tainted love

this morning, kz and i shared some giggles over reading a forum thread with youtube links to a plethora of 80's chick rock. you know - the bangles, tiffany, blondie, belinda carlisle, and many other one-hit wonders whose names you never knew. why the 80's was so abundant with those, i cannot say. anyway, some people posted other "omg look my favorite 80's ballad" links to stuff like ac/dc. which is totally not in the same vein as the others; it doesn't fit at all. they just didn't get it.

later i was flipping through channels trying to find one of the 7 or so law and order repeats which are on simultaneously at any given time - though usually, i've seen all of them already. and i happened across the intro of the show 'charmed,' which i've been unfortunate enough to have viewed the last 3 minutes of multiple episodes while waiting for something that doesn't suck to follow. so i'd never been privy to the theme song before - an utterly butchered, heartless and nauseating rendition of the smiths' 'how soon is it now.' completely unacceptable, to have so wronged one of my favorite songs of any musical era. it was pretty much the most painful thing i've ever experienced since that time i thought it would be a good idea to tweeze the hairs off my big toe. they totally didn't get it either.
