Lame Sequels: A Playlist
Yeah we sold knives yesterday too, so what? Yesterday’s sale didn’t include a sharpener, at least. What, you gonna call the daily deal police on us? Bad news friend-o: We are the daily deal police and we’re letting ourselves off with a warning.
Day drinkin’* Meh writer @skemmehs here filling in for that lazy-ass @JasonToon while he “moves his family across the globe.” Today I’m bringing you a playlist of lame follow-up songs, in honor of this lame follow-up knife sale. I define a follow-up song as any attempt to cash in on a previous hit by penning a “sequel.” Don’t know what I mean? You will.
O’Connor, Daniels, Cash, Tritt, and Stuart: “The Devil Comes Back To Georgia” (1993)
Over a dozen years after the original hit, this shameless follow-up literally Cashes in by telling the story that nobody was clamoring for.
Metallica: "The Unforgiven II” (1997)
Little known fact: You can actually hear the integrity leave James Hetfield’s voice if you play this directly after the original.
Shel Silverstein: “Father Of A Boy Named Sue” (1978)
Didn’t know Shel Silverstein wrote the original Johnny Cash novelty hit? Didn’t know he also penned a weird, upsetting sequel? Didn’t know he had a terrible voice? Now you do.
Nas: "NY State Of Mind Part II” (1999) NSWF
(Explicit lyrics should be implicit, this being a Nas song.)
Jimmy Dean: “The Cajun Queen” (1962)
The original, “Big John” is a toe-tappin’ country-fried time. The sequel is a weird tribute to necromancy.
Redman: “Sooperman Luva II” (1994) NSFW
Like The Godfather Part II, a rare example of a sequel that surpasses the original in breadth and use of x-ray vision in space.
Royal Guardsmen: “Snoopy vs. Osama” (2006)
Actually the 5th in the RG’s unauthorized Snoopy Series, but definitely the most tone-deaf and consequently the least popular of the batch.
Busta Rhymes ft. P. Diddy and Pharrell “Pass The Courvoisier Pt. 2” (2001)
Another aberration, this time a sequel vastly more popular than [the original] (did you even know there was an original?
Elton John: “Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters Pt II” (1988)
Fitting that the late-80s follow-up would lack all the grace, subtlety, and sobriety of the 70s version.
Ludwig Van Beethoven: “Symphony No. 2” (1802)
So pathetic to see an artist sell out for a quick buck. Sad.
Gary Glitter: “Rock and Roll Part 2” (1972)
OK there is something more pathetic, but let’s not get into that. The original, if you haven’t heard it, follows the same unmistakable cadence. The words “rock and roll” are enunciated more clearly, however.
Chubby Checker: “Let’s Twist Again (1961)
The godfather of shameless sequel songs, Mr. Checker made a living exploiting America’s insatiable desire to twist. And based on this song’s 68 million YouTube views, it seems that desire remains unquenched.
