On the Phil Collins tip, we admit to laughing pretty hard at this even though we didn’t really want to. FunnyOrDie, you guys are funny bastards.
In honor of the man, the myth, the legend, Phil Collins announcing his retirement, we’re going to post our favorite karaoke song, “Against All Odds.” By the end of this song, we’re on the floor. Crying. In a puddle. Our karaoke style is very emotive. Anyway, Mr. Collins has said in the past that his health problems were getting to him, and told Rolling Stone a few months back that he considered suicide (yikes!). So maybe retirement is for the best. Fun fact: Phil’s “In the Air Tonight” basically introduced that very airy “gated” drum sound you heard in every mainstream pop song in the ’80s. Including this one. (thanks flavorpill)
I sometimes think I’m going to write this Phil Collins character out of the story. Phil Collins will just disappear or be murdered in some hotel bedroom, and people will say, ‘What happened to Phil?’ And the answer will be, ‘He got murdered, but, yeah, anyway, let’s carry on.’ That kind of thing.Phil “our personal hero” Collins • Expressing suicidal thoughts in this month’s issue of Rolling Stone, out Friday. Dude, we love you. Your songs are our songs. You can’t do that to us! Sometimes we claim to love your songs ironically, but we know the truth. You’re our hero. Back in 1992, we unironically thought you were a God with an in-vis-a-ble touch-yah. And, against all odds, nothing will change that. Not even an entire album of overly-sappy songs for Disney like “You’ll Be In My Heart.” source (via • follow)
