When U.K. skateboarders Matt Pritchard and Lee Dainton meet their maker, they will urinate on him, throw up on him and then beat him with a high-top sneaker. Their gang of European degenerates are amazing skateboarders, but their joyfully vile antics overshadow the rail slides and ollies: In one memorable scene, a skater craps in his hands, smiles and grinds the excrement into his face. Pritchard vs. Dainton makes Jackass look like Elmo's World.

    “Youth Knows No Pain”

    Lykke Li | 2011

    “Like on 'Youth Knows No Pain' — we are the ones that should demonstrate, because we can take it,” Likke Li said. “We can pierce ourselves, take Ecstasy, dance all night and still go to work at our McDonald's jobs.” Despite the hedonistic sentiment in the song, the Swedish singer also admitted in hindsight her youth had repercussions. “I remember when I was 18-19 and feeling that I know it all,” Li said. “I always feel that I know it all. But that song is about realizing you don’t, and reflecting, ‘Boy, if I only knew what would follow.’”
