Which songs do you hate?
It struck me as funny the other morning when we had the radio on during our morning routine and my wife slapped it off when Kool and the Gang’s “Celebration” came on … especially since I’d started to happily hum along.
“Whatdeheck?” I said.
“I hate that song,” she said.
“You can’t hate that song. Nobody hates it.”
“All right, but I’ve heard it too many times.”
And then I knew what she meant. There are, indeed, many many fine songs that all of us have simply heard tooooooo many times, to the point that even though you like them OK, you just don’t need to hear them any more.
High on my list: “Stairway to Heaven,” “Hey Jude,” and “Rocket Man.” Don’t dislike ‘em. Just won’t listen to ‘em anymore.
What’s on your list?
