I finally got around to hearing this. Another impressive powerful first single I must say and is already doing very very well a couple of weeks before the adds date. I'm definitely stoked for the new album.

I think we did notice that Feel Good Drag was wrong. You even quoted it! But like I said, point was proven. You can't make up stuff and have it go unattended.

I like how you keep ignoring me when I say that the song was called "The Feel Good Drag" on their first album.

Because nobody is arguing that fact, and it's meaningless. I'd bet anything you want you have never heard The Feel Good Drag getting played on radio. Two different recordings. Not related other than the newer one is a cover on the older one.

I mean, my point is obviously the topic was created before New Surrender was out, and so obviously the title everyone recognized the song by at that point was still "The Feel Good Drag". It's also pretty obvious the only reason the "The" was dropped is probably because everyone who talks about the song just more or less says "Feel Good Drag" or "FGD" because we live in a society of laziness where we can't be bothered to type out an extra word. So when they redid it for New Surrender they just slapped it on as "Feel Good Drag". But there are still lots of people already used to having the "The" at the front because that's how it was on the first album and so that's been the title for like over three years. It's still the title.
Anyway, you're one to talk about accuracy, coming from a man who argued tooth and nail that it was alright to misspell the words "wuss" and "amateur".

Ha! Cover of the original by the same band. That's a new one. I've never heard that before.

The undeniable proof is that the single that hit big was published as Feel Good Drag on the album and single. All of the complaining in the world will not change that. Move on, you'll never win this one. Go listen to the older album if you want The Feel Good Drag. But it is not the same song.
No clue about wuss, but amateur has two accepted English spellings. Already proven.
Back to the song people. Focus on what you DO know.

Uh, no, it was never proven. Unless by proven you mean you stamped around and swore up and down it was true while we all cited sources that showed it wasn't. Whatever, f**k it. You know, I have you figured out, Artie. You're just here to get your rocks off. All of this is a game. Well fine, if this is the rule you're setting, I'm gonna be watching you like a hawk, buddy.

Not related other than the newer one is a cover on the older one. Seriously, Artie? Nobody covers their own song. Otherwise every time Adam Duritz sang Mr. Jones live, people would call it a cover. When bands play acoustic versions of the song, that's not called a cover. |

What was it? "The Payola" ("The Climb"), "The Song Blows," and "Battleflop"?
Probably more though.

Sorry... Decode is just such a terrible song compared to the Paramore library...it makes me upset it got released as a single.
And, this thread is named "Artie Ziff"... so I ain't taking no crap for titling a song wrong.

I actually sort of agree with you, Decode is Paramore's weakest single, and yes because of the thread title I think anyone should be allowed to call anything whatever they want.
But to be fair to both sides, Decode isnt bad enough to be called DeCrap, and it was still a big hit
