10 Songs Everyone Loves… Except Me, Part 2
Here we are again! The grumpy cat of Medium (that’s my nickname, right? Please tell me I have a whimsical nickname!) is at it again. Sweet Caroline, Cat’s in the Cradle, Wonderful Tonight… all songs people love. Except me. They’re all in part 1, check it out.
Aaaand now… it’s time for part 2! And remember, I have nothing against the artists themselves, this is all just a bit of fun! Here we go, in no particular order!
Yes Sir, I Can Boogie by Baccara — I don’t know about everybody else, but the kind of parties I go to usually end with this one, or ABBA’s entire back catalogue on a loop. And if I hear this one more time, I will probably pretend that I need to go to the bathroom, just so I can avoid hearing Baccara claiming over and over that they can boogie. It’s like, all right then, if you can boogie, just boogie away and stop telling people about it!
Living on the Ceiling by Blancmange — Blancmange’s biggest hit drives me up the wall. Or the ceiling — ha, get it? Anyway, makes no sense, the vocals are annoying and it’s one of those songs that go on for ages without going anywhere.
Everybody Hurts by REM — I love REM. But Everybody Hurts is a little too sappy. It’s the type of song that is trying to make you love it because it has such a supposedly universal appeal and unobjectionable message…
