Tormenting Tunes

As I was sitting, surfing the Internet and listening to my array of music on my iTunes, I noticed that I love songs that suck. I think this is because in the music industry, there are a lot of good performers who can sing perfectly and belt it out without going sharp. After listening to so many "good" songs, they start to just blend into the crowd. They become just another rose song in the bouquet of music. So, in order to make my music section and pain section of my brain go off at the same time, I play songs that cause anguish as I listen. Here are some of the agonizing songs in my playlist:


1. "Barriers" by David Archuletta



This song makes me cringe because he is singing an R&B genre song but he is as white as white comes. And he's LDS. Every time he says "hey!" in the beginning and echos during the chorus, it just sends me into an epileptic seizure. A good sort of epileptic seizure...but bad.

2. "Womanizer" by Britney Spears


It didn't take me long to memorize this song for obvious reasons. I think the main reason why I love to hate this song is because of the cool repetitive lyrics. It's kind of catchy. However, when you are not listening to the chorus, she sounds like a cat that was trapped in a fire but somehow survived and now it's voice box is completely screwed up and it's in heat. Yeah...I'd say that's pretty accurate.

3. "Year 3000" by Jonas Brothers


First off, why underwater? Why? This, to me, makes so sense. Second, great-great-great granddaughter... If someone from the future came and told me that my great-great-great-granddaughter was going "fine", I don't think it would mean anything to me. What sort of reaction is anyone supposed to have? Oh! PHEW! I was SO worried! I mean, she's fine, right? Are you sure?! PHEW! Thank goodness I have THAT off my mind, now I can move on with my life! Honey, we're going out!!

4. "Love Story" by Taylor Swift


It took me about 9 listens of this song to:
1. Figure out how the melody goes
2. Get the lyrics down
Although this is a very romantic and cliche song about love, it goes on my "painful" songs because it took me so long to figure out the tune of the song. When I first heard it, it sounded like random notes to make a random song. Now that I've listened to it 9 times, it's not so weird.



Okay, so there are 4 songs that make my ears bleed in a good way. Hopefully you feel the same music pain as I do. It's a fun feeling!
