Sarah McLachlan "U want me 2"

Maybe this should go in MPSIMS because it’s mostly an observation and not a question but it’s a commentary on the music industry so I stuck it here. Anyway apparently Sarah McLachlan is coming out with a new single called “U Want Me 2”. Really? Sarah? I expect the lingua texting in song titles from rap artists and teen pop idols, but not you! Who’s next? Andrea Bocelli? Josh Groban?

FWIW, Prince has been doing it since 1981. Any chance he wrote her new song?

Oh, Sarah, do not fall into the trap! You’re above all that! (And also you’re a bit too old for it as well.)

I hate titles like this and always edit my mp3 tags to reflect the proper grammar even if it’s actually not the title of the song.

I, myself, have always loved “You Are Not Anything Except A Hound Dog” by Elvis Presley and “I Am Not Misbehaving” by Louis Armstrong. After all, “It Does Not Mean a Thing If It Lacks That Swing”…

Cute, but I was referring specifically to titles where numbers replace words, or “you” is shortened to just the letter U.

I’m currently listening to “CSS Suxxx”.

Perhaps she’s just trying to follow in the footsteps of the greatness that is Sk8tr Boi.

Don’t listen to him Sarah! Nothing compares 2U!

There’s always a chance Prince has written anything anyone does. :slight_smile:

What do you do with songs by U2?

If any of their songs worm their way onto my computer, I delete them, sprinkle holy water on the system, sink it in a concrete-filled barrel and then dump it into the nearest ocean. (Being in Kansas City, it’s a heckuva drive to any ocean. But worth the trip.)

Why, what do you do with their songs? :stuck_out_tongue:

Play some Negativland instead.

My er…girlfriends… favorite songs are “Build N a Myst R E” and “Fumb L N 2-ors X ta C”

Elderly man river, that elderly man river,
He must know something, but he doesn’t say anything…
