Day 62 - Caution: Unchecked Rage Ahead

Three Songs that are popular right now that drive me absolutely batty and why...

1. Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love. The music itself and her voice is actually really lovely and melodic. I even sing along for awhile in the beginning everytime I hear it, forgetting that I detest this song.

Then suddenly (about midway) through, I start to wonder "Is this song skipping in the player?" One portion continues to replay. Over and over again, her lyrics whine, "I keep bleeding, I keep keep bleeding. I keep bleeding, I keep keep bleeding. I keep bleeding, I keep keep..." Omg, WOULD SOMEBODY GET THIS WOMAN A FRIGGIN BAND-AID?

I get it, gawd. He "cuts you open." But i can't help but think, 'Why are you with someone who makes you feel so awful; you're comparing it to a slow death via significant blood loss? Sounds like you need therapy! I dislike this song so much my ears are bleeding.

2. New Boyz - You're a Jerk. How in the f$#% did this get on the radio? It scratches my face with its obnoxious continuous repeating of "You're a jerk, you're a jerk, you're a jerk." I get it, you like the sample!! But does it really have to be played over and over and over again throughout the ENTIRE song? Turn it off you jerk!

You really ARE a jerk that you made an entire song celebrating that you're a jerk. What's wrong with the entire fabric of our society that this is actually acceptable on ANY airwave, let alone EVERY airwave EVERY ten minutes?

3. I Kissed a Girl - Katy Perry. Oh gosh, you're so free and crazy Katy! You're so funky, you don't even care. I think you're the coolest! Um, not.

Listen, why don't you go and fix the spelling of your name and then how bout' you stop singing altogether? Every time I hear that sing-song-y voice of yours whine "I kissed a girl and I liked it," it makes me want to punch you in the face. Or myself in the face if I have to listen to that silly song again.

O wow. You even tasted her cherry chapstick? How retro pin-up of you. You just made yourself famous by tapping into the cheap fantasy of every half-brained guy in the country. If you were a true lesbian--sure, I might respect you--coming out and telling us your feelings and all. But you're not. You're just some girl who got drunk and messed around at a party and now you're so damn proud of yourself, you're singing a very lame song about.

p.s. Congratulations, you just inspired countless little hetero girls in their tweens to go make out with other girls, giving them unneccessary am-i-gay complexes into atleast their early twenties. O, Claps to you. You're so cool...

radio in general leaves me cold these days, i was putting it up to my age, but really i don't think the current "artists" know how to write lyrics nor play their instruments. anytime they lean on repeating a phrase too, too many times means they can't write a coherent thought. or even a half ass decent hook.
I blame the Beatles for this. they made it look all too easy because before them there were just song writers, just singers, just musicians and music was good then the Beatles come along and blow every body's minds with their talent and gave too many young men the idea that anyone can do this for a living. sigh... Who doesn't want to strap on a guiter and jump around a stage and have the opposite sex oggle you, shout out your name and fall at your feet? well... turns out there are some who should have left that career path alone and let our ears have peace! on the other hand, maybe we should blame the A.R guys for getting such tripe on the air... oh i must be just a cranky old person or your rage is catching!

My thoughts exactly on the Katy Perry song... All it does is promote sexual promiscuity in young girls. I think it was irresponsible of the record company to release that song. It was actually written back in the eighties, I think that's when, but could not be released. Kind of goes to show the steady decline of our society the past twenty years..

cole: soldier boy is an excellent addition! Dave, in particular, hates this song so much--it was the first song he told our wedding dj "DO NOT PLAY!" for fun, perhaps he'll indulge us here as to his whys....
Vicki: LOL well-said. i couldn't agree with you more, and it's not an age thing. Radio is a complete and utter waste of time. i can not believe people listen to it. so commercial and flat, without any soul.
ur right, there's too many kids out there who's daddy's money takes them to the top, when they should have stayed home and got a liberal arts degree.
Denny: Couldn't agree more!

I am 100% with you on Bleeding Love. Seriously, when is that hot mess going to go away?!

Right Round ---Flo Rida---
1) annoying, annoying, annoying. That stupid, stupid song gets in my head all day. Stupid re-do, of stupid song from the 80's.
2) I thought that song was about oral sex until I just "googled" it. Nope, it's about strippers and watching them slide down poles and bounce their asses around. Hmmm??? Better? Not really.
3) Flo Rida? Florida. Flo Rida wasn't such a bad rap name until I discovered it actually says a state name. Isn't that as lame as Vanilla Ice or any other rapper name for that matter?

MY EARS KEEP BLEEDING, KEEP KEEP BLEEDING said...

i stopped here from Petunia and saw you are a fellow san diegan :)!
so hello, and i have to listen to katy perry because i have a 7 year old daughter, Lola, who LOVES that son. pffft. she doesn't have any idea she's singing about experimentation when she sings ' i kissed a girl '

Darcy said...

Sara: Omg, I wish I knew.
Erica: ROFL, that just got stuck in my head. These "rappers" will be the death of me. Don't you just envy the previous generation who lived their childhoods peacefully without these atrocious cultural phenomenons. No wonder we're in the middle of a conservative religious pushback--some of the "mainstream" accepted is SICK and LEWD! I often AGREE with the religious nutjobs, minus the creepy Apocolypse and Rapture part (that's a whole nother blog...isn't that just the weirdest thing you've ever heard?)
Babe: I LOVE THE ALL CAPS YOU MADE ME LAUGH SO HARD< I LOVE HOW MUCH YOU HATE THAT SONG OMG I HATE IT TOO

to Maggie May;
Your comment about your daughter reminds me of many years ago when my then 5 yr old son used to go around singing "bad boys, bad boys"
(from the them of America's Most Wanted.) Thanks for the memory!

I think this is a true reflection of our dwindling morals and society in general. When these music tardists go platinum, it doesnt mean that they are actually any good at making music, it just means that a million brain dead individuals bought into it.
But let me say this, I would like to thank a few of these said tards, such as 50 Cent though. It was because of bootlegs that allowed me to go to Mexico most of that summer.
