Torture your fellow Dopers ....

[Milossarian]

... with songs they've tried most of their lives to forget!

(Some of the posts in the temporarily hijacked "The Night Chicago Died" thread gave me this idea.)

So, without further ado ....

Him, him, him
What's she going to do about him?
She's going to have to do without him
Or do without
Me, Me, Me
No one gets to get it for free
It's time for me to make the girl see
It's me or it's him


(Sorry.)

"a little bit of monica in my life
a little bit of Erica by my side
a little bit of Rita is all I need..."

I could kill that man with my bare hands, and then I would quickly follow with my own death since I at one point (after hearing the song 3 or 4 times) liked the stupid song.

[Angkins]

This is the song that does not end
it just goes on and on my friend
some people started singing it not knowing what it was
and they'll continue singing it forever just because
This is the song that does not end.......

"The lion sleeps tonight...weema-wappa weema, wappa-weema...the lion sleeeps tooonight...WEEMA-WAPPA WEEMA"

"And we'll have fun, fun, fun 'til her daddy takes the T-bird awaaaay..." (shoot the girl, the daddy and the car, in that order.)

And the most grating, godawful, fingernails down a chalkboard non-musical anthem:
"If you're sooo haaapy, then why you looook so saaad.." Manages to make throat-straining excess boring.

My secret weapon to get a much-hated ditty out of my head is to play my old ELO "Eldorado" LP & listen to "I Can't You Out of My Head". Works a treat.

Now if I just had a trick for getting rid of it...

You are aware that I must kill you now, Angkins?

[Catrandom]

This is just for OldBroad:

Honey, I miss you,
But I'm doing good,
I'd love to be with you,
If only I could.

Howsabout...

Whoa-oa-oa-oa-oa! The right stuff!

Oh my god. I was searching for the lyrics for this song so I could make you all hate me even more when I found this!

God save us all...

NickyLarson and Catrandom: Someone else is typing this for me, because my eyes burst right out of my head when I read the lyrics you two posted. There is a special circle in Hell waiting for you. They have speakers. They only play three songs--Honey, Seasons in the Sun, and this delightful ditty....

"Someone left a cake out
In the rain
I don't think that I can take it
Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe

Ouch, Girlby, that was truly a low blow.

Am I the only one that likes "Doo Wah Diddy" and "Under the Boardwalk"?

OK, back on track ...

I was going to put a Michael Bolton song down, but that would be just because his contrived emotional wailing is abrasive. That doesn't really fit the category.

The songs should have a sickeningly catchy quality about them that can cause fits of homicidal rage ...


Shake your love
I just can't shake your love

This is fun actually.

"Ooh I've been to Georgia and California
And anywhere I could run
I took the hand of a preacher man
And we made love in the sun
But I ran out of places and friendly faces
Because I had to be free
I've been to paradise
But I've never been to me"

Lets get physical, physical, I wanna get physical....

(k, so I don't remember all the lyrics, but you know it)

[neuro-trash grrrl]

You've got me running, going out of my mind
You've got me thinking that I'm wasting my time
Don't bring me down
No no no no no. A-woo hoo!
I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down

Don't bring me down. BRUCE!
Don't bring me dow-ow-own. BRUCE!
Don't bring me down! BRUCE!
Don't bring me dow-ow-ow-own!

Nope! I like them too. I was very young and just discovering boys when Doo Wah Diddy was playing. It puts a skip back in my step when I hear it.

Here's one I have always hated.

Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance
forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose!
Those were the days.. oh yes
those were the days.


Can't remember the lyrics to "Afternoon Delight" ... but you know what I mean?

I once had the chorus of Lionel Richie's "All Night Long" running through my head for days. I wanted to sue him for invasion of privacy.

But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turning red.
Crying's not for me

Because i'm free-ee-eee.

So I just did me some talking to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done
Sleeping on the job..."

Anything by "Raffi."

We were driving through the Mojave desert once and our kids were listening to a Raffi tape for the millionth time. My husband calmly pushed eject, took out the tape, rolled down the window and hurled it out into the desert.

The crying sounded good compared to "Joshua Giraffe."

My grandmother bought me a cute little toy:
