"Lazy billy" ??? Give it a spell. More like: "lazy nom"

It's not even that good. Teen rebellion. Yeah, great. Get over it.

I reckon people just cling onto a memory of being good and don't even listen to it with their ears open.
I absolutely guarantee that 3+ of those billies were people who saw the bitching in the thread and billied it as a result.

FWIW I don’t disagree that it is a lazy nom.

Who cares?

Billies are the most overrated part of Song Contest

Who cares if 4 or 5 people out of 25 don't like your nom? F**k 'em.

"Killing In The Name Of" deserved it being billied because it's cliched overplayed adolescent crap which has won twice before and Agent93 should've known better than to try that on

Its not

My choice was between that and Beastie boys. Yes previous winner didnt help. It just meant I didnt consider it for votes, same as Talking Heads. But RATM and the song is terrible to my ears

This is a completely different argument.

You are completely underselling the cultural impact of the song.

Pfft, it's a Christmas hero. And try what on? I nommed the first song that popped into my head like I normally do, I actually had no idea it had been nommed (and won) multiple times because I don't scour the spreadsheet.
