The Bluemoon Song Cup 2023

I love, love, love Joy Division.

But I simply can not listen to New Order due to Barney Sumner's lyrics being literally the worst of any band ever. Yes, even worse than Oasis and Janet Jackson.

There's also the small matter of Shine On You Crazy Diamond being of truly legendary status and being by one of the most gifted bands in musical history.
Did you ever stop to think that Barney might be being ironic? Because if you haven’t, you should have.
 
I expect the Scouse band wagon jumping mop top twats to be in there in the mix.
I still want to see the draw done live on YouTube though. The integrity of this competition must be maintained.
Integrity? With that tone deaf twat still having 57 songs still in the competition? Wow. That particular boat sailed a long time ago Screams.

Having an opinion about music is one thing. Not bothering to listen very thoughtfully nor read much about a band and deciding to offer up opinions anyway is quite another.

Every second counts
When I am with you
I think you are a pig
You should be in a zoo

You’re a superstar, yes you are,

I feel your presence everywhere
In the corner over there

Your country is a wonderful place
It pales my England into disgrace
To buy a drink that is so much more reasonable
I think I’ll go there when it gets seasonable

Oh, love is found in the east and the west
But when love is at home, it’s the best
Love is the cure for every evil
Love is the air that supports the eagle
from Thieves Like Us, 1984

In a manger like Christ I lay
Yellow fever, yellow hay
Feel the rhythm, sweetest sound
Making, breaking sacred ground

Here comes love, it’s like honey
You can’t buy it with money
from Crystal, 2001

They’ll always hit you and hurt you
Defend and attack
There’s only one way to beat them
Get ’round the back
Catch me if you can
‘Cause I’m the England man
And what you’re looking at
Is the master plan
World in Motion, 1990

The afternoon was very clear
The sun was beating down on me
I got thirsty for a beer
That I had to go to sea
The sea was very rough
It made me feel sick
But I like that kind of stuff
It beats arithmetic
from ‘Slow Jam’. 2001

Profound or ironic? I don't think so.

So pleased, by the way, that you have studied me so much that you know exactly how much I have/haven't listened to NO before offering my opinion. Apologies that it isn't worth anything like as much as your high and mighty exalted one :-)
