In a sure sign that the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are waiting at a stoplight just up the street, the Associated Press is reporting that the cast of ‘Glee’ has just surpassed Elvis for the most ‘Hot 100′ singles on the Billboard charts. Why don’t we dig up John Lennon and spit on him while we’re at it?
Since the show debuted on FOX 18 months ago (and I still haven’t seen one episode – yay, me!), they have managed to land 118 songs* in the Top 100. That’s more than The Beatles. More than MJ. And now, more than Elvis. Five more, to be exact.
Apparently, you don’t have to WRITE music anymore to be recognized as an ‘artist’.
And to make this announcement even worse, it comes just moments after Lady Gaga‘s new Madonna ripoff became the 1,000th #1 Song* in Billboard’s 52 year history.
Shoot me. Just shoot me now.
*Editor’s Note: The use of the term ‘song’ when referring to a ‘Glee’ or ‘Lady Gaga’ performance may not be entirely correct. “Xerox, archetype, carbon copy, cast, cover, clone, counterfeit, ditto*, facsimile, forgery, hard copy, impersonation, impression, likeness, mirror, model, parallel, photocopy, reflection, replica, replication, representation, reproduction, simulation, or RIP OFF” are likely more accurate.

One Response to “Guess Who Just Kicked Elvis In the Crotch?”
I was spit on. In Grade 7. I was the new kid, and a very large mean boy decided that he didn’t like me so he tormneted me, and one day he spit on me in front of everyone. I went ballistic on him, screamed profanities, and hauled off and punched him in the face. So. That probably wasn’t the best reaction that I could have had, but he did stop bullying me. Had I walked away, he probably would have kept at it. The same may have been for you. Although, these bullies likely have home issues which make them sad and broken children, I think it’s okay to stand up for ourselves and our friends to put a stop to it. You were a child. I was a child. We did what we did at the time based on the best of our experience. Perhaps it’s not what we would do now as adults, but it stopped the bullying and I think that’s a good thing. I wish more bullied children could stop the torment.
