Songs that make you hate.

At work someone was playing the local Radio Station Hosted By Obnoxious Assholes, WDRQ in Detroit. I heard them say, "We'll be right back with a Christmas song we know you'll find hilarious!!" They did come back, and they played a little song called "Osama got run over by a reindeer." Already I wanted to kill; then someone said "Turn this up!", and judging on past-experiences with this guy, I know he didn't like it in any ironic sense; no, he really thought this was hilarious. As well as the dumbfuck DJs (who are the living embodiments of all that is wrong with humanity).

And I realized. This song is proof. The terrorists have won.

I gotta get out of America.

Is it as good as "Bomb Iran""? Actually you're probably too young to remember

There is a lot of dimwitted, meatnecked propagando out there, but I'm not offended by anti-Osama stuff (he did, after all, knock down a pair of our buildings and kill thousands of innocents, let's remember).

Most jingoistic stuff frightens more than makes me hate. Worried about a country more obsessed with being Number One in wealth and power than in ideals and ethics.

So I guess I'll say song that makes me hate is shit like "Jenny From The Block", or songs that pointlessly list the rapper/singer's material goods. And songs that demand women gyrate for their entertainment without saying please.

Good, well-reasoned point, Anthony. And, I can support any argument that takes a potshot at Jennifer Lopez. Salut!

Right now, the only song that makes me hate more than "Jenny From The Block" is "Like I Love You". Jingoistic propoganda isn't even on my radar.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Saturday, 14 December 2002 21:08 (twenty-one years ago) link

Common's "I Got A Right Ta". It makes me hate people who don't like Common. Or the Neptunes. Or Tom Waits.

The "Jenny From the Block" video inspires more hate in me than the song does. It just takes the dubious messages of the song and amps them up and shoves them in your face in no indefinite terms. The song itself could be harmless enough, but the video is damnable.

― Aaron A., Saturday, 14 December 2002 21:41 (twenty-one years ago) link

The video for "Jenny From The Block" caused my wife to roundly curse out our television.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Saturday, 14 December 2002 21:50 (twenty-one years ago) link

Something about the absurdly arrogant pack of lies that is "Jenny from the Block"'s lyrics coupled with her ceaseless insistance on showing her midriff (which, frankly, is....as the Brits might say....bog-standard) makes me scream at the screen every time I see it. She's simply *NOT THAT INTERESTING*!!!!!

"I stay grounded as the amounts roll in......I'm down to earth like this -- rockin' this business!"

Fuck you, you ego-bloated, materialistic careerist harpee!

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Saturday, 14 December 2002 22:43 (twenty-one years ago) link

Although the entire point of Jenny from the Block is basically to remind us that she is both rich and down to earth it still is not flat-out wrong as Osama Got Ran Over by a Reindeer.

For starters, Grandma Got Ran Over by a Reindeer is, in and of itself, an abomination on comedy. When you add the idiotic, and well-beyond obvious humor of OH MAN OSAMA SUX LETS ALL PUMP OUR FISTS IN THE AIR FOR AMERICA, you get something so outlandishly offensive to anybody with taste it's sickening.

― David Allen, Saturday, 14 December 2002 23:15 (twenty-one years ago) link

This thread made me shut off Miles Davis and throw Jenny From the Block on! Who cares about lyrics, anyway? The flute, man! THE FLUTE.

Jethro Tull to thread!

― Daniel_Rf (Daniel_Rf), Saturday, 14 December 2002 23:59 (twenty-one years ago) link

A trillion flutes can't mask the vile stench of misguided hubris and denial on that track.

You haven't heard early Kraftwerk, have you?

― Adam A. (Keiko), Sunday, 15 December 2002 00:08 (twenty-one years ago) link

Are you suggesting, Adam, that Kraftwerk (a band that have never, to my knowledge, employed a flute) are pretentious or steeped in denial?

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Sunday, 15 December 2002 00:23 (twenty-one years ago) link

There's flute all over early Kraftwerk. (which is good!)

― original bgm, Sunday, 15 December 2002 00:26 (twenty-one years ago) link

But but but TULL!

In the focus group, I dismissed "Like I Love You" with considerable restraint (but I still gave it a 0 and then played my joker as well). I saved the REAL bile for "In My Place." Why the fuck have those clowns not been killed?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 15 December 2002 00:31 (twenty-one years ago) link

..."TULL"... "focus group"... Ned, Ned, are we tryin' to ref(l)ute some subliminal Thijs van Leer obsession here!?

just posted this in the "Worst Album Cover" thread, but it applies here too--

Thijs van Leer

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 15 December 2002 02:58 (twenty-one years ago) link

Thijs, erm, played flute in da group named Focus, from Holland
-- "Sylvia", "Harem Scarem", etc, '70s stuff and (*whispers*) not all of it nonsense...

Well then listen to the Beatnuts song* she ganked it from instead!

I hate Anti-Flag. and manic-panic hair dye. I'm a L'Oreal man, myself.

Tim McGraw inspires homicidal rage in me, refer "Red Ragtop" and "Don't Take The Girl" - HATE! HATE! HATE!

Man you spin me round is my all time hate song. It sounds like the engineer should’ve told the band to stop doing coke cuz the song is wack as fuck

― Ross, Saturday, 11 August 2018 06:23 (five years ago) link

Scrolling up — it would be adorably quaint (today) to be offended by something like, “Osama got run over by a reindeer”

― empire bro-lesque (morrisp), Saturday, 11 August 2018 06:39 (five years ago) link

'Jenny From the Block' remains as obnoxious as ever, though.

2002 should be thankful they didn't have to put up with this

If there was a fucking button that I could press that would eliminate the fucking song 'Africa' by the fucking band Toto off the face of the fucking Earth, I would press the fucking thing a million times, and I speak as a person who once upon a time found both song and band inoffensive.

"Power" by Kanye West, along with maybe another 40 or 50 by him, reminds me of how much I hate hearing his nerdy nasal voice trying...

You Spin Me Round by Dead Or Alive? That's a great tune!

― kraudive, Sunday, 12 August 2018 16:36 (five years ago) link

Yeah, I agree - wouldn't want to live in a world where that track doesn't exist.

― Le Baton Rose (Turrican), Sunday, 12 August 2018 21:22 (five years ago) link

mine are few, but boy do they make me hate

You Spin Me Round was one of the first songs I heard at about 8 years old where I thought I liked this here pop music and I think it might be special for me. It brought me here. It means a lot to me.

― kraudive, Sunday, 12 August 2018 21:42 (five years ago) link

Ah kraudive, glad you’re here no disrespect meant
