That fucking oh no song

[–] prime_number_314159@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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.

This is pretty much exactly what Bo Burnham said in one of his interviews, not about this specific song but just in general about those "love songs" which are like that.

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 absolutely loathe No Scrubs by TLC.

spoilerThe 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...

Anything that starts off with "We the best music!"

And anytime a DJ or song has that "bwar bwAR Bwar bWar" sound effect. An immediate nope.

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.

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
