I just wanted to say thanks to anyone who may have donated. Again you have no idea how much it means. Not gonna spam this message all day today, don’t worry, but thank you to those that did… Thank you so so much. And to anyone who upvoted or commented or gave well wishes. It means the entire world to me right now.
That fucking oh no song
I absolutely loathe No Scrubs by TLC.

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.
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.
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.
Thunder by Imagine Dragons
Fuck. That. Song.
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’m an albatraoz
The music is slop, but the words are just aggravating and seem to have had little though put into them.
I hate All I Want For Christmas Is You and Last Christmas specifically
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.
I also heard this song as a Cohen song.
As a interesting aside, he performed at the Isle of Wight festival. Before he performed, there started a riot on the Isle of Wight. Well, the beginnings of a riot but the producers of the production decided they needed to get Cohen on stage. So, at 1-2am in the morning, they bang on Cohen’s trailer saying, “Mr Cohen, we need you out here!” Blah blah blah…
They are doing this and the crowd is going bananas. Burning the stage, lighting shit on fire in the audience, you know, the general shit you might do in an inattentive security force (I can’t speak to that). So, the crowd was kinda out of control.
So, Cohen comes out and he’s got slippers on, his PJs, he’s dressed for bed. And he gets on stage and looks out at everyone and he says, “Does everyone here have a match?”
And everyone is astounded at this statement because of course, everyone has a match?!?
Cohen says, “Can everyone who has a match, light it?”
Everyone lights their match.
“Take a look around, all those matches are people.”
Then he started to play his first song, no idea which one. The crowd calmed down and took care of people the rest of the weekend. They didn’t light the stage of fire again, they didn’t burn any cars. It was a very peaceful concert, because of Leonard Cohen.
I love this story about Cohen so much because he could be a performer and a calmer.
Everything after has been a crappy cover.
Even Eliott Smith’s version?
Not familiar with it, but probably.
all i want for christmas is youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu uuu-uuuuuu
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.
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.
Baby shark
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.
That fucking Dance Monkey shit can fuck all the way off.
