A few years passed, but the Fox stays true! I still find it brilliant and consider it a stone mark in understanding music.
It is a phenomenal critique to modern music and the song that got overwhelming exposure – by far the one with the greatest reach.
It touches on pretty much all the clichés and does this by making good use of:
- childish lyrics;
- looking cool while offering very little in matter of quality;
- the deep voice, romantic image of the good looking lonely man with a painful amount of love to give (1:12)
- the entire must have in overrated songs: a glass in the hand, stainless steel handrails, sun and the blue of the sea;
- the silly and now way overused repetition of some vowel: eg: mo-o-o-o-orse & h-o-o-o-orse (1:41);
- unnecessary use of lasers and effects such as floating through the air and whatever when the message is a trivial one anyway.
All the above contribute to creating this brilliant critique which shows how low the music industry has fallen.

All songs sound the same? Mainstream music sucks?
Yes. Almost all today’s shoved down our throats songs are written by the same handful of songwriters! Even more, to insure exposure and marketing success, these songs are equally loud for their entire duration!
