I’m sure there’s a deeper meaning to this. 🤔

the hatred i have for that song is unknowably immense

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 2 points 4 days ago

Understandable.

It's a fairly middle-of-the-road, while being catchy and therefore played all over the place.

I've felt similar about a lot of popular songs in recent years. They just feel bland, but some parts still get stuck in my head every so often.

I dont think Ive heard it, but anyone who brags about that garbage in a song is guaranteed to be a miserable excuse for a human.

[–] PoastRotato@lemmy.world 21 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Even for hyperbole, this is a crazy thing to say about someone just because you don't like their drink of choice.

[–] higgsboson@piefed.social 10 points 4 days ago

Yes, I acknowledge that is worded too strongly.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

What garbage?

[–] higgsboson@piefed.social 3 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Jack Daniels. Just a mediocre whiskey nevertheless loved by people who dont know any better.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago (2 children)

It's a fine whisky. Not everything has to be the best, particularly for those who aren't rich.

[–] Velypso@sh.itjust.works 7 points 4 days ago

Jack daniel's is the patron of whiskey. Over priced for what you get.

There are plenty of other options in the same price range that dont suck.

[–] AugustWest@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Jack Daniels no 7 is crap. Some of their other offerings are fantastic, but they are also more like $70 per bottle.

There is plenty of other whiskey in the same price range as no 7 that isn’t a disgusting mess of sugar and paint thinner. Wild Turkey 101, Buffalo Trace, etc.

Someone should make a Pearly Baker whiskey.

Your subjective opinion. Some people just enjoy things and don't find the need to compare them against everything else possible. I never said it was the best or even "good". I enjoy it, maybe largely out of the fact that I drank it when I was young and it's nostalgic. Doesn't matter why ultimately though, it's been popular enough to be sold internationally for decades and that says people like it. OP thinks one is probably a garbage human for claiming to like a specific whisky and that's pretty idiotic if you ask me.

No, you are strawmanning by misrepresenting my comment, which was specifically focused on bragging in a song about that whisky.

anyone who brags about that garbage in a song

So not targeted at you unless you are crowing about it in a song.

That was nevertheless worded poorly, since I dont know Shaboozy. Sorry about your shitty taste in booze.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world -3 points 4 days ago

Sorry about your shitty taste in booze.

There it is. Confirming your moronic judgemental pointless bullshit, proving me righter than I knew. For the record I barely drink liquor and could give two shits about what's considered good or not.

Can you blow my whistle baby whistle baby start to blow~ hmmm hmmm hmm

[–] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 days ago

I do not know this song, so in my head its sang/shouted in the same style as Ante Up by MOP. Pretty sure that made it funnier.
