Songs I hate with a blinding rage
Today's new entry: "You are loved", by Josh Groban. Frankly, I hate everything by Josh Groban, but I keep hearing this fucking commercial for his new album on the radio and it's driving me crazy.

Can't say I've heard of the guy.
My latest big rage is that song by Pink that sees a few plays a day. I think it's about nightclubbing.

That's pretty insipid, but it's got nothing on this. In my humble opinion, of course.

The one song that has ever truly risen my ire is a little country gem called "The Little Girl". I would never have heard this song, but back in high school, my bus driver had a habit of blaring shitty country and everyone riding the bus had no choice but to suffer through it.
And, at around that time, this song was apparently rather popular among the backwoods, uneducated, redneck community. Basically, I'll just put up the lyrics and show you why this song would piss off a high-school aged atheist:

It's a pretty big nail in the coffin that holds some hypothetical respect for country music I might have once had.Her parents never took the young girl to church...
Never spoke of His name...
Never read her His word...
Two non-believers walking lost in this world...
Took their baby with them, what a sad little girl...
Her daddy drank all day and mommy did drugs...
Never wanted to play or give kisses and hugs...
She'd watch the tv and sit there on the couch...
While her mom fell asleep and her daddy went out...
And the drinking and the fighting...
Just got worse every night...
Behind their couch she'd be hiding...
Oh what a sad little life...
And like it always does, the bad just got worse...
With every slap and every curse...
Until her daddy in a drunk rage one night...
Used a gun on her mom and then took his life...
And some people from the city took the girl far away...
To a new mom and a new dad, kisses and hugs everyday...
Her first day of Sunday School...
Her teacher walked in...
And a small little girl starred at a picture of Him...
She said I know that man up there on that cross...
I don’t know His name but I know he got off...
Cause he was there in my old house...
And held me close to his side...
As I hid there behind our couch...
The night that my parents died.

My own coping method for "My Humps" is to imagine it's being sung by a camel. Wearing excessive makeup, lipstick, dangly earings, etc. The camel is trying pathetically to hit on camel handlers, tourists, anybody...General Zod wrote:I've yet to find anything that can top the sheer rage inducing idiocy of "My Humps" by Black Eyed Peas.

Don't see what's so bad about it. In fact, I dare say I like it a bit. Vaguely reminds me of about a dozen other songs, but that's not exactly a big problem, just means there's not a chance in hell of me buying any of Groban's work.Go to his website at joshgroban.com and prepare to be sickened.

I hate "My Humps" beyond all reason.
"The rest of the poem plays upon that pun. On the contrary, says Catullus, although my verses are soft (molliculi ac parum pudici in line 8, reversing the play on words), they can arouse even limp old men. Should Furius and Aurelius have any remaining doubts about Catullus' virility, he offers to fuck them anally and orally to prove otherwise." - Catullus 16, Wikipedia

I like Josh Groban's voice a lot - he's a classically trained baritone (tenor?) - but the lyrics are what bother me. They're ridiculously inane and sappy, and even when he sings in Italian he uses the word "amore" so much that you'd have to be deaf not to realize it's the same insipid shit. Honestly, why can't these pop/classical crossover singers have some sort of emotional range in their songs? All of it is variations on the following themes: "You hurt me but I still love you come baaaaack", "ZOMG I AM SO TOTALLY IN LOVE", "I was insecure but you loved me and cured all my neuroses", and "No idea what'll happen tomorrow but right now I love you so let's pretend tonight is forever".
In other words, he's basically Celine Dion with a penis. What a waste of talent.

Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these things... their number is negligible and they are stupid. --Dwight D. Eisenhower

I have a personal hatred for Tom DeLonge's voice, because he sounds like a whiney, emo cumstain. Whether he is or not, I don't give a shit. I just don't want to hear him.

Long ago in a distant land, I, Aku, the shape-shifting Master of Darkness, unleashed an unspeakable evil,
but a foolish samurai warrior wielding a magic sword stepped forth to oppose me. Before the final blow
was struck, I tore open a portal in time and flung him into the future, where my evil is law! Now, the fool
seeks to return to the past, and undo the future that is Aku...

My sister in law has the Josh Groban album with that "You lift me up" song on it. Whenever she plays it, my brother likes to sing over it as loudly as he can, with his own modified lyrics. When Josh Groban sings "You lift me up so I can stand on mountains" my brother yells "You lift me up so you can suck my ass". He makes a point of doing it every single time, and my sister in law has now commented that he's ruined the song for her by association, because he's done it so often that she can't help but hear him doing that in her head whenever she plays the song.

My biggest pet peeve iw when celebrities dick around with the national anthem. That's why I liked Billy Joel's performance at the Superbowl this year: he SANG THE FUCKING SONG, and he didn't dick around with it the way most celebs in the past have done.

The original isn't bad as novelty songs go, but why is it that every other month there's another goddamn carnival..."song", if I may abuse the word, poisoning the airwaves? Who listens to that shit?
