The Inside of Outside Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 ^^^^Agree. Much of the song falls into this category for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Heartbreak Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Twenty-five years and my life is still Trying to get up that great big hill of hope For a destination Linda Perry, who wrote that song, will be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame at the organization’s 46th Annual Induction and Awards Dinner in June...along with Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter. So there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Atticus Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 yes, apparently she's written or co-written a bunch of hits and is married to Sara Gilbert. That's all great, but she also recorded the most annoying song in the history of hearing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 It's not the lyrics to that "What's Going On" song, it's the way it's sung. That makes it one of the most unbearable tune ever in my head. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Heartbreak Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I wouldn't even put it in the top ten most annoying songs. Ever heard Bad Bitch? Then again, people on this thread are slagging on The Doors, The Grateful Dead, Fleetwood Mac and Harry Chapin...which to me is inexplicable. There is a plethora of terrible stuff out there, but that ain't part of it. A few other contenders: It Ain't No Fun1-800 SuicideDead WrongDon't Phunk With My Heart Seriously, we could do this all day and never even get into the classic rock category...

Did you ever waken to the sound of street cats making love?You guess from the cries you were listening to a fight.Well you know, oh know, hate is the last thing they're thinking of.You know they're only tryin' to make it thru the night.

calvino Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 It's true: 'street cats making love' are annoying. Hell, all cats doing or making anything are annoying. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smells like flowers Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 It's not the lyrics to that "What's Going On" song, it's the way it's sung. That makes it one of the most unbearable tune ever in my head.For a few minutes I thought you were talking about the Marvin Gaye song and I couldn't comprehend how the delivery could do anything other than delight and mesmerize. But it's that HORRIBLE early 90s song that goes "heyyyy what's going on." Wouldn't be surprised if that song, played over and over, is successfully used by torturers to get people to talk.

jff Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Wrapped up like a douche* another runner in the night. *I realize he isn't singing the word douche, but it sounds like he is, so it loses points. It also loses points because, since this is a cover song, he's supposed to be singing "cut loose like a deuce" and not "wrapped up like a douche**" **See previous disclaimer.

NoJ Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 Its always been douche to me. Thank god the "whats going on" dilemma was cleared up because I didn't know what the hell lammy was thinking. For the record, I haven't any idea what song he IS talking about but at least its not the Marvin Gaye classic. And the Looks Like Rain lyrics have always killed me. Bobby, what the hell.

caliber66 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 The confusion could have been averted had *somebody* used the correct title for the 4 Non Blondes song, which is "What's Up?" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lost highway Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Also, Stevie Nicks must have never heard of heat lightning/thunder.There's no such thing. Not that it makes the lyric great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
