Nauseatingly twee or cringe-making songs.

[foo]

, yes, love between men. Not too many songs out there deal with it.

was it really though?

i used to say it was, cos i wanted it to be. but i was never really sure.

someone was saying that Abba are universally known as cringeworthy, but i don't think they are. cheesy maybe, but good cheesy i reckon.

<goes to put on dancing queen>

edit:kyser, i just thought..was the reference to their 'toys' youknowwhat?

 

[sojourner]

oh sorry soj and kyser

it's celine dion, power of love if anyone wants to keep their lunch down...

it's not often i want to punch a song.

YES, we know that NOW

 

[sojourner]

Not cheesy, not corny. A story of friendship and, yes, love between men. Not too many songs out there deal with it.

what - like an australian brokeback mountain sort of a love? or more of a werthers original kind?

well put that's what i was wondering. i think i got hints of the mountain kinda lurve...and then elaborated.

 

[FiFi]

*ponders the song as affirmation of homosexual love*

No, sorry, even within this (slightly more positive) framework it's still the most tooth-achingly sentimental song ever recorded.

fucking hell. really?

i need to listen to this again at some point. i've obviously missed something crucial! wasn't there something about a toothbrush too? or was that a different song?

 

[tangentlama]

I woke up this morning with a most oppressively vile song running through my head, a song so nauseating, so twee, mawkish and revolting that I was tempted to bang my head on the wall.

The song? "Bobby's Girl", a song with lyrics that are surely the most vile affront to liberated womanhood ever recorded!


So, dear readers, what are your pet hates, what sickly-sweet sentimental tunes make your gorge rise and your throat tighten in anticipation of vomiting?

Cringe making songs -

Hate: there are many, but one that immediately springs to mind is 'Roads' by Portishead

I hate just about everything about it.

Sentimental song that doesn't make the bile rise is:
Love: the Andrew Gold song 'Never let her slip away'

 

[kyser_soze]

Um NO - it's about a bond of friendship between two men that even survives them fighting on different sides of a war, not a paen to Brokeback-lovin'.

It's funny how whenever bonds of love and friendship are ever talked about between hetrosexual men everyone automatically assumes it's a cover for homosexuality.

I love to love - tina charles


it grated then, it still grates now

 

[foo]

fucking hell. really?

well that's what i mean. i think i might've made it up.

shall we listen? can you bear it?

[sojourner]

i can't believe i just listened to two little boys, voluntarily

[kyser_soze]

Grow up.

 

[sojourner]

"Two Little Boys" - Rolf Harris

No that cannot be. Two little boys is a masterpiece.

I am convinced you must have a crack in your head where good songs leak out!

 

[foo]

actually, i just remembered i should be shot apparently, because i like chasing cars by snow patrol.

<offers backside>

i have honestly seen my cred go drip dripping down in people's eyes on hearing that...

 

[ViolentPanda]

I don't remember that song, but yes, it probably will.

Do you think that the regular appearance of teeth-gritting novelty songs in the UK Top 40 is the 'equal and opposite reaction' to also being spectacularly blessed in credible music?

I suspect that it is.

kyser, you're obviously forgetting the line that goes "gayly they played, each summer's day...".

 

[kyser_soze]

Oh yeah, I forgot gay can only mean arse-banditry these days.

 

[oryx]

My partner is having a Beach Boys phase. I'm not.

I don't know which is worse, the cringe-making falsetto or my hangover lie-in being interrupted this morning by that bit at the end of 'Barbara Anne' where they all sound drunk.

 

[ViolentPanda]

Look dude, it's all about sharing horses, playing gayly, macho pursuits like war, what can it be but rampant arse-banditry?

 

[Kizmet]

Even if they did play shuffle the oboe with each other all summer long.. the song is still about bravery, loyalty and sacrifice.

Meanies.



PS. I have no idea if 'shuffle the oboe' really is a euphamism for mutual masturbation.. but it is now.

That's funny. That song makes my dad really weep!

You are like my dad.

[Voley]

Clouds Across The Moon is absolutely brilliant

Yeah. Probably best to stop that line of thinking right there.. unless you got a couple of grand for psychiatrists fees..
