Weird And Oddly Specific Playlists

a place for weird, unique, or oddly specific playlists


the rules:

  1. be civil. let’s try to keep our community as chill as possible. no bullying, zero tolerance for transphobia, hate speech or any of that bigoted bullshit.
  1. be content with the content. if someone didn't make a playlist the way you would, make your own and post it please. no bullying, no picking on, mocking or complaining about anyones playlist or musical tastes.
  1. remember: all music is good music to someone. general discussions about music you like and don’t like is fine, but please refrain from comments that will make someone feel bad about what they enjoy.
  1. no self-promotion. this is not a group for promoting your music or a business, website, app, instagram.. you get the idea. it's just playlists in here

I feel like I'm missing the joke with the NSYNC song

[–] jedibob5@lemmy.world 58 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Justin Timberlake's inflection when he sings it makes it sound like "It's gonna be May." It's been a long-standing meme/in-joke on Tumblr to post pictures of Timberlake in late April captioned with the incorrect lyric. KYM

Ah thanks. How's your back feel today?

This year's evolution of the meme has become posting a pot of boiling water. The meme goes: on May 1st post pics of Justin Timberlake > his hair in that music video looks like ramen noodles > just pictures of ramen noodles > pots of boiling water.

Counting Crows - A Long December
Soundgarden - 4th of July
3rd Secret - Last Day of August
Green Day - Wake Me up When September Ends Collective Soul - December
Linkin Park - My December

Am I the only one that's annoyed the list isn't sorted?

This seems like an appropriate time to bring up December by EW&F

Yes it's a Christmas song, yes it's just September with slightly different lyrics, yes it's bad, no I won't apologise.

long December - counting crows

November rain - gnr

March of the pigs - nin

4th of July by sound garden is excellent.

[–] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago

What about October Rust or November Rain?

[–] PartyAt15thAndSummit@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 weeks ago

Duran Duran - Secret Oktober [sic]

Not a big fan otherwise, but I really like this one.

[–] foggianism@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Deep Purple - April

Name a song with December in the title which isn't a christmas song. Or even December in the lyrics at all.

Edit: Okay, guys, my point kinda fades when you all have so many good answers.

[–] Glitterbomb@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

I don't think they consider Linkin Park - My December to be a Christmas song.

[–] SacralPlexus@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Counting Crows - A Long December

December by Collective Soul.

[–] lastunusedusername2@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Long December - Counting Crows also, December - Collective Soul

[–] foggianism@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

"Proljeće je 13. u decembru" by the Ex-Yugoslav rock band Azra. A song about the student protests of 1968.
