We could request it all we want, we still wouldn't listen to the radio all day to catch it. The amount of listeners that would tune out when that song came on would be enough for stations to pull it after like 2 days, guaranteed.

I mean, a playlist of Bad Romance, Tik Tok, NY State of Mind, Seven, some Taylor Swift song, some dumb BEP song. One of those CLEARLY stands out as something the everyone else listening to the radio would be like "wtf, see ya later."

    What does that have to do with what I said? I attribute all of Funny's first week success to DMB fans requesting it on the radio, because they think they're helping spread some bullshit DMB REVOLUTIONz! by having the song on the fuckin' radio.

    I don't think THAT many people would tune out. After a couple weeks though, probably.

    I love how all the non-radio listeners are experts on what would play well on radio. You know what plays well on radio? You and Me. That's a radio marketable single. I think FTWIS was a good single, but Why I Am, not so much (lyrical head scratcher). I think Squirm and Seven are great songs, but would such on the radio to a general audience. I think SMLAM would be a huge hit because of the musical dynamic that is infectious.

    And yet, it's done shitty on mainstream radio!

    I thought you said DMB fans would request the hell out of Seven if it was the lead single. Then I asked how many DMB fans listen to shitty radio though? Meaning it would not be requested enough to do anything really.

    Nah, I'm just talking about that first couple weeks where crazy DMB fans think that having a song by a band that most people hate on the radio over and over again will get them to go to a live show, smoke bad pot, and become a DMB fan forever.
