What Song Are You Tired of Hearing?
June 29th 2007 04:30
Okay folks today I heard "Wings Beneath My Wings" in the elevator on my way to a collaborative law meeting. I know that this song is usually relegated to weddings, funerals, graduations, scout functions, and old folks homes. I was surprised how irritated I was at hearing it. The song is such a downer and so incredibly snarky. My teeth were decaying just listening to it. I will have to say this song is best sung totally trashed during karaoke night at your local bar.
I relayed my distaste of this tune to my friend Big Janet. She agreed that it was indeed a musical scourge but suddenly she was struck with an idea. As a meeting icebreaker, she asked everyone what their "Gun to their head if I listen to that song again" was. (Kind of harsh... but she is an attorney)
Here are the results of Big Janet's informal poll:
Eye of the Tiger by Survivor
I Don't Want to Miss a Thing by Aerosmith
My Heart will Go On by Celine Dion
I Will Always Love You by Whitney Houston
Rock n Roll Part Two by Gary Glitter
You're Still the One by Shania Twain
The Macarena
Your Body is a Wonderland by John Mayer
Sk8er Boi by Avril Lavigne
Higher by Creed
Golddigger by Kayne West
Any Michael Bolton song
Do any of you have songs that you just can't hear one more time?
Thanks Shane at College Humor for the pic

I'm sick of hearing Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol. They play it over and over and over again. I used to love this song but I just can't stand it anymore. Alright, admittedly, it's probably because I sing everytime I hear it on the radio. So maybe it's really me singing the song that I can't bear to hear over and over and over again.
And hey, what's wrong with Eye of the Tiger??? I LOVE that song. That's something I can play over all the time. It's so rousing, it gets me off to a good mood. Or maybe I'm just a dag...*sigh*

Nutbush City Limits (or any song that Bogans / Rednecks invent a ridiculous dance to go with it as a way of 'connecting and sharing and caring with fellow idiots?')
Anything from the Rocky Horror Picture Show, the Blues Brothers or Grease).

I can't think of one song I don't like. Oh, dear, I'll have to do some research.
Funny thing about lawyers, remind me to tell you about them some time, from bottom of the pile, to top of the rank. There's some of those I don't like and some University people too.
I guess there would be some songs but they are the ones I won't listen to in the first place. Bad language and all that.

Me too!

I am not sure why my attorney friend did not like it. It makes me smile when I hear it (in the cheesy way...but smile all the same)

Nutbush City Limits is a Tina Turner song.
In Australian Discos (70s/80s) they used to do a dance to it that was a pacy disco-type version of line-dancing.
The ARL (Australian Rugby League) used her song 'Simply the Best' to promote the sport one year. That was a great advertising campaign but NCL was atrocious. One of those songs you never forget but wish you could.
There was an Aussie Rules Football song which topped the charts in the 70s called 'Up There Cazaly' by Mike Brady. That was one of the few songs us blokes were prepared to dance to. It involved running at somone on the dance floor leaping up onto their shoulders and tacking a speccie (spectacular mark) but of a beer can, not a football. When we weren't preoccupied using the pig's head (from the pig on the spit) as a football.

Actually, I can't stand a lot of pop music. I should be listening to Beethoven, or at least Verdi's Rigoletto. But, I tend to get sucked into the pop trip when I'm in my car. (Guess it's better than crashing...)

I agree with you. I get so tired of them. I wonder if they get tired of playing these songs during live concerts!

We do have that same crappy station. It is owned by a huge corporation. I would not be surprised if they were owned by the same company.

For one that song "It's not over...." "This love is killing me, but you're the only one". I know the angst and Three Doors Down ripoff thing is pretty intense, but enough is enough. I tend to get sucked into the pop trip when I'm in my car. (Guess it's better than crashing...)
HAHAHAHA some times pop tripping is difficut. Howard thanks so much for visiting, reading, and commenting. I will check your place out!

Oh I thought of one, Wind Beneath My Wings...who gives a flying stuff what's under Sweaty Midler's armpits or wings, it all the same, they're all orifices that don't get much of an airing and I wouldn't want to be anywhere near them.

"Candyman" by Christina Aguilera (I don't want to know how she lost her virginity)
Any Justin Timberlake song and if I hear another Coldplay song I think I will just about throw the radio out the window
