I kissed a girl (and I liked it)... or "Where has all the good music gone?" email this discussion to a friend?

For those of you who might not be familiar with the source of this discussion's title, it's part of a song by Katy Perry. The song's about a girl's alcohol-fueled bi-curious exploits, but that's not the point of this discussion.

The point of it is that I've had that song stuck in my head for days. It usually plays once or twice during my shifts at work. Sure, it has a catchy beat, but that can't outweigh the insipid blah of those horrid lyrics. Yet there it is, stuck in my head like it thinks it belongs there or something.

I've tried listening to other songs. It's worked temporarily. I ended up with Utada Hikaru's Passion stuck in my head yesterday. Then I went to work, where the first stinking song that played on the overhead system was--you guessed it--that wretched, wretched attention-grabber's anthem.

So how on Earth do you get a song that's stuck in your head to stay out? And why the heck is it always, always, always the songs you absolutely, positively loathe that embed themselves in your synapses?

I really miss the days when the music on the radio was actually good. cry

w00t Gosh that title had me worried!
Then I read the whole discussion and ..... I get it now lol

Of course I went and Googled the singer you mention and heard the song and... I know exactly what you mean.
Ok I am in Italy but it's no different here either. Just 'noise' on the radio. Anything that rhymes or is contoversial gets on the radio nowadays but no real MUSIC. So sad too.
Where have all the good songs gone or is it the same as just about everything? Nothing is valued as it was years ago and so, it would seem. also the music we have to listen too sad

I think songs like that one are the reason I started listening to Japanese music when I was in high school. Aside from the beats, they're all the same: bland, wannabe rebellion delivered by half-dressed pop tarts. Today's music is just a pale shadow of what music should be.

I say we blame commercialization. It takes the heart out of everything.

It got killed by pop music, rap and hip hop. Those murdering bast... erm... jerks.
Can't really say I've had a song I abhored stuck in my head before but sure I've had chunks of songs that annoy me, or that I don't even like get int here before. Like that stupid song about the boots with the fur... oh great here we go again -.-

That and try avoiding mainstream music as much as possible. I pulled it off well enough. I'bve never heard of this song or katy whatserface before. It's a hard talent to gain levels in but once you get going you make steady progress.;p

I usually don't have problems with avoiding crappy music. All I really listen to is Japanese, and I couldn't really care less about what the American "artists" are doing. I just can't avoid it as well as I used to these days. It's one of the downsides of working in a store that makes part of its profits from music sales. I think I'll just stick to my book department. They're a lot less noisy than those ratty-tatty CD's.

OMG, is that L I see in your avatar? Death Note is so made of win. wub

Yeah it's L.
A good portion of what I listen to is Japanese too. Or from somewhere other than North America.

I know what you mean! I detest the song because it is irritating, not good musically, and the words are not something I want my little ones singing. They don't understand the song's message. I try to be sure it is not on our radio, but when you are in the stores, etc., you can't run and flip off the power button or change the tuning dial. However, after I've heard it, the song keeps running in my mind. In fact, now that you have mentioned it . . . grrrrr!
