Day 25 → My Day, in Great Detail
My day consisted of preparing conference receipts. To tell you about it in great detail would almost be as bad as re-living it, and certainly torturous for anyone foolish enough to try and read it.
I have a better idea. I have gone back to the beginning of this project and I'm going to do the opposite in some cases - i.e. things I like the least.
I therefore present the songs I hate most in all the world, in backwards order, with annotations:
10 Loving You by Minnie Riperton - the screechy yodeling noise she makes, as well as the la la la la la just makes me want to climb the walls.
9 Runaround Sue by Dion - look up the lyrics to this one some time and see if you don't want to kick his ass. He claims to be in love with this girl, but he's spreading rumours about her! How could she possibly run around "with every single guy in town"? And even if that's true (which it couldn't be), are you her father, you little prick?? I hope Sue relocated his ass to another time zone with the aid of a steel toed boot!
8 The Girl is Mine by Paul McCartney & Michael Jackson - the words "the doggone girl is mine" just makes me want to slap both of them.
7 Ebony and Ivory by Paul McCartney & Stevie Wonder - there is something about the rhythm of this song that just makes me crazy. It's probably impossible to convey it in words but I'll try. Each dash represents an unnecessary (in my opinion, anyway) pause in the silly song: "Ebony and I-v-ory come together in perfect harm-on-y, side by side on my pi-an-o key-board oh lord why - don't - we?"
6 You Light Up My Life by Debbie Boone - I never did like this song, but the fact that it was played on the radio approximately 50 million times made me truly loathe it.
5 Jack and Diane by John Mellencamp - hate it hate it HATE IT
4 Believe by Cher - the voice manipulation makes me clench my teeth like you wouldn't believe. Hate it.
3 Your Cheatin' Heart by Hank Williams - just thinking about his screechy voice belting this out makes me cringe. The song sounds like whoever recorded it was cranking the turntable manually, and doing a lousy job of it. Between the screechy caterwauling , bad grammar, and whimsical tempo, I can't listen to this song.
2 Strawberry Fields Forever by The Beatles - Something about this song creeps me out, and always has done. I won't listen to it. I'll shut the radio off if it comes on, and I'll leave if it's playing somewhere I can't control the music. Hate it.
1 Don't Worry, Be Happy by Bobby McFarrin - the worst song in all the world, and I include all possible future songs in this estimation. Don't you tell me how to feel, you bastard! I never did like this song, but people will insist on playing it , thinking it's a happy little tune. I can't listen to it. If I'm forced to for some reason (i.e. I'm trapped in someone else's car and they refuse to turn the damn thing off) it will put me into a bad mood for hours.
