That fucking oh no song
I cannot stand Hallelujah.
Everybody uses it as an emotional song for their emotional wedding slideshow, literally why???
If you look up the meaning, you'll see the song isn't really praising the Lord or whatever these people want, it's like they just heard "Hallelujah" and ignored everything else.
So now you have the bride and groom's smiling pictures scrolling by while the dude is rambling about "She tied you to a kitchen chair, She broke your throne and she cut your hair", WTF??? How come no one ever found this awkward???
Yeah I get it, Samson and Delilah, not really a good match for a wedding!
And it's overused to shit. Whatever deep meaning this song has, I cannot stand to hear it for the umpteenth time.
Especially not the music composing ramble of the opening verse.
Shut the fuck up about the the minor fall and the major lift.
Please use literally anything else for your photo montage I beg you.
Conversely, I absolutely LOVE that song.. However, I was introduced to it from the Leonard Cohen album it was originally released on. Everything after has been a crappy cover.
Cohen gives it the gravity it deserves, and you truly understand that it's not a religious song.
At least, not religious in the way the masses see it as. It's more the religion you find in a really great orgasm.
There's a Leonard Cohen documentary where he talks about it taking decades to write, verses that were added and lost, more explicit verses.... Leonard Cohen was amazing.
The fact that this was posted 7 hours ago and nobody has said "All I want for Christmas is you" by Mariah Carey warrants an entire episode of Unexplained Mysteries imo.
For me, it's "Jessie's Girl". The things we learn about this girl are: She has eyes, she has a body, at some times she talks cute with Jessie, she loves Jessie. Then the question, "Where can I find a woman like that?"
The contrast between the exceedingly generic description, and the exasperation (as if no other girl would suffice) annoys me every time I hear the lyrics. This is then multiplied by the fact that the song is catchy.
Thunder by Imagine Dragons
Fuck. That. Song.
fuck their whole discography bro
My Humps by the Black Eyes Peas.
It's one thing for a song to be bad, and this one was, but there was a period of what felt like months when I had to hear this at least twice a day because it would always be on the radio when I was on the coach to and from college.
Awful, awful, song.
I don't know what it's actually called, but I call it "The Mexican Beeping Song". It was on the playlist at a Mexican restaurant once, and I offered the server $50 he could turn it down/ off /change the station / anything to make it stop. He looked at me with a pained expression and just said "I would do it for free if I could, I hate this too".
El Sonidito.
Ironically I love it, but I only developed my love for it by finding it through the music video and laughing my absolute tits off at the keyboard player.
That shitty version of I'm Blue that has the laziest lyrics ever written with a singer that has an obnoxious nasally voice. "I'm good, yeah I'm feeling alright, this is gonna be the best freaking night of my life" sounds like the first lyrics she came up with when she woke up that morning. That nasally "na na na na na" at the end also grinds my gears. So glad that song isn't being played on the radio anymore, I'd much rather listen to the original I'm Blue Da Ba Dee for an hour straight than listen to this version even once.
I fucking hate this trend of people trying to bring back classic 90s/00s eurodance stuff for Gen Z and butchering it. Leave my childhood alone!
Fun fact! I was literally tortured (yes, actually for real) by Collective Soul so anytime I hear one of their two "hit" songs I get flung into PTSD flashbacks. I have to cover my ears and basically sink to the floor or immediately leave the area if that's possible.
Suffice to say I hate them.
Also I was a retail slave for over a decade and hate all Christmas music. Super mega hate.
Edit: abused by the music, not the band. Sorry I didn't mean to be misleading.
Is there any way you can explain this a little more clearly because this is a shocking statement.
I'd rather not trauma dump about it. I forget and accidentally over-share sometimes, my bad. What I'm comfortable sharing is it was basically sleep deprivation through very very loud, repetitive music over a prolonged period of time. I'm mostly fine now, it was a long time ago.
Okay, at first I read it as the artist in collective soul like literally abducted and tortured you or something. I appreciate the clarification and I'm glad to hear that you're doing better now.
Radioactive.
It had a novel, ear-grabbing sound at the time, but got overplayed to the point where it now just grates on my nerves.
Also: most American wedding reception traditions like The Electric Slide and The Chicken Dance. Do better. I once went to a reception where everyone did The Time Warp and it was amazing.
Yeah you can forget about the wedding reception music, that'll never change. Each country has their own list of shitty wedding songs and it'll always be the same
I hate All I Want For Christmas Is You and Last Christmas specifically
“Happy Birthday” sung by a defeated waitstaff for the 10th time on their shift.
that maria carey song.
if you don't know which one I'm talking about... we got about a month and half before you'll be reminded literally everywhere yooooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuouououououuouoouououououououououoououououoOOOOOOOuuuUUUUUUooooUoUOUOUOUOOUUOUUOUOUOUOUO go.
I absolutely loathe No Scrubs by TLC.
spoiler
The lyrics are trashy and only convey judgement. Taken from the song: if you don't own your own car, own home, or don't dress like a prince, you're not worth it. The whole song is shitty IMHO (except for the beat/sound). The one line about not treating your partner right is sensible but the rest of the song doesn't match with any of that vibe. They're just conveying judgement. I already know I'm a loser in most people's eyes but hearing this song on the radio just miffs me.
I don't really care for the song myself, but I think you are not taking into account the world that was released into.
Women weren't a dominant force in hip hop, or pop, at that time, most of the mainstream popular stuff was bragging and violence. I think this song was an attempt to fit into that genre, while at the same time take a shot at the gigolo life style that was frequently on display in so much media of the time. A stub wasn't someone who didn't have anything, they were someone who never even tried to be someone. They were the type that tried to impress you with the car they were in... a car that wasn't even theirs...
all i want for christmas is youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu uuu-uuuuuu
Whatever the title of "This girl is on fire" is.
Pretty sure it's supposed to be empowering or something but all I hear is ThIs guRl iZ oN FiiIiiRrrrrrRrreee!!!! two hundred times in a row.
Like okay she's on fire. Got it. Get damn fire extinguisher or something and SHUT UP.
Honorary shout out to the 80℅ of songs on the radio thst are about relationships. You know there's more topics that exist? Does it ALWAYS have to be about relationships?
And Christmas songs on eternal repeat starting before Halloween. Thanks, radio. I hate Christmas songs now. Not because they suck, but because you suck gor playing them over and over FOR HALF THE YEAR.
Reggaeton. It's all the same song! They have played us for absolute fools
Wonderful Christmastime by Paul McCartney. He is one of the greatest songwriters of the modern age, and my hot take is that only someone as good as him could write a song so bad.
But it should be a war crime.
🎶 Last Christmas, you gave me your heart, and the very next day you took it away 🎶
In just 60 short days it's going to be on loop at every public space.
I'm an albatraoz
The music is slop, but the words are just aggravating and seem to have had little though put into them.
Happy by Pharrell. Nearly drove a nail through both my eardrums back in 2014. People still eat their shit over this dumbass song.
