Stupid questions in music

[Johnny Canuck3]

'Are we humans or are we dancers?' - Killers

WTF kind of dumbass question is that? 'Are we humans, or are we some subset of humans?'

What other dumb questions have been asked through the medium of song?

Isn't it are we human or are we dancer?

 

[8ball]

Isn't it are we human or are we dancer?

Yup.

The Hunter S. Thompson quote was about America raising a generation of dancers.

i've always assumed - probably wrongly - that it's a Wizard of Oz reference

really? there was a thread recently about that song, someone said a 'chimney' was NI slang for a black eye

that makes sense but why would an irish slang word make it onto an NYC disco record?

[Maggot]

Is there anybody out there?

Why do fools fall in love?

Pardon me boy, is that the Chatanooga Choo choo?

Will you still love me tomorrow?

Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I'm 64?

With the possible exception of the Chatanooga Choo Choo, they're not stupid questions.

One of Santa's reindeer?!

Are Whiesnake the worst rock band in the world, ever?

Surely no easier and more stupid question than this exists?

The orchestra break in Whitesnake's "Still of the Night" still works for me, and the ensuing guitar solo, but then I was old enough to be messing around with foxy rock chicks when that came out... so... good times!

"Are we human, or are we dancers?"

Sorry mate but all the overblown vocal delivery and treated guitar chords in the world can't hide the fact that you're talking bollocks and your shit band has made one album that leaned towards being tolerable, followed by three more that aren't quite as good as the festering dung of a syphilitic camel.

 

[SpookyFrank]

Am i alone here in not actually remembering their first shag?

Nope

The only reason I was certain it even happened was the dose of clap I got.
