August 2, 2008 - Remember those great songs of the eighties, when music attempted an 180° turn from the touchy feely music of the 60's and the 70's? There was the Police:
And Trio really racked their brain when they came up with these inspired lyrics:
Dada is an informal international movement that wanted to destroy the traditional culture and aesthetics because they believed that it was this clinging to ideals that brought about war. Dadaists describe Dada as "a phenomenon bursting forth in the midst of the postwar economic moral crises, a savior, a monster, which would lay waste to everything in its path". Needless to say, it hasn't caught on with art historians, artists, or for that matter, the masses. In keeping with what seems the non-sense of Dada, today is Dadaism Month.
How is a day a month? Good question. The Dadaism month was selected by randomly picking days and months from the proverbial hat. Dadaism Month will continue on on other days throughout the year. On those days... we shall hum and sing all the da da da songs we can think of.
If da da da doesn't work for you, today is also National Ice Cream Sandwich Day, and also Tennis Ball Day. I can't explain the tennis balls, but maybe a tennis game and an ice cream sandwich makes a ton more sense to me. Game, set, sandwich!
"De do do do, De da da da"
And Trio really racked their brain when they came up with these inspired lyrics:
"Da da da,The lyrics are, to be fair... simple. None of that bourgeois capitalist writing needed. Just a good beat, and a few syllables here and there and we'll call it music. Like the Dadaists before, anti-art was where it was at.
What you will and what you won't, aha aha aha,
Da da da"
