SUPEREGO
Michael Garcia - April 7, 2016
The 70's was the golden era of schlocky, maudlin soft rock. It's the kind of music that is totally unobtrusive. It's like a rice cake. It's technically food and it will keep you alive, but it tastes like styrofoam. One of the most irritatingly easy listening of these songs was Rupert Holmes' 1979 Escape (The Pina Colada Song). It tells the tales of a dude who wants to cheat on his wife so he places an ad in the paper. That was the Tinder of its day. Then, (spoiler alert), the lady he meets is his wife. Wah wah. This death metal version of the song makes it a little easier to take. A little, but not much.
I think the entire easy listening canon should get the death metal treatment. Imagine The Carpenters death metal version?
