But why bother if you're not going to do something different with it?

I think posting of song lyrics, in their entirety, should warrant at least a three month ban.

I don't get the fuss about this song...but I did like this in an American Psycho way:

I hate Africa by Toto. Its presence on "my" Time Capsule on Spotify is one reason I'll never play "my" Time Capsule. In fact, when I read the songs on it I was deeply insulted. Deeply. They seem to think I'm a Top Gear presenter.

(Also, Weezer. How could you?)

Young people's talk. Don't trouble yourself.

Precisely. I have a girlfriend. Cashback.

I told my friend this.

Her reply: "Don't they just have that one 'Teenage Dirtbag' song?"

Started listening to the Weezer version; that's 1 1/2 seconds of my life down the shitter.

The song really is the most dreadful dirge.

I don't get this use of dirge. Dirges can be great. Africa by Toto is neither great nor a dirge. It's quite chipper (my opinion of what constitutes 'chipper' in music may have been affected by my recent discovery of Sunn 0))) who I've been listening to constantly for about a week now)
