....I did it MY ....... WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!


Honestly, I can't listen to the original any more without Sid invading my brain.

At least they changed up the lyrics.

In my head I always hear either SV or Sammy, depending on my mood at the time.

Yeah, that's not a no-talent moron you want in your brain. (There's a joke about there only being room for one, there, that I'm specifically not making.)

I'm not going to push back on the no-talent moron bit, mostly 'cuz it's true.

But I do think that he provides the definitive version of the song. Because the original is ... well ... it's all text. And Sid, for all of his unearned braggadocio, gives it the exact reading that the song requires.

IMO, etc.

It kinda figures that Sid would make the definitive version of a not-very-good song, dunnit?

When you add the least self-aware person in the world to the least self-aware song in the world, you suddenly manage to create an amazingly self-aware and ironic text....

As I always say, some things are so stupid that they circle back around to being clever. This is one of those things.

I could see a self-aware performer doing one of two things with the song: Either leaning on kitsch, playing up the text's lack of irony; or performing it entirely ironically, perhaps creating subtext that the text is entirely a lie the narrator is telling themself. Seems as though Sid stumbled on the former, there, easily as walking through a glass door ...

I once read a quote from some one who preferred working in business and last night it popped into my head "one goal, no soul"

As far as I can tell Sid Vicious is the musical equivalent of a Kardashian
