That overplayed Nationwide commercial with the giant babies has made me want to hit mute whenever Mickey & Sylvia’s “Love Is Strange” starts up. ---

“It’s Raining Men”. Gah. “I Will Survive”. Double-gah. Why these songs became some sort of anthems at weddings escapes me, but I have to leave the room when they come on. ---

> [@Soylent\_Juicy](#): > > That god-awful Christmas song about the mouse that befriends a cat and the cat dies while keeping the mouse warm then gets taken to heaven by Santa. What in the actual hell is that. That’s a joke, right? There’s no F’in way that’s actually a thing. \ AAAAAAAAGH! IT IS A THING! WITH ITS OWN WEBSITE! **THE GLURGE! IT BUUUUURRRNS!** I’ve never heard it and I already hate it with the burning hatred like the heat of a million suns. ---

Also, any show about Italians just has to include that awful song “When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, That’s Amore…” ---

Or the Cake version of “I Will Survive.” Wait-- people do “I Will Survive” at _weddings_? ---

> [@RivkahChaya](#): > > Yes! Unless they’re part of a drag show. Or the Cake version of “I Will Survive.” > > Wait-- people do “I Will Survive” at _weddings_? It’s probably played at the same wedding where the first dance song hand chosen by the bride and groom is “Every Breath You Take” by The Police. ---

And then half way through the evening “Old Time Rock and Roll” comes on, which does not in any way sooth my soul, Bob. ---

I mentioned Chantilly Lace upthread. That may be the song I hate most in the world, but I really could do without any statutory rape songs, like that one that goes “Young girl, get out of my mind; my love for you is way out of line. Better run girl, you’re much too young girl!” [Also, a song that actually makes me laugh, even though it isn’t supposed to, could disappear tomorrow, and the world would be no worse off](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBdSqk78nHw). [Except we would lose this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTi6efpPSZ0&list=RDdTi6efpPSZ0#t=24). ---

> [@CairoCarol](#): > > I am woman, hear me roar! Not even the Darlene Edwards (Jo Stafford) [cover?](http://youtu.be/FqVGr843h1E) Down the dial at the classical music station, I’m pretty tired of An American in Paris/Rhapsody in Blue’s heavy rotation, which I never especially liked. I always liked Ravel’s Le tombeau de Couperin, but they’ve overplayed it so much my ears’ hair cells have a real “time to make the donuts” resignation to it. ---

“Happy” - Pharrell I honestly cannot believe I’m the first to mention this abomination! I hated it the first time I heard it and things have only gotten worse. Just thinking of it starts getting me irritated. ---
