I Saw U2 Live Twice's definitions
it's the name that two young women took for themselves when they decided to form a singing duo. This was in New York City during the mid to late 70s, when the punk/New Waverevolution was erupting and coming into its own. Probably because their name, they never went very far.
I was paging thru a documentary book about Blondie (that New Wave band featuring Debbie Harry) that my girlfriend loaned to me and I saw a picture of a party going on at the legendary CBGB club. Amongst the crowd inside were the members of the duo Sic Fux. There were more pictures of the duo throughout the book.

Get the sic fuxmug. Pat DiNizio, singer/rhythm guitarist/songwriter of the cool New Jersey garage rock/alternative rock band Smithereens says that this phrase, which is the title of a hit from their 1991 album "Blow Up", means basically "Hey man, c'est la vie". This is in the CD liner notes of the album "Blown to Smithereens, Best of the Smithereens".

Get the Top of the Popsmug. quite simply, this is a term used to describe former Roxy Music frontman Bryan Ferry. His vocal crooning styles, his habit of wearing stylish clothes when he plays the piano, synthesizer, and occasionally guitar, his stylish, suave, sophisticated and elegant image that he shows in pictures, performance and video and the fact that Roxy Music inspired punk rock and New Wave leads to this designation. Today he pursues his solo career, sometimes covering artists that inspire him - like Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan, Marvin Gaye and yes, Frank Sinatra. His sound is now generally the New Romantic and Eurodisco styles that Roxy Music laid the foundation for.
I heard Roxy Music on the radio and saw some of their videos (as well as Bryan Ferry solo)on MTV in the Eighties. In 1990 I had a buyer's card filled up with purchase punches which meant I could get a free album. The girl at the checkout said that the album I got (a Roxy best-of) was really good, and she said that Bryan Ferry is a "punk Sinatra". Man was she right! I've been a fan ever since.

Get the punk Sinatramug. 1. in the military it's a slang word for fuzzies that collect in a room. AKA "dust bunnies" , "ghost turds", "frizzlins" and other names.
2. a popular movie that played in cinemas during the summer of 1984. A 1989 sequel didn't do so hot. Also there's a video game based on that movie.
3. the theme song for that movie, a number one hit for Ray Parker, Jr..

Get the Ghostbustersmug. an intelligent progressive heavy metal band from Seattle. They released their first album in 1983 and has always stood out from other heavy metal bands in the 80s and beyond. They released the concept album "Operation Mindcrime" in 1988, earning the respect of fans and critics alike. Singer/keyboardist Geoff Tate has a stunning voice often described as "operatic". All of their albums range from good to great. Check out "Mindcrime", "Empire", "Tribe" and "The Art of Live".
I saw Queensryche at a club near a university 2 years ago and they are dynamic performers. Queensryche, who are inspired by Pink Floyd and Rush and other bands, are often referred to as the "thinking man's heavy metal band". Check them out live.

Get the Queensrychemug. a phrase used by Kevin DuBrow of the band Quiet Riot during a show in Columbus, Ohio in 2000 to refer with a sneer to the previous decade. He apparently had hope for the 21st century. Unfortunately, that hope so far has been dashed.
The TV, the clothing styles, the hairstyles, the movies, the music, the politics, the economy, all the major trends of today suck out the ass. The decline of cool started during the fucking PC 90s.

Get the fucking PC 90smug. 1. a dance that resembles a samba but where everyone places their hands on the person in front and the whole group line "chugs" along to resemble a train - hence "locomotion".
2. a popular song that goes with the dance, in the same way that "Limbo Rock", "Stroll", "Do the Conga", "Velcro Fly", "Egyptian Walk" (Bangles), the dumbshitMacarena and more. This song has been covered and has charted many many times. It became a #1 by Little Eva n 1962. Macho Michigan rockers Grand Funk (Railroad) took their hard rock version to the top in 1974. Australian singer/actress/model Kylie Minogue had a huge hit with her perky synth/dance version in 1987-1988.

1. Everybody's doing a brand new thing now. Come on baby, do the Locomotion...
2. there was a benefit dance at the Eastern Orthodox church downtown and one of dances performed was the Locomotion.
3. I've heard several versions of the Locomotion. I barely remember when Grand Funk Railroad had their tough version with the "rattling on the trash cans" drum effect (real cool) but I'm more familiar with Kylie Minogue's electropop cover because it brings up happy memories of a joyful time, it was used on numerous TV shows like "The Cosby Show" and besides, Kylie Minogue - she's CUTE.
