I’m going to try and write about this without spewing because the mere thought of this tune makes me feel like I’m just about to start a violent chucking session.
This is too bizarre and I’d really like to find an answer or, better yet, a solution to my problem. Honestly, I’m not trying to be funny, this is very real. We all have songs we dislike or feel were written by no talent hacks. I’m talking about something much more sinister.
Whenever I hear U2’s “New Year’s Day” I get nauseous and my throat begins to constrict. It’s come on in the background before where I didn’t hear it clearly but began to feel ill and then realized it was playing. It’s gotton so bad that even other U2 songs that sound barely similar to NYD can make me feel quite sickly.
I know, I know… too wierd. To add to it, I really liked U2 but I pretty much have to change the station now whenever they come on and going to a concert would absolutely be out of the question.
I’m trying to remember if I was ever violently hungover or had the stomach flu or something when this ditty was stuck on repeat but nothing comes to mind.
Anybody else ever had this experience with a song or smell or taste or anything that shouldn’t have triggered such an unpleasant response.
Yes. Once, several years ago, I was at a big concert at Carnaigie (sp) that featured a friend of mine.
Ine of their last “peices” was this bizzarre caterwauling with shrieks and animal sounds and general weirdness. Only seconds into the thing I started having fits and convulsions. I started crying and shaking uncontrollably. It was aweful, and I have no idea what the heck it was.
The movie New Jack City made me puke. I particularly remember Chris Rock’s torso and head being stuck somewhere. It could be that I was sick anyway, but it was a very gory and violent movie. I would never watch it again, of course, so I can’t test the theory that it was the movie that made me puke. I watched it a home, btw, so I didn’t puke at the movies.
Yup. There’s a talk show that comes on every Sunday morning on the public radio here. It’s some guy with some serious issues with women giving advice to callers. My dad loves to make fun of it, so he tunes in all the time. His voice always makes me sick to my stomach, from the very first time I heard him. I’m not sure why, as I can’t think of anything that would trigger the reaction.
Actually, the guy sounds very much like Sideshow Bob from the Simpsons, but I don’t get that sort of reaction from Kelsey Grammer. It’s just this one special talk show host.
Then there was the strange case of Dianne Neale - you know, the woman who went into an epileptic seizure whenever she heard Mary Hart’s voice on “Entertainment Tonight.”
