, having left before announcing Best Record of the Year and having to be called back, she stayed onstage with Kendrick Lamar, SZA and the "Luther" team while they did their acceptance speeches, which looked weird. At her age - same as Dementia Don's - the Grammys should have provided an escort to guide her through every step.

MAGA must be throwing a Super Bowl sized fit that Bad Bunny had three wins, including Album of the Year for Debí Tirar Más Fotos, becoming the first Spanish-language album to receive the honor. MAGA whining may have even helped him win. Pooor pooor bigots.

Just 6 days until the big game. Billions will watch while the viewership for EriKa KirK's White alternative half time show will be pathetic. Wiki doesn't even mention it.

I could care less if Bab Bunny does the halftime show. It was the first I had ever heard of him when he was named. Folks who let his choice affect them should chill out.

Don't forget she's competing with the Puppy Bowl too. And a bunch of expensive clever ads that lot of people tune in for. And then they have to guess what time halftime will actually be. It's not a wonderfully thought out project.

I think EriKa KirK covers the timing issue by having programming that lasts for more than 13 minutes. That should make her half dozen viewers happy.

:crybaby: Dozy Don has made a Grammys joke available to millions who missed it on the broadcast, smart:
Trump threatens to sue Trevor Noah over Epstein joke at Grammys

... Hosting the event, Noah said: "Song of the Year - that is a Grammy that every artist wants almost as much as Trump wants Greenland, which makes sense because Epstein's island is gone, he needs a new one to hang out with Bill Clinton."
:D :thumbup:
... Trump responded to Noah's joke by saying he would be "sending my lawyers to sue".

Posting on Truth Social, Trump wrote: "Noah said, INCORRECTLY about me, that Donald Trump and Bill Clinton spent time on Epstein Island. WRONG!!!

"I can't speak for Bill, but I have never been to Epstein Island, nor anywhere close, and until tonight's false and defamatory statement, have never been accused of being there, not even by the Fake News Media.

"Noah, a total loser, better get his facts straight, and get them straight fast."

He added: "Get ready Noah, I'm going to have some fun with you!" ...
:wtf: It's a freaking JOKE by a lame duck Grammys comic. Get over it.

BREAKING: Turning Point USA announces pathetic lineup for rival Super Bowl halftime show after Bad Bunny wins a Grammy — and slams ICE.

MAGA world is officially spiraling—and the Super Bowl is the latest battleground.

After days of speculation over whether it would even happen, Turning Point USA finally revealed its so-called “All-American Halftime Show” lineup today, just days before kickoff: Kid Rock, Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice, and Gabby Barrett. Yes, that’s the counterprogramming. Yes, this was the big reveal.

The rush is telling. Until now, even conservative media circles were quietly wondering whether TPUSA’s rival halftime event existed at all, given that no artists had been announced. Turns out the plan was real—it was just late, reactive, and dripping with culture-war desperation.

The conservative concert will stream across MAGA-friendly outlets like Daily Wire+, Real America’s Voice, and Turning Point’s own YouTube, X, and Rumble channels, running opposite the actual Super Bowl halftime show—headlined by Bad Bunny.

And here’s the part that sent MAGA over the edge.

Last night, Bad Bunny won the Grammy Album of the Year, cementing his status as one of the biggest artists on the planet. During his acceptance speech, he didn’t just thank collaborators—he criticized ICE, calling out the fear and trauma immigration enforcement has inflicted on Latino communities.

That’s the artist TPUSA is trying to “compete” with.

Kid Rock framed the matchup as “David vs. Goliath,” complaining about singing in Spanish and mockingly dismissing Bad Bunny’s performance. But the irony is rich: one side has a Grammy-winning global superstar using his platform to defend immigrants, while the other scrambled together a last-minute livestream to reassure conservatives upset by diversity, Spanish lyrics, and basic human empathy.

TPUSA insists its show has “no agenda” and simply celebrates “faith, family, and freedom.” Meanwhile, its entire existence is an agenda—launched explicitly because conservatives are furious the NFL didn’t cater to them.

Even Donald Trump weighed in, claiming he “doesn’t know who” Bad Bunny is and announcing he’ll skip the game entirely. That might be the most honest part of the story.

While MAGA clings to a parallel halftime universe on Rumble, the rest of the world will be watching a Grammy winner who just told ICE exactly what millions of Americans already believe.

One show is scrambling. The other already won.

Please like and share to spread the news!
:laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling:
Given this C-list lineup much of MAGA will tune in to Bad Bunny to see what the fuss is all about.
