(no subject)

Top eight least favorite songs:

1. "Hit Me Baby One More Time" or whatever it's called, by... do I really need to say? The girl can't sing, and it's just so pop it's sickening.

 

2. "I'm A Slave 4 U" by the same artist. Look up "sex slave", Brit. Please.

3. I don't know the title, but it was this funeral song we had to sing in 9th grade chorus. To give you an idea of the torture, it went something like:

Quannnndoooo corrrpuuuus

Corrrrpuuus...

It was accompanied by screeching violin music, via the Orchestra. When I greeted my parents after the concert, my Dad went, "what was that?"

4. Another chorus song, The Month of Maying. Need I say more?

Didn't think so.

5. Dear Old Shiz from Wicked. I just don't get the point of it. ^^

6. The middle part of Thank Goodness from Wicked. Why is Madame Morrible talking like a Disney villian? (I surprisingly like the rest of the song, but I always turn the volume down at that one part, simply so nobody thinks I'm listening to Snow White).

7. I Want A Girl. It's this old drinking song from the 1940's that I had to sing when I volunteered at an Adult Day Care Center. (An ADCC is - well, what the name implies. For adults who don't need to be in a home, but want to be out of the house and need somewhere to go).

8. In this case, it's not the song, but the singer. I have this tape of Christmas songs, and it has that one song... I forget what it's official name is, but it's the one that goes "do you hear what I hear", etc. Well, the tape has the world's most apathetic, monotonous guy singing it. "A star. A star. Shining. In the light."

*laughs at the fact that the first few songs are from Britney Spears*

That "Do You Hear What I Hear" song I actually love. REALLY. No sarcasm in this post. My mom used to play that tape in her car when we returned from my grandparents around Christmas.

Me too, that's what upset me the most about that guy's version.

Or do you mean you know what guy I mean?

"A star. A star. Shining. In the light."

I so totally hear William Shatner's voice doing that.

No, wait, I don't! I remember a woman singing it. That's weird. Is it William Shatner? I can imagine that, so maybe I have heard it...

I'm curious what version you're thinking of-do you have a copy of it, by any chance?

LOL. You're list is just too funny, especially thge last couple.

I think we've all had horrible Chorus songs, usually cause the singers and directors stink, any other amazing chorus would make them sound good.

Number four reminds me somehow of "Gaudeamus igiatur", but Gaudeamus is a good song.

Especially when sung by the Head of the School of Law at the powhiri because the entertainment got delayed. All by himself.

I have one to add.

Millenium Prayer by Cliff Richard.

Please. Plagiarising the Bible is just pretty sad, really.

Hi there. This may seem a little random (I wasn't sure how else to contact you), but I believe you commented on a story of mine here (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2583777/1/). First off, thanks so much for the comment, and I'm glad you enjoyed the story :) Secondly, I'm really flattered you'd like to add it to a rec list, so please, by all means, go ahead and do so if that's what you'd like. Thanks again!

Oh - no problem! :) I guess the email link didn't work - I'm sorry. But anyway, yeah, I'll definitely rec it once I have the whole list together.
