Can be an original song…but also covers too…because, in my case, the original is great but this version is the worst thing committed to tape/YouTube
(I mean obviously it’s astonishingly shit on its own…but to me it’s the perfect summation of an alternative culture completely devoid of any values or character; just a desktop theme for your life to make you seem 0.0001% less Tory because you have some vaguely “metal” tattoos/piercings.)
I mean there are scores of pop songs that I despise, but an overrated song that I fucking hate is ‘Sympathy for the Devil’. Absolutely does my head in every time. Never goes anywhere and the woo woos drive me insane.
Really hard to choose between this and the other one, but I think it’s this - if only because Shaun of the Dead ensured it was played everywhere for much of my 20s.
You’re too fucking right I don’t you dopey clown composer of irritating of ring tones. What I want to do is poke my eardrums out with knitting needles.
It’s this. This song fucking haunts me, man. The places I work have commercial radio on so I hear this pretty much every day. It’s one of the shittest songs of all time and it actually hurts my ears.
