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?
It’s opposite for me (in that I now like a song I hated). I never really liked Hip To Be Square by Huey Lewis. It always felt a bit cheesy to me, and I always thought Power Of Love did a much better job of showcasing Huey’s talent.
But then I saw that scene in American Psycho. And now when I hear Hip To Be Square, it reminds me of how much I love that movie. So I don’t mind the song any more.
