I will now commit Lounge suicide.

I like "The Best of Times" by Styx. It's true. I've loved that song ever since it was released (1981?)

Never bought an album by Styx, though. The only songs I know from them are this one, Babe, and Mr. Roboto. (WTF is this song about???)

Am I dead?

1. I don't hink there's anything wrong with it. But this is going to be good.

:popcorn:

[Hugin]

2. I have no opinion on the matter.

You like what you like.

[motely36]

3. I like it too

I actually have Styx Greatest Hits, and I listen to it!

:o

[Crazy Guggenheim]

4. Yeah it's bad what they did to Dennis DeYoung!

:popcorn:

[bbernardini]

8. I saw them without him...they don't need him.

Don't get me wrong, I love Styx with Dennis DeYoung, but I saw them on the REO/Styx/Journey tour, and they kicked all kinds of ass. DeYoung was not missed at all.

5. Now if only Steve Perry were to join Styx........

...and invite Scott Stapp to be the songwriter.........

[AlCzervik]

6. please---i love the Carpenters, i wouldn't pass judgement on you

[Arugula Latte]

7. Yes! You MUST be put out of your own misery.

:nuke:

9. Hey, some people are Styx snobs. No biggie.

There's nothing wrong with a well-written pop song with good vocal harmonies, even if the lyrics aren't the best.

"Mr. Roboto" doesn't make much sense unless you consider it in the context of the album in which it resides.

10. I also would like to know what in the hell "Mr. Roboto" is about...

I think it can be seen as a reaction to the automation of many working-class jobs, and thus the threat of technology to the workers...

However, in the interest of science, I have run the lyrics through a translator in several languages, and here is the result:

Arigato de Domo, Mr. Roboto,
arigato Domo of hima of restrained oh-oo, Mr. Roboto,
tai of shiri from OE von Himitsu you asks oneself,
who I to being machine or mannequin
with pieces in Japan for it provided,

I is modren humans
I has a secret that I had hidden myself under my skin my heart
the human east, my blood cooks my brain I.B.M.
Ainsi, if you see acting to me étrangement,
does not surprise that I am just a man,
who needed someone to hide itself and any part
in order me to maintain living
just to hide itself in order to maintain me,
who any part lives, in order around me to maintain living
I uis modren l ' homme J ' ai un secret que for each m ' étais caché sous mA peau mon coeur humain,
mon sang est bout, mon cerveau I.B.M.
Ainsi SI vous ME voyez agir étrangement,
ne soyez pas étonné que ever suis juste un homme qui
A European Union besoin de quelqu ' un,
et SE more cacher quelque part
pour ME maintenir vivant
juste pour ME maintenir vivant quelque part
pour SE more cacher pour ME maintenir vivant
per ne suis pas un robot sans émotions
i ' m pas ce que vous voyez ever came,
in order to help you with your problems,
then we cannot be free I are a hero,
I are no rescuer, forget that what you know me are just a man,
its circumstances its order exceeded over mine
to order all need order, I have need of order
we all need order
I am modren humans, that in the back a mask hidden
in such a way nobody others my true identity
to see itself can

arigato from Domo, Mr. Roboto
arigato from Domo of domo of domo...,
M. Roboto, arigato de Domo de domo de domo...,
Mr. Roboto, domo of domo...,
Mr. Roboto For, which make the work,
which nobody, thanks you much wants
and you it thanks much Mr. Roboto
For me, who helps around me,
too to escape, the time, where I had to thank you,
thank, thank that I thank you please the level of the problem
which can be seen to thank want:

Machines too much technology, in order to save our lives.
The machines entmenschlichen.
The time finally came to waste around this mask
everyone in such a way can my true identity see...

I am Kilroy! Kilroy! Kilroy! Kilroy!

I hope that clears things up for everyone....

11. Puhleeze - that's not suicide - that's just a cry for help.

Now, if you really wanted to commit DUicide, you would have posted about hating cats. :D
