Deal Breaker Song

[tripperfunster]

Does anyone else have 'deal breaking' songs, that when, if you're listening to the radio, you'll automatically turn the station?

For me, when I"m listening to classic rock, I just cannot stand to hear 'Another Brick in the Wall (II).' I'm not even sure why. It's not a bad song, but for some reason I DO NOT WANT. I think, maybe I've just heard it too much for one lifetime. ?

For newer stuff, I turn off 'Wrecking Ball', mostly because I find it to be a horrible ear worm. It's not a good or bad song, really, but I can't stop humming it even hours later and it drives me insane. I don't really have an opinion of Miley Cyrus. I don't really like her, and I think she's gone off the deep end a bit, but I also think she has the right to do whatever the hell she wants. I don't want to be all "OMG a woman showing her sexuality??? *gasp*" ON the other hand, I find her kind of creepy, but neither of those things have much to do with my 'deal breaker' feelings about her song. Mostly it's just way overplayed.

How 'bout you guys?

Oh my god yes. I LOATHE that new song "Say Something", mostly because I was forced to listen to it on endless repeat for over an hour one day at work while my boss listened (and sang) to it over and over and over.

Also "Blurred Lines", because fuck you Robin Thicke.

On a sadder note, I have to immediately switch stations if I hear "Layla" by Eric Clapton because I will always break down crying, as it reminds me of a dear friend named Leyla who passed away.

What is wrong with Robin Thicke? (aside from his heritage?) Is he a total douchebag? I honestly don't follow much celebrity stuff, aside from what I see on tumblr.

And yeah, I have the same problem with the song 100 Years by Five for Fighting. It's a beautiful song, and when I'm alone in the car I"ll listen, but it makes me cry every time, because it was playing a lot when my friend Grant died of cancer. I love it, because it reminds me of him, but it's pretty much guaranteed that I'll cry.

That song is horribly misogynistic and promotes rape culture, and the video is a disgusting piece of shit with half-naked women and he's never once (to my knowledge) shown an ounce of understanding about the effect the song has on women.
