What tune is stuck in your head right now?

I don't remember ever being seriously annoyed by a song stuck in my head. So maybe I've always kind of liked the songs stuck in my head, or at least not hated them. In fact, there is music I dislike, most usually because I find it boring, but I'm not sure I've yet come across any that I really, really can't stand hearing.

I used to intensely dislike a lot of songs and artists, but with age my tastes have widened a lot, so much so that there aren't many songs I would say I "hate". But some definitely rub me the wrong way, especially if I sense laziness or insincerity. But the songs I absolutely don't care for are much more common.

But I don't have a particular issue with saying I hate this song, for instance, and it may be the one I hate the most:



I file it in the "lazy and badly executed" category. He has a terrible sense of rhythm, for one thing, which is particularly serious when you're a rapper.

I didn't know it; sad yes, but pretty good.

Which I guess has always been the largest category in most domains.

But the lyrics. They're not just bad: they're the collection of random thoughts that went through his mind on a particular day. Neither the form nor the substance is compelling, and while individual sentences or groups of sentences might hold meaning, the whole is incoherent, the brain crumbs left behind by a mad man in his pointless journey.

And many other things, but I'll resist the temptation to write an essay.

The chorus, while badly executed, kinda works.

Give us names! I may start a Favorite Songs thread at one point, but bad songs are interesting too.

This one is pretty boring:



Also, the lyrics... *cringe*

For my part I much prefer good lyrics, of course, but sometimes the tune is so good that I can kind of overlook the flaws in the lyrics (though I still think "if only...").

I like words. I like them to mean something. I know that often they don't, in songs or in real life. Still, hope blooms eternal. 

The first Wagner anything that I liked was the Wesendonck Lieder. I vividly remember that it was the selection of a particular radio programme, and I was up a ladder, so didn't immediately turn it off.

The songs were good. But the lyrics? I knew that Wagner was proud of writing his own libretti, but frankly they were crap. So who was this unknown German poet whose words he was setting to music? Which were really crap squared, or maybe cubed.

Oh, OK, that explains it.
