I once worked a 12 hour shift at a MarketPro computer show booth where, I shit you not, the booth next to us was selling computer speakers and the guy running it let his child play Around The World on repeat all day.
No other songs
No break
No reprieve
Just almost 12 straight hours of Around The World.
I loved that song, but to this day I can't tolerate hearing it without triggering something akin to PTSD
Anyone who hasn't heard the live version of this from Alive 2007, go bless your ears and heart with it right now. Absolutely one of the greatest live albums ever made.
As someone into lyrics and complex songs, that song bored me to tears. The repetitiveness is a right turn off for me. Even a monkey can be learned to copy and paste, but the real musical talent is in transitioning into new melodies.
It is the same as with the "Push me, and then just touch me" song.
I can't listen to either of them without getting irritated to how little effort was put in them.

No argument here. As annoying I found it, kid was still an absolute legend

Oh my friend, if you think that version has not been sent to me many many times since this story happened, you are sorely mistaken.

Brilliant song indeed, but where’s the praise for Michel Gondry’s iconic videoclip?

Wasnt even robotic, just a synth on top of human voice.
bstix@feddit.dk · 22 pts · 2y
They used a talkbox, so technically it's the voice modulating the synth carrier.

Thanks, now I have it stuck in my head (though it's not a bad track, so I'll take it lol)

The amount of "I don't listen to 'pop genre' music" energy coming from this comment is so unreal that I have to assume this is deliberate troling.
