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 really disliked how The Sopranos ended!
Van Halen’s Jump comes to mind first, although my reason is just how overplayed it was.
I suppose one that I disliked a long while for a different reason is Bring Me to Life by Evanescence. I later remembered it was playing on the radio in my mother’s car when we arrived at the hospital after I drove her and my sister into the city to say goodbye to my dying father. He died a few hours later.
Unbelievable. That song (Evanescence) came on the radio when I had to give up one of my dogs for being too aggressive after I had my baby. It haunted me for years. I was a complete wreck after and I can’t listen to that song now.
But, yeah…I know hate is a strong word, but the Sopranos ending was the absolute worst. I hate it even now.
