I don‘t think that she ever gets mistaken for Naomi Watts.
Those of us who stay up way too late are often blessed with infomercials on tv. Some of them are actually good. I mean the music ones. They are called “sounds of the 70s” or “80s metal.” Basically they plug a collection of has been musicians and try to sell you a cd.
That is great but they always show you a clip of the band, and then you find out what they look like.
It can be underwhelming.
Back then singers did not need to look like Jessica Simpson to get famous. I suspect that is because the music video craze had not taken hold. The sound was a bit more important than their image. So when you see them, their appearance is never as good as their singing, especially with those ridiculous 70s haircuts.
A lot of the Joes and Janes appeared to be in there 30s or even older. They might be using a video from well after they became famous. But I am sure that most of them would never be allowed on tv nowadays.
The problem with seeing them on tv is that you find out they look nothing like you imagined. (not Naomi Watts) Frankly I prefer my imagination.

You know what the revelation reminded me of? Metallica lyrics.
In my youth, 1996, I used to buy Metallica albums. I never had a clue what they were screaming into the din of their guitars. So I could sing my own lyrics. And what I thought of was always better than the moaning and bitching of Lars Ulrich
The few times I glanced at their lyrics sheet left me depressed. How could they screw up there own songs? Were they angry at everything? “Planetarium” and “Master of Muppets” were clearly the better choices for rock signs.
This is for another blog, but the reason rap singers get in trouble is because you actually can understand them. If they would just scream like Kid Rock or Corn did, they wouldn’t get in trouble every 3 years because no one would understand them.

As for the singer of “How do You Like It?” who is not Naomi Watts, I did not see her name. Let’s hope she stays on the radio, anonymously.

I also hate rap.
But there is a place for metallica type bands... like after you have broken up with someone, or had a fight with your paramour, or (in your case), lost a shit load of money playing poker into all hours of the night.
then the anger is very theraputic.
and quite frankly the light at the end of the tunnel really is just a freight train comming your way.
But you are right, after you have taken a vicious beat at the poker table then channeling negative energy with Metallica makes me feel much closer to Hell.
Do you sing to your kid:
"Hush little baby, don't say a word / and never mind that noise you heard / It's just beast under your bed / in your coffee, in YOUR HEAD.
??
but here is a lullaby I do sing him from Marcy Playground:
a cloaking robe of elvin kind hangs in my wardrobe behind
all the things that mother said
were proper for a girl.
and sixteen books of magick spells,
sits beneath my cloak of elves
sixteen books of magick spells so elegantly bound
and I dont know why why why
on this summers evening,
But I know somethin'
somethin'about you
Of course Marcy Playground is a much mellower band, and after their first successful album they kind of vanished into obscurity. But its still good for baby wranglin' and gets him sleepy every time.
