I love Journey. But for some reason I hated, “Don’t Stop Believin” and I could not understand why I loathed that song until I recently rewatched The Sopranos for the second time after 16 years and the final episode had that song playing until the “blackout.” And now I know why…

Anyone else had a similar experience with a popular song that you couldn’t explain why it rubbed you the wrong way?

    I despise the line “I blew out a flip flop” in Margarita Ville runs. I don’t know why. I think about a lot.

      Yeah but it’s not some big mystery why Margaritaville sucks. The lyrics are asinine and empty. What’s worse: it’s catchy.

        Exactly what you want in a beach bar song. Not everything needs to show off how deep and complicated the songwriter is emotionally.

          Oh, I agree. I don’t know why it bothers me so much. It’s just a stupid song. It’s happy. I like happy. It’s even relatable to me. I’ve put an unhealthy amount of thought thought into into it.
