Songs That Make You Want to Rip Your Ears Off

Why is this happening?!

Well, at least this girl still lives in the neighborhood she's representing (she's already got a Wiki page).

It is my secret shame. I've been obsessed with this song for weeks. I just love it. And I don't even like the original version. I need help.

I liked it, too. Only problem is that since I clicked on that link, I've had the original song in my head. GET OUT OF MY HEAD, JLO

I wanna put you on repeat, play you everywhere I go, e-e-everywhere I go, play you everywhere I go
Put you on repeat, play you everywhere I go, e-e-everywhere I go, play you everywhere I go

Yeah
Wanna put this song on replay,
I can listen to it all day,
I can listen to you all day,
Hear you all day
Yeah
Wanna put this song on replay,
We can start all over again and again, yeah
Wanna put this song on replay

Replay. Replay. Replay. Replay.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! Most ironic lyrics EVER.

Double posting for another one -- #Selfie I know it's a joke, but why would anyone actually want to listen to it?? It's like this generations' Valley Girl, except it's not as catchy and is littered with trite EDM noise.

I hate Story of My Life by One Direction, with Nickelback-levels of hatred. Just hearing the first few notes makes me angry.

With the exception of "Misery Business", anything by Paramore. Haaaaate Hayley's voice. Hate it.

"Dark Horse" by Katy Perry. Because clearly you have no clue what a dark horse is and Juicy J can find a nice quiet place to fuck off to.

"The Man" by Aloe Blacc. Because I don't care if it's only a few notes/words. You don't rip off Elton John. It only makes you look foolish.

"Heart Attack" by Demi Lovato. Did someone tell this girl that shouting = singing. Because no.

Dark Horse is a combination of a simple crescendo buildup that's also used on like every other EDM song, background music that's a ripoff of this, and an intro that rips off the one in this song. It's a typical Dr. Luke/Max Martin patchwork of legal ripoffs and musical simplicity which, of course, means it's a HUGE hit.

Perry then asked producer Dr. Luke to contact American rapper Juicy J for a guest verse. The rapper said Perry had a "very professional" work ethic and was substantially involved in the song's development. He said: "My verse I did on that song, she was singing it. She's really a genius, she was by the mixing board and telling the guy what to take in and take out. She's really hands-on with her music, she knows music."

She told the guy which sounds she didn't actually create herself to put in and take out. She's a musical genius! But wait, then what were all of these people doing --

It was engineered by Peter Carlsson, Mike "Crazy Mike" Foster, Clint Gibbs, Sam Holland, and Michael Ilbert. They were assisted by Eric Eylands, Rachael Findlen, Justin Fox, Elliot Lanam, and Cory Bice. It was mixed by Serban Ghenea, while John Hanes served as the engineer for mix. All instrumentation and programming was done by Dr. Luke, Max Martin, and Cirkut.

Every time I read about how a hit song is constructed it blows my mind. It took really took all of these people to create a simple catchy song? Why??!!

Because all that waveform editing in Pro Tools makes you cross-eyed after 6 hours. You need to hand off to the next guy.

That's the worst part, isn't it? So many people and the song is so...simple?
