‘I’ve always had a soft spot for Lady Gaga’: John Lydon’s honest playlist
The Sex Pistols and Public Image Ltd frontman prefers drinking to karaoke and loves the Kinks, but which out-there rock song changed his life?
The song I secretly like but tell everybody I hate Die With a Smile by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars may be written for mass consumption, and even though I’m not corporate-minded myself, that doesn’t mean that I dislike corporate philosophies. The best song to play at a party[Sings] “Show me the way to go Home / I’m tired and wanna go to bed / You’re only half a football team / Turn the boys in white and red.” But it hit me when the Captain starts singing:“Gimme dat ole time religion.” I got the humour, but I also got the cleverness: that music shouldn’t be viewed in such strict stanzas, verses and choruses.
