So I’ve been listening to Amp for the past bit, using it as background music (or background noise, whichever you would like to call it). I’ve noticed two songs that are ridiculously overplayed. Not that radios don’t overplay songs in general, but these two songs… bug me. Really bug me. Maybe I’m being picky, but seriously, every time I hear these songs… I literally want to bash my head into the desk, heh.
Now don’t get me wrong, I do love listening to Amp. And I’m sure there are lots of people out there who love these songs and think they’re amazing. I can see why: they’re catchy (hate it when they get stuck in my head) and they’re fun (but the lyrics are a tad ridiculous). Maybe I’ve just heard these songs way too much, but something about them bugs me anyways. So without further ado…
The first of these incriminating songs? Ke$ha‘s TiK ToK.

Why, would you ever, ever, EVER, want to brush your teeth with a bottle of Jack? That’s gross. Sure the party life may be fun and appealing, but I’m pretty certain minty fresh toothpaste works just as well. In addition to that, this song definitely doesn’t promote a healthy lifestyle. Trust me, sleep is much better for you than all night partying. 😀
The other one? Lady Gaga‘s Bad Romance.

I quite like most of Lady Gaga’s songs, but this one was just… an over the line kind of thing. Repeating nonsense syllables? Fun for the first few times. After that, it’s just headache inducing. You and me? No, it’s you and I (as oh so kindly mentioned at the previous YVC meeting, heh… glad to know I’m not the only one who gets bothered by that!).
My apologies if you adore these songs. I don’t mean to hate on them—just expressing my annoyance at the the songs of today with a bit of quirky humour. Or my annoyance at how hearing a song too many times can drive you insane. (And you know what’s even better? I’m listening to Amp as I write this… and Bad Romance just started playing. Lovely.)
Any comments? Otherwise… enjoy your day! 😀
