We paved over paradise and put up a parking lot, all so two tons of empty metal could sit undisturbed for 23 hours a day.

    The Counting Crows version is a cover.

    The original was sung by Joni Mitchell.

      True but I agree with the OP. I also hate counting crows.

        At least they gave between the buried and me their name.

        I won’t deny that they suck, but that’s not the song’s fault.

          Why do they suck?

            They don’t. Mrs. Potter’s Lullaby and Mr. Jones are bangers, and their cover of Friend of the Devil is marvellous.

              Love me some Mrs. Potter’s Lullaby. It’s my 3rd favorite after Sullivan Street and Amy Hit the Atmosphere.

            Taste is subjective.

            Also wow. Found the entire Counting Crows fanbase.

            Mostly because I still have ears. Without those, they’d be ok I guess.

              That doesn’t answer my question

          I didn’t say it was.

          Big Yellow Taxi is one of the greatest of all time, as other many other Joni Mitchell Songs.

A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
