I remember when Nacho posted this thread it was awesome, now I want to post it so it can be awesome again :)

Just post two songs that are the exact opposites of each other. It can be in terms of style (taken seriously) or you can just have fun with the song titles/subjects. Observe:

Wire- Mr. Suit
Dream Theater- A Change of Seasons

^^^opposites by style!

Pavement- Here
Hillary Duff- Anywhere But Here

^^^opposites by song titles!

CCR- Fortunate Son
Eric Clapton- Tears In Heaven

^^^opposites by subject (Eric's Clapton's son was not fortunate :()

and here are some others from last time that I liked:

The Flaming Lips- Brainville
KISS- Detroit Rock City

The Replacements- We're Comin Out
At The Drive-In- Quarantined

post!

CCR- Fortunate Son
Eric Clapton- Tears In Heaven

this made me think of how funny it would be if Fall Out Boy covered "Tears in Heaven".

ANYWAY:

The Replacements - "We're Comin' Out"
R. Kelly - "Trapped in the Closet"
