the 3 days before raya post
I didn’t want to. But I had lost my car CD case for sometime now (which includes my original Green Day’s Nimrod, dammit!) and I was getting tired of Tiesto’s In Search of Sunrise 4 playing every time I am in the car, and I’d been a tad lazy to burn any new CDs. So I switched the player to various radio stations. Favourite radio station is still Red 104.9 of course, but I am incorrigible when it comes to switching to various radio stations. And that was how I listened to the entire bit of FlyFM’s 10.30 pm flirt something yesterday.
There was this guy who wanted to go out on a date with a girl whom he met on Facebook. Apparently they had been conversing via Facebook for sometime, and according to him it was getting a tad flirtatious, and he wanted to get to know this girl better. Why he can’t just pick up the phone and call up this girl, instead of asking the FlyFM crew to do it for him to be broadcasted on national radio, I don’t know.
Anyway the girl turned him down. “It’s just the Internet, not to be taken seriously,” I paraphrase. Damn malu sial hahaha!
Sigh, I miss FlyGuy 
Then yesterday while driving home, MixFM played Aerosmith’s “I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing”. And this morning HitzFM played it. Guess we’re going to be hearing it quite often now that it’s back on rotation.
I can’t begin to tell you how much I detest the song. The movie “Armageddon” was a targeted sob-fest, and the #1 single from the album ranks as one of the sappiest commercialised emo tune next to Celine Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On”, both bound to make lustlove-angst teens and middle-aged tortured souls cum in their pants sooner than a 10-inch double-ended dildo. Seriously, check out this list of songs (by no means exhaustive) by Dianne Warren. I bet you that one or more items in the list means something to you — a break-up song, a first-time-sex song, a getting-together song, a walking-down-the-aisle song… in fact I am willing to to lay my last 5 bucks on the line for this. While you are holed up in a corner on your bed hugging your comfort pillow with your blankets wrapped tightly around you, sobbing your pretty eyes out while listening to “Have You Ever” by Brandy on an endless repeat basis, wishing that he would call and everything would be all right again, remember that Dianne Warren is laughing while making serious bank. She is laughing because she has never been married, has never been in love, and does not enjoy dating (link). She is making a mint because you are human and you go through the ups and downs of love, something that she cannot relate to because by her own admission, nothing she wrote came from her own personal experience. In short, you = sucker.
Don’t get me started on Aerosmith. I cannot for the life of me believe that they enjoyed recording the song; the same band who wrote and recorded “Falling In Love (Is Hard On The Knees)” and “Pink”, which in my not so humble opinion contains the second most ‘leave it to your imagination’ lyrics next to Inner Circle’s Sweat. Oh I have a dirty mind? Forgive me, I am only human. Dianne Warren is not. I win.
I guess this would go better under ‘For X’s Sake’, but then it’s not really a rant; more like astute observations on reality.

Well… your observations on Dianne Warren songs are way too astute for my tastes
Hey, look at Siti Nurhaliza. She puts so much emotiveness into her singing, even though back when she started she couldn’t possibly have experienced a lot of what she was singing about.
I chalk it up to the human imaginationlor. But yeah, some of Warren’s over-the-top sap sounds more like how we imagine love to be…when we don’t know any better. :p Hee hee.
i agree. malaysian radio all starting to sound the same. fly fm used to be so different. sometimes hitz and fly are playing the SAME songs at the same time!
i’m going to pretend this wasn’t an asskicking bitchery on ridiculously cliched sappy songs and download all the songs on that long list. hehehehehe.
oh who am i kidding, i already have some of those.
” I don’t wanna close my eyesssssssssssssssssssss”
c’mon sing along, you know the lyrics, wink
Young lady, there is nothing wrong with Aerosmith. They are the bestest band of the nineties and noughties, just as Scorpions were the bestest band of the seventies and eighties.
“I Don’t Want to Miss A Thing” is a classic, in the same league as “Sweet Emotion” and “Janie’s Got A Gun”. And I cried at the end of Armageddon after Bruce Willis’ character sacrificed himself.

This is my idea of a real date song..
I Want Your Sex (Part III)
It’s late
Time for bed
So I sit, and wait
For that gin and tonic
To go to your head
I know
It’s a devious plan
But it’s the only way that I know
To get those big bad car keys
Out of your hand
You know
That I remain a gentle man
But even so
There’s only so much
A gentleman can stand
Sleep with me
Oh sleep with me tonight
My cards are on your table
My dreams are in your bed
If I was able
I’d be there instead
And I am 99% certain this one will NOT get airplay n Malaysian radio, and I like it that way.
I remember this aerosmith song was used in that movie… The Sweetest Things and how everyone in the room was singing this song just to get the girl to relax her throat so that she can disengage herself mouth from her partner’s jewel!!! Wahahaha… that was the only time I like the song….
Anyway, when sad cannot hear love song la… sekali, commit suicide…. The other day I was playing around You Tube and found this old like baju romok song by that engelbert fella… AM I THAT EASY TO FORGET… WAHHH… I tell you… listen to it and you feel like dying. Now, i understand why ppl at that era so HENG commit suicide. WHERE GOT SO DRAMA one.. Actually, all his song very drama one…. Sigh….
Oei! If you miss FlyGuy, listen to Fly FM lor. Haha….
