worst song?

I like State of the nation too and my fav part starts with "from my home I traveled far, I drove in my stolen car............ " :D

Yes, but the lyric takes on a darker edge when you consider the whole tune is filled with fairly obvious euphemisms for the fact that Barney's got the raging horn. He's got a cock like the M1, allegedly, and that's gotta hurt....

Oh, and for the record, I think it's ace, and I even like all the remixes: it's a beautiful, blue skied day here in Aberdeen. We don't get many, and with a backdrop like that "Jetstream" sounds just fabulous. Perfect summer pop, like St Etienne. But with better dancing, obviously.

This and your earlier post about glassing students are the two most beautiful things I have read in ages.

Barney is a pretty tough fella. He probably drove 60mph to avoid the authorities.

jetstream isn't the greatest--it sounds like a take that song or mentos advert, not my thing (with the exception of 'back for good,' which kicks ass)--but world in motion is pretty damn awful, so i voted for WIM.

having said that, the E.T. effect applies to WIM--it's so ugly it's cute, and at this point has quite a bit of sentimental value. it's still embarassingly bad, though.

Maybe it will be in Mentos, advert,agent on every advert break,jeeezz!I hope its not used to advertise credit cards though I believe that they won't allow that I hope

WIFM sucks ass (No disrespect intended to the Football team/fans) Piss-poor NO song, but not their worst. (Times Change)

Many people in here think Jetstream is short of actually, earning the right to suck ass

Arnt you going to move this thread to a more appropriate forum also, Mr moderator?:D I'm sorry I did'nt know I was in an innappropriate Forum sorry about that.Why is it innappropriate again??? I must have missed that one mate:(

Im with you Bro.Its a nightmare ass sucker:dead:They don't want people to chew the fat on the subject in here tho.They wanna gag all noolers from slaggin it.Nazi style

As I am relatively new New Order fan (since 2001) I haven't heard all of "World In Motion". But in my opinion, "Jetstream" is not the worst song on the new album at least. "Guilt is Useless Emotion" is worse I think. "Jetstream" and "Guilt" are the only tracks that I have any real issues with on this album at all. Overall I think "Waiting for the Sirens Call" is much better than "Get Ready" and this is coming from a fan of "Get Ready". Of course, I have heard other NO tracks, but I only have "Get Ready" and "Technique"(it came highly recommended, and I liked it, not as much as Get Ready). I am also asking for a official copy of "Waiting for the Sirens Call" and "Substance" for my birthday.

I just figured the lyrics to Jetstream were obvious, and it is one of my favorite new order songs...

I was sure it had to do with how Curtis died one day before them flying to America...

as usual, Bernard mixes up different things into the song, but part of why I like Jetstream is how it has that Blue Monday May 19th melancholy....

I think a lot of you just think Sumner has totally lost it and writes crappy pop, and didn't even give this song a chance.

It is beautiful and classic new order.

edit: I mean, most new order classic singles mix the melancholy meanings with the illusion of shallow pop music... some of their best music appears to be vapid pop at first, but on further reflection is super heavy..... Jetstream follows this mad chemistry....

and, no, I am NOT saying the 'jetstream lover' is per se Curtis... but the theme is about him.... sumner has done this type of insertion of curtis theme in other love songs.

Hmm...

EN-GER-LAND

versus

J-E-T

It's a toss-up! Or as you Brits would say, a Tosser!

Please remove your head out of your rectum. Anyone trying to analyze the lyrics of a light pop song should be sent to the Gestapo with a yellow star of David on them.

P.S. For laughs I would love to see your analysis of Britney Spears' 'Oops I did it again' and how it relates to repeated American defeats in their efforts in imperialism around the world.

Hey Tarbox, be a dear and analyze how this picture relates to Guilt is a Useless Emotion, would you?

ah, violence and vitriol because the truth troubles you...

that is good, strike at me. much easier than realizing you are totally wrong about a song being 'light crap pop' -

new order don't write light pop.

these are lyrics of light pop?

(It's only one more day)

...

But you're gone Don't let it go If you don't try How will you know

I bet you think The Perfect Kiss is about making out too....

J-E-T is a bastion of melancholy!

Sorry for attacking you, but I had to infuse something interesting in this thread because your overreaching analysis just lends to boredom.

NO do not write light pop? Well if you feel that way, there is no way I can change your mind, and I hope your rectum does not interfere with the listening experience of NO.

tarbox where is your analysis of Alf's cucumber?

It fuckin timed out so you will never know Suffice to say,J-E-T definitly IS pop crap e.g.It contains the line"J-E-T,you are so good for me bayybe"record execs eh,they dont know how to market a band such as new order and its a disgrace they are not capitalising on the real potential fans instead of alienating them

i know you guys probably have a enough interpretations but here goes:

Short albeit

I always thought "the perfect kiss" may be about martin hannet. Some would say martin zero was deranged and i think he like himself some guns. Also, I read that barney would hang with him.

On second though this could also describe shawn ryder.

Far Reaching? Any thoughts?

I dont think any other bands that make dark love pops like new order.

world in motion is the best song ever. closely followed by rons 22.

When WIM was released it was a good song due to the tie-in with England's World Cup in 1990, but hearing it today it has lost its releavance especially naff is the John Barnes rap.

world in motion really is quite a good song. cheesy, but good. lots of interesting sections, etc. and the remixes weren't bad. i dont think jetstream has any business being here either, but whatever. its not better than world in motion. i have no idea what their worst song would be, but its not one of these. bad poll! bad poll!

quite so..bad poll. if i had to absolutely pick a worst song it would be shellshock... cheesy 80's crap. i can't believe no one has mentioned it.

WIFM came out about the time of the bnbirth of my first child. I had no clue about the World Cup implications. New Order released a single at a very important time in my life. I cannot hate this song.
