@achewood Irish Nachos are a charming take on the original, but I wonder what Uighur Nachos would be like. A mutton leg on a crisped pita?

The popular song(s) you hate the most.
« on: October 29, 2009, 04:01:14 am »
You know, the song or songs that are/have been popular enough to get a lot of airplay that you just hate. The sort of song that makes you angry at the world for liking it.

Discuss.

One Week - Barenaked Ladies

The level of loathing that I hold for this song is the standard by which I measure my displeasure regarding all others.

I like black hole sun, but it annoys me.  It's like the singer builds up to it, but then never climaxes.  C'mon man sing the high note, I know you can do it.  That song is like a yawn that never quite materializes.

Choop - yes Black Hole Sun was terrible.  Also - the video for Black Hole Sun was equally terrible.

One that I currently hate more than anything is that damn Taylor Swift song "Love Story."  I hate it so much that my husband and I have deconstructed it for awfulness in order to analyze why it is so bad.

Love Story

We were both young when I first saw you (you are 19, being young is NOT a past-tense thing)
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
I'm standing there
On a balcony in summer air

See the lights
See the party, the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
And say hello, little did I know

That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don't go, and I said

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes

So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while

'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter (Now you're just naming titles of books.  The Scarlet Letter is about a 17th century puritan woman who has a child via an adulterous affair... how does that even related to... oh never mind.)
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please don't go and I said

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes

Romeo save me, they try to tell me how to feel (feminism really is dead, isn't it?)
This love is difficult, but it's real  (oh really, cause you seem to be basing it on some vague understanding of a play you skimmed in grade 9)
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story baby just say yes
Oh oh

I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you is fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town, and I said

Romeo save me I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come (alternate lyrics I made up:  "I've read some books, or at least I know the basic gists")
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think (alternate lyrics:  "It don't matter if I don't know what the context is.")
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring

And said, marry me Juliet
You'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress  (wait, did you even rent the movie version of Romeo and Juliet?)
It's a love story baby just say yes

Oh, oh, oh, oh
'Cause we were both young when I first saw you

I'm a horrible music snob, I don't think that needs to be re-belaboured...

Though it must be noted that all things Gwen Stefani has been attached to, that category holds a special place in my hate.

Establishing her career under the premise "well, if you call my horrible punk-pop horrible, I will hide behind calling you a sexist because I am a PUNK and I am part of a REAL GROUP OF MUSICIANS" and then, the moment she is famous, quitting rock and her band and suddenly putting out profoundly-awful dance tracks dolled up like the copy of a copy of a copy of Madonna... this earns you a special ring in hell.

all that downer post-grunge/white-trash-wanna-be-metal/radio rock.  disturbed, dickelcrack, breaking benjamin, saliva, etc... rednecks seem especially drawn to that shit.

"yes, im sorry that you  hate jocks and you hate corporations and you hate religion and you hate society and you hate your parents.  put down that bottle of jaeger, use this tissue to wipe the eyeliner off your face, and come out into the sunshine for a li'l bit.

As a pre-Maroon BNL fan I like this song. I have a soft spot for songs where they sneak in a lyric change (it'll still be one week till I say "wasabi")

This isn't exactly in the spirit of the topic, but Rent. Every song. I fuck*ng hate Rent so much.

My #1 most-despised pop song is...

(drum roll please)....

Don't Go Chasin' Waterfalls.

Why?

Waterfalls don't move, you dolt! You don't have to chase them! They're stationary objects!

Gah.

I also like One Week, not their best song but fun.

Most hated song I was just reminded of: My humps, my humps my humps etc. ad nauseum.
Apart from it being a horribly ear raping tuneless piece of noise 'my hump' is the least alluring description for female anatomy basically ever.
