Detuning that acoustic guitar prior to playing Wonderwall in the beginning was a masterful touch.

I legitimately had a high school teacher who would blast the Friday song. Every Friday. For four years.

The shaggs were apparently forced to be a band because of there dad that's why they sound so weird

This dude is just if thor never went back to Asgard and became the “god” of music theory evilness

The Shaggs are very interesting to me in that they had actually never heard music to any extant. They were basically given cheap instruments by their father and told to go become pop stars. So it's sort of like listening to aliens who had were dropped off on earth, given instruments and learn how to play without absolutely no instruction or exposure to music.

Wise information, Petrucci's evil twin.

This is quality. The content. Glad to find ya

The Shaggs actually have a really interesting backstory. From Wikpedia:

The conceptual beginning of the Shaggs came from Austin Wiggin's mother who, when her son was young, had predicted during a palmreading that he would marry a strawberry blonde woman, that he would have two daughters after she had died, and that his daughters would form a popular music group. The first two predictions proved accurate, so Austin set about making the third come true as well.[8] Austin withdrew his daughters from school, bought them instruments, and arranged for them to receive music and vocal lessons. The Wiggin sisters themselves never planned to become a music group, but as Dot later said, "[Austin] was something of a disciplinarian. He was stubborn and he could be temperamental. He directed. We obeyed. Or did our best."[9] Austin named the Shaggs after the popular shag hairstyle and as a reference to shaggy dogs.[9] In 1968, Austin arranged for the girls to play a regular Saturday night gig at the Fremont, New Hampshire, Town Hall.

That 80/20 thing you said at the end hit me hard. I’ve been down on myself but hearing that made me realize I have to just keep going and stop letting negative feelings stop me from creating. I had never heard that before. Thanks shred

"You just have to sit there and take it for 3 minutes and 47 seconds...".
I just about lost my shit when you said that. Excellent episode!

Rebecca Blacks voice in "Friday" makes me wanna skip ahead to Monday.

Edit: Shredmasterscott liked this comment. I can now ascend to death metal heaven

I love how this video isn't just ripping into bad music but actually tries to improve it.

[SpiderSkot]

I had managed to go the entire 10 years since Friday was released without ever hearing a note of it. Thanks a lot 🤣

[nascarsteve]

I heard about the Shaggs by accident on YouTube at some point last year, I think. Their dad made them play instruments (apparently, not well) and insisted on them getting a record deal, even when the record labels said the girls weren't ready to record. And the result is that monstrosity earworm that ensued.

I fucking lost at the death metal walrus, kudos to you my man!

"If you ever want to learn music, or write music"

Pop Artist: You guys write your own music?

If a guy at the campfire thinks he can impress chicks by putting them asleep with Wonderwall hit them with "Baby One More Time" by Britney Spears; that'll wake them right up and they'll start woo-ing. Then finish the performance by smashing the guitar in the campfire and admits the torrent of glowing cinders you shout: SLAYEEEER!!! Followed by an awkward silence while everyone is staring at you with horrified expression. IF then one of the chicks replies with SLAYEEER!!! then you know she is your true Wonderwall. The mating ritual is completed.

I'll never ever get tired of that video where you burn pop music with firewood
