Does anybody actually like THPGU?

'cos I think it's alright...

Lyrically it's not great, but it's quite catchy otherwise...it's one of the few Morrissey songs my mother likes! Morrissey's all about the pop music

Re: THPGU?

Which is your favourite of the new (post Ringleader) songs?


Should 'That's How People Grow Up' be included on Years of Refusal?


Favourite of the new (post-ROTT) songs so far?


The Moz/Smiths Top 100, Part 234: THAT'S HOW PEOPLE GROW UP


Did you buy 'That's How People Grow Up' and, if not, why not?

I guess I'm in the minority but I LOVE it. I didn't like it as much at first but it was a complete grower for me.

 

[NovemberJesus]

I have lived the whole story, literally

 

[mcrickson]

I too am a fan. I really don't think the lyrics are bad as some people say at all..

 

[MindlessRuffian]

I quite like it

 

[Dave]

it's awesome

 

[Peeks]

I personally LOVE it. The lyrics are so true, and I feel I can relate

 

[M-in-Oz]

I didn't like it as a single but somehow hearing it on YoR made me love it. It's quite catchy and one the whole family can enjoy.

Me too.

I'll stand against the prevailing winds and say I think it's a really good song.

Never a single, mind you, but a really good song.

 

[Maurice E]

when I first heard it live on the You Tube, I actually quite liked it.
the accordion part was a nice touch and the chorus melody was strong, and I hadn't made out that lyric.
but the recorded version is dire. the accordion all but disappeared. they put in some ludicrous novelty percussion. the chugging guitar sound is horrible. and that lyric is one of the clumsiest, most dim-witted things in the history of the written word. oh and the Kristeen Young intro is absolutely ghastly. unforgiveable.

I love this song, it is one of my favorites on YoR!

 

[Ryan]

I liked it immediately, and was happy it was released as a single. Then I was pleased to see it on Greatest Hits. Then it just became a pisstake when that and AYNIM both appeared on YOR. It just over-did it for me.

 

[somebody loved me]

I Love It!! I never quite understood all the hate
