Songs that make you cringe or feel ill - Page 40

Remember with the Goldsboro song, that was mid-late 60s and compared to the 40s or before, the song was a hit; I was a kid but remember how big it was. Like history, when we don't adjust to the change it decades, it looks like a sappy song (it was, but had merit back then NOT now). That reflection on how time affects things is huge; for example, students today are shocked the Founding Fathers had slaves, but that economic engine was so accepted that we fought a war over it with over 700k killed. Only one Founding Father-George Mason, predicted a major calamity and he did almost 75 years before the war started. So, as with music, one has to look at the "time" element and adjust. Without a time machine, it is difficult to appraise or diminish properly.

Oh no we bloody don't Sir! you are nothing short of a revisionist.

Back in the 60's those of us even with the slightest insight of what good music was, realised that this offering was bloody awful! Yes it was a 'hit', added some credence to the expression 'shit can be a hit', on that basis this song was a bucket of dior*/dyer*/diher*....(liquid shit).

Plenty of good rock music to listen to from the 60's instead of this garbage!

*......(can't spell diarrhoea).

"In My Life" by the Beatles... but only because my wife says she wants it played at her memorial service many, many years from now. It is a pretty song, but damn, picture yourself sitting in the church as the widowed husband and hearing a song where your wife is reminiscing about all her lovers before you! Going to have to have a little chat with the missus... or die first.

I was at a graduation ceremony and the student speakers blended that Beatles song with their speech-it was stunning with words and music paused and started.
