Is it possible to be allergic to music? There are several songs on the radio whose opening notes get my fingers reaching for another channel. These songs have always existed, really, and for various reasons. Some were decent songs that were overplayed the day after they came out (and might be played on four different radio stations, so there's always the chance that they could be heard at any given moment). Others are just plain annoying. Here are some of my music allergies.
1. "Some Nights" by fun.
Some nights I think you couldn't find a more melodramatic band.
2. "Ho Hey" by The Lumineers
Ho! Hey! Another song that's overplayed but worms your way into your brain until you're singing it even when it's not on the radio. After hearing it several hundred times, the "ho! hey!" part is like a jab in the eardrum with a sharp q-tip.
3. "I Knew You Were Trouble" by Taylor Swift
Another insanely catchy song, my "trouble" is with her "trouble". I don't really have too much of a problem with the rest of the song, but the way she says the word trouble sounds bratty and petulant instead of heartbroken. I do, however, love the YouTube "goat screaming" version of this song.
4. "Don't You Worry Child" by Swedish House Mafia
I'm not worried. I just wish the chorus didn't sound like it was yelling at me.
5. "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)
I don't normally find P!nk to be shrill, but when she's had a __________ day and I've had a _________ day, I just want to change the channel.
