Cool Songs with Profanity, vol. 1: Bitch

The main reason why I'm a member of this blog is to make sure that the "cool songs with profanity" (?! I didn't make it) tag gets -- well, let's not jump the gun with the profanities.

"Konichiwa Bitches" - Robyn
Ridiculous lyrics aside, this song is just incredibly robust. And pretty freaking rad, if we're going to go with the r- adjectives.


"Smack My Bitch Up" - The Prodigy
The title speaks for itself. Being a club classic doesn't hurt either.

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World features a pretty awesome selection of music. As any good movie that's got this many bands and hipsters should, really.

The best song in the movie is, logically, by the only band that's made it to rock-stardom. I've pretty much had "Black Sheep" on repeat since I got home last night:

["Black Sheep" - The Clash at Demonhead]

I still can't decide whether I prefer the movie version or original (posted below for comparison's sake). I really like Brie Larson's vocals here, but Metric's version has been growing on me. They're virtually the same though, really.

["Black Sheep" - Metric]

I also liked Beachwood Sparks' dreamy cover of "By Your Side," which definitely fits the shy, awkward beginning to Scott and Ramona's relationship better than the smoothly romantic original... somehow it sounded better to me in the movie, though.

And finally, "Invaders Must Die," which isn't in the movie but is in one of its trailers.

And yes, it is as awesome as it sounds.
