Songs that drag on and on (and on)...
 
Or ‘Repeat to fade’...

Are there any songs which absolutely drive you up the wall with their repetitiveness?
Songs that spring to mind are Destiny’s Child’s “Single Ladies”, “So Lonely” from The Police and just about everything by Rihanna: “Ra ra ra ra”, anybody?...)

This is not some old school rant. I adore The Beatles but their classic “Hey Jude” certainly drags on twice as long as it really should. Similarly Lennon’s “Give Peace A Chance”, a placard-waving campfire chant of the highest order.

Any more out there?

Naaa naaa na nanananaa. Nanananaa Hey Jude.

They're still playing the original version.

All of Fatboy Slim's hits.

I won't lie. I enjoy how this song drags on... Back in Cali, I'd be playing music and driving my husband and his video-gaming friends nuts. Finally he would say "one more song, then turn that **** off"... K babe, no prob ;)

You think Hey Jude drags on too long but many of your own songs don't?

I don't see where I mentioned the second part. You need new glasses.

Sorry, I just assumed you thought your songs were of an appropriate length/repetitiveness

Frownland 02-19-2016 01:19 PM

You better be.

Stairway to Heaven. Doesn't warrant the length. Structurally uninteresting.

You think that Talk Talk is structurally uninteresting but you think that Chvrches has a nice vocalist? Is that what you're saying here?

Talk Talk is about as boring as it gets. And yes, I adore Lauren Mayberry

Oh okay, so what you're saying is that Kanye ISN'T boring? Is that what you're trying to say here?

Goofle 02-19-2016 02:08 PM

Alvvays > Chvrches btw.

I don't agree obviously but I have no real qualms with this

So what you posted is explicitly what you meant? Interesting.
