In another shocking setback for my fading sense of self, Bub has secured his stranglehold over the entire media of music with a series of brilliant titular manipulations.
From the Beatles (‘All You Need is Bub’) to Taylor Dayne (‘Bub Will Lead You Back’), even Stevie Wonder (‘Part-time Bubber), apparently no musical artist is safe from his infectious lyrical modifications.
It’s not just the lyrics, though, he’s also bastardized the meaning of every song to its very ideological core. No longer are Band of Horses singing about my wife. Nope, it’s now ‘No One’s Gonna Bub Your More Than I Do.’ Blasphemy.
‘The Greatest Love of All’ is no longer about crack cocaine, as the author writes it, or, as my twelve year-old brain interpreted, masturbation (“Learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all?” C’mon) It’s all about Bub. The smooth sounds of the 80s, 90s and beyond on K-BUB 105. All Bub, all the time.
