Kill me now
A new meme, “songs that make me want to kill myself” is doing the rounds (Via Ernie who got it from Lia). So I thought I’d share some of the songs I hate with a passion.
Moonshadow – Cat Stevens
Yes, I’m bein’ followed by a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow
Leapin and hoppin’ on a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow
And if I ever lose my hands, lose my plough, lose my land,
Oh if I ever lose my hands, Oh well…. I won’t have to work no more.
And if I ever lose my eyes, if my colours all run dry,
Yes if I ever lose my eyes, Oh well…. I won’t have to cry no more.
A substitute teacher I had in 7th grade used to sing it when the class was being too loud, the way she sung it freaked me out back then, and it still has an effect on me to this day.
The whole ‘Bat Out Of Hell’ album – Meatloaf
Like a bat out of hell
I’ll be gone when the morning comes
When the night is over
Like a bat out of hell I’ll be gone gone gone
Like a bat out of hell I’ll be gone when the morning comes
When the day is done
And the sun goes down
And the moonlight’s shining through
Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven
I’ll come crawling on back to you
My fathers a Meatloaf fan, I am not, and every Saturday morning I’d be subjected to hours of “Like a bat out of hell” blasting out of the stereo while I sit in a corner, rocking myself slowly. Saturday afternoons was a time when I contemplated his name choice… “Why would he call himself meatloaf, he doesn’t seem meaty or loafy in any way?”.
The ‘Home and Away’ theme song
And from the very first moment I saw you
I never felt such emotion
I’m walking on air
Just to know (just to know)
You are there (you are there)
Hold me in your arms
Don’t let me go
I want to stay forever
Home and away
With you each day
I’m not a home and away fan either, I’m sorry, but it’s a horrible TV show. It’s not possible for that many people to die, nearly die or have that many dramas in one bloody coastal town. Whenever I hear its theme song I cringe and try to block the lyrics out of my head. “Let me be the one that you turn too, someone you can rely on, closer each day home and away” – Kill me now.

Somebody told me that his name was Bill
Da do ron-ron-ron, da do ron-ron
Yeah, my heart stood still
Yes, his name was Bill
And when he walked me home
Da do ron-ron-ron, da do ron-ron
I knew what he was doing when he caught my eye
Da do ron-ron-ron, da do ron-ron
He looked so quiet but my oh my
Da do ron-ron-ron, da do ron-ron
Yeah, he caught my eye
Yes, oh my, oh my
And when he walked me home
Da do ron-ron-ron, da do ron-ron
(Sax solo)
He picked me up at seven and he looked so fine
Da do ron-ron-ron, da do ron-ron
Someday soon I’m gonna make him mine
Da do ron-ron-ron, da do ron-ron
Yeah, he looked so fine,
Yes, I’ll make him mine
And when he walked me home
Da do ron-ron-ron, da do ron-ron
(Fade on: Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah…
with: Da-do-ron-ron from background singers)

Dont you just hate it when you cant get those stupid soap themes out of your head? And will that home and away theme every ever change??? Kitta, i totally totally agree with you there. Meatloaf isn’t Loafy. 🙂

AHHH! The song that gets my hairs on end is Landslide by…Fleetwood Crap…I like the remakes by Smashing Pumpkins and Dixie Chicks but Stevie Nix crooning on that song with her falsetto is glass shattering chalkboard scraping mind numbingly bad
Also any pop diva song is trashcan worthy as well…from Celin to Mariah to Beyonce. I am a lover of all kinds of music from country to polka from rap to punk but there has got to be a limit to r&b crap out there.
Signed,
The landslide brought it down
P.S. Meatloaf is SOOO loafy! Yucky and greasy! Even ketchup wouldn’t help him.

I’m sorry, i cannot stand by idly while Cat Stevens is so unfairly abused. Granted, Moonshadow is not his best song… but he is a staple component of your musical education, and should not be sullied by a freaky 7th grade substitute.
Reccomendation that you seek therapy for this teacher’s damaging impact on your psyche so that you can move on and learn to love what deserves to be loved.

I am the same with RAP music. Every time I hear RAP music I want to take an M16 and shoot the radio and the owner. I believe the Raper writing the rap Crap has IQ of 40, that’s how I feel about to days music it’s 95% CRAP and “maybe 5%” of to days music is good!!!
“Rock on” with the good rock music of the 60’s and 70’s Your Dad and mom remember the good music of then.
who of you remember that song ” Rock on” and who did it? any one know?

Meatloaf was a single guy that sang from 1976- to 1983 i think.
the funny thing is, he look like a meatloaf, maybe that where the name came from!!

Those songs sound pretty bad. There is some dumb British soap opera called “Coronation Street”, I dunno if you get it in Australia….. but we do unfortunately in Canada, and the song drives me up the wall when ever it comes on…. There is no singing, but its just terrible music (the instruments sound whiny (I think its a trumpet actually))…..*shudder*
