    Last Christmas. It’s the Christmas one night stand song. And it just repeats the same thing a thousand times. Turn that shit off.

      The song itself is pretty nice but just the fact that it’s playing 24/7 in loop at every fucking shop or ad made me absolutely detest it

    Happy. It does the exact opposite for me. Doesn’t help I worked retail when the song was huge so I’d hear it 5+ times a day/hour.

  • When I was 19, I worked on the Pride of America cruise ship. I got on board the last week or two it was in dry dock finishing construction. One of those weeks, they tested the PA system extensively. They did this by playing Queen’s “Radio Ga-Ga” on loop, 24/7. For a week. And there were PA speakers in my cabin.

    You ever see a comedy where they do “psychological torture” by playing an unpopular song? This was that, but for real. Every time I hear that fucking song now, I have PTSD flashbacks. The saddest thing was, when I first heard it played there, it was the first time I ever heard it period and I kind of liked it.

    But that ship has sailed.

      This is one of mine, too. My partner and I used to work for this store that sold used instruments and sound equipment. She told one of the testers it was my favorite song, so for six months, any time he tested something, he would play it. Randomly one day he came up to me and asked if I enjoyed the music he’d been using because I never said anything, and I explained that I hated that song. He was absolutely shocked and then laughed and told me what my partner had told him. It was a good prank, despite my suffering.
