Tears In A Vial posted:Smoke on the Water is about a recording studio burning down?  A hotel burning down. Although there is a recording studio in the song too, it just doesn't burn down. I'm not sure where the drug idea came from though, unless the guy just heard the word smoke and assumed.

The point was, it doesn't matter what the song is 'about'. If it has a beat, dance to it. People get way too stuck up about music. e: and to a 16 year old nerd, it's totally about weed, and drugs are bad.

There's a real estate company (or manufactured housing... can't recall which) in Japan that used "House of the Rising Sun" as the lyrical touch to all their commercials. Complete with "it has been the ruin of many a poor boy." Not really listening to the song, I think.

A bank here used Bittersweet Symphony ("trying to make ends meet, you're a slave to the money, then you die"), but only the violin track, not the vocals.

It really depends on how he said it I guess? If I order something and it turns out to be not what I expected I'll eat it because I've worked food service before and hated every customer but "spicy chicken wings" are loving buffalo wings, sorry if you're retarded.

The Schwa posted:A bank here used Bittersweet Symphony ("trying to make ends meet, you're a slave to the money, then you die"), but only the violin track, not the vocals. There's a strip club in the city that has speakers at the entrance playing a songlist on loop 24/7 and one of the songs is Bittersweet Symphony. There's something profound about walking past a closed strip club at 7:00am on the way to work and hearing that song playing up from the shuttered doorway.

Frostwerks posted:but "spicy chicken wings" are loving buffalo wings, sorry if you're retarded. So, how would you actually list the food that was served in this case on a menu? Because from what JDM3 said, the menu literally described the food. If you see a menu item that is a literal description of a food item and you order it and are surprised that it is exactly what the menu said, you are the retard.

I've never heard of wings being served cut into pieces. That would remove like two thirds of the fun. Although now I'm back to being confused about the existence of wings that are non-Buffalo wings.

A FUCKIN CANARY!! posted:I've never heard of wings being served cut into pieces. That would remove like two thirds of the fun. Really? You've never seen wings like this?  That's pretty much the "default." When the wing and drumette are still attached, it's messier, and more annoying to eat. I think they're just the right amount of work the normal way. As for "non Buffalo" style wings:

They were wings. Yes? Yes. They were spiced, were they not? Yes, they were. They were not, and were not described as, "wings in BUFFALO SAUCE." Spiced fried chicken *is* a thing. Paprika and other stuff in the seasonings. The menu said EXACTLY what was offered. YOU just expected something different.

You're all leaving out the critical accompaniment that made me think "Oh, this must be Buffalo Wings (faint unthought undercurrent = perhaps that's trademarked so they HAVE to say it this way)" - served with BLUE CHEESE and CELERY.  Also, if "commenting/mild complaint to the waitress" = "spergbombing" then it is clear that 50% of Americans have Aspergers.

She's also in several episodes of Raising Hope, often with her ukelele. She has a fantastic song at the start of season 2 to catch up the audience on what happened in season 1.
