AIN'T NOBODY VERSUS I FEEL FUR YOU

[craner]

Yeah, 50% of the world with taste.

I think I've noted this here before, but 'Shape of You' is literally the most popular song in Antigua.

I suspect his popularity is tied up with a particular kind of Englishness that the Harry Potter books and films successfully sold to the world.

 

[Corpsey]

Protect ya neck vs Shook Ones is along the same lines because you'd have to be a contrarian of some sort to prefer Protect Ya Neck.

 

[luka]

In fact I'm Sure it is. No Harry Potter movies no Sheerhan.

It's a catchy Choon, isn't it, backed by a massive media machine.

It probably works better in translation cos you can't hear what he's saying and you might not know he's a ginger englishman.

I seriously doubt it's that popular BECAUSE he's English.

 

[Corpsey]

Inevitable that this thread would wind up with me defending Ed Sheeran.

 

[luka]

It's not a catchy tune. Craners girlfriend couldn't hum it and nor could I.

 

[Corpsey]

Ironically, given my preference for I feel for you, I'm a populist who believes Vox Populi Vox Dei.

In other words, Vox Sheeran Vox Dei.

 

[Corpsey]

It's not a catchy tune. Craners girlfriend couldn't hum it and nor could I.

You'd have to be musically crippled not to be able to.

No offence.

 

[luka]

Craner he's saying your girlfriend is a cripple

 

[Corpsey]

I'm not saying it's not repulsive, but it's obviously catchy. Like herpes.

 

[luka]

It's absolutely because he looks like a character from Harry Potter a tubby ginger who gets picked on by the mean kid at magic school

 

[craner]

You try humming any of his songs. You won't be able to. The 'catchiness' is from his supposed lyrical skills, which also don't exist.

Any time me and Craner agree there's no longer any room for doubt. It's Apollo and Dionysus shaking hands.

 

[luka]

Corpsey is a music cripple.

 

[craner]

Case closed on Sheeran.

 

[craner]

Closed like a tomb stone.

 

[luka]

And not Jesus' one either. Cos that one opened again.

 

[craner]

On the other hand, this is only a distraction from the brutal war of attrition going on about I FEEL FUR YOU and ain't nobody.

 

[Corpsey]

The verse of Shape of You sounds like 'Another one bites the dust'.
