Songs that have been ruined for you

[starskin]

Wait, was there ever a time that song wasn't ruined, barrie?

[hobbes]

I'm with Starskin. Nickelback songs are ruined at the point of gestation. There are no exceptions.

Of course, any song that uses 'U' instead of 'You' is automatically put into this category.

^^Permission to make an exception for "Nothing Compares 2 U"

[starskin]

Well, yeah, underjoyed...I think the exception extends to all songs written by Prince.

[underjoyed]

Prince, Schmince. I just like crazy ol' Sinead. Although, come to think of it, Julia Roberts' strangled squeaking in Pretty Woman ruined "Kiss" - the only other song by Prince I actually like(d). Now every time I hear it, all I can think of is Horseface in a bubble bath. Which is not an image I will ever want to recall.

Horseface in a bubble bath

And you had to remind us of that image?!

Hell, I've never even seen Pretty Woman and that's a disturbing image.

[underjoyed]

I know. It burns

I believe it was OB tampons who used this (disco-y) song a few years ago in one of their commercials. It went something like, "work it baby, work it all night". I never liked the song but I never paid it any attention until the tampon ads. Several of my local radio stations LOVE the damn song and still play it hourly. As soon as I hear it begin, visions of the girl with the afro doing aerobics dance through my head. Then I scream until my ears bleed.

This was "Let it Whip" by Dazz Band. I LOVE that song. But yes, I can remember this commercial, and I have to give this commercial some credit for making me remember the song.

That's sad.

"Crazy" by Gnarls Barkley kind of became dead to me after I listened to it 18 times in a row during a run. Ughhhh.
