Slice my ears off. Or find an empty pool and throw myself head first into the shallow-ow-ow end. FFS 😡😡😡

Hear hear!

Lamkin · 07/03/2019 16:13

I hated it the very first time I heard it.
Now I want to rip my ears off every time I get in the car or go shopping.
Make it stoooppp!

FurrySlipperBoots · 07/03/2019 16:15

Hmmm? I'm confused! What do you mean?

madmother1 · 07/03/2019 16:17

I've only just realised it's "shallow"! My DD caught me singing "In the shadows" 😂 and corrected me. It's a lovely song, but overplayed.

HelmutFrontbut · 07/03/2019 16:21

Furry I wish I were you Grin It's a track from the film A Star Is Born, written and performed by Lady Gaga (I like her) with co star Bradley Cooper. It won an Oscar, basically a load of wailing.

It's just came on Smooth radio 😩 bloody work won't let us turn it over!

GunpowderGelatine · 07/03/2019 16:36

Yes it's awful isn't it! Why does Lady Gaga scream? Is she in pain? Can't believe it won an Oscar, and Mary Poppins songs were snubbed!

FurrySlipperBoots · 07/03/2019 16:52

Ohhhhhhhhhh, a SONG! Duh! I live alone in a cave so I've not heard it yet!

HelmutFrontbut · 07/03/2019 16:57

I think Gaga has lupus or fibromyalgia so maybe she is in pain? 🤔

I thought someone was calling you shallow Blush

But I don’t listen to the radio so I don’t get this torture

I didn't like the film at all, but I thought 'Shallow' was one of the better songs. The one that makes me want to pull my ears off is Lady Gaga's cover of 'La vie en rose', because it's not just that her French accent is bad, it's that she's singing entirely different words.

The first line should go 'Des yeux qui font baisser les miens/Un rire qui se perd sur sa bouche' ('Eyes that make mine look down/A laugh that loses itself on his mouth') but what she's actually singing is 'Eyes that fuck mine/A laugh that loses itself on his cuddly toy'. Grin

Starch · 07/03/2019 17:39

Shallow is shite.

I do usually like Lady Gaga, but it's like this one was written intentionally to go over the

'SHE WAS A BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH, HE WAS A BLAH BLAH...' voiceover man.

And Bradley's reedy little voice sha ha ha-ing in the background makes me want to kick something. Something like his face.

GandolfBold · 07/03/2019 17:42

I hate it too, and its on all the time. We have Heart on at work and it seems to be on at least once an hour.

Along with that god awful Freya Ridings song, which I loved at first but has been played to death.

Unguent · 07/03/2019 17:43

It's better than that poppy one from later in the film that has lyrics about why some guy looks so good in those jeans and why does he come around her with an ass like that, and it's making her thoughts obscene.

It makes me imagine Bradley Cooper cavorting in backless chaps. Urgh.

Soubriquet · 07/03/2019 17:58

I thank you for your kindness....but hell no GrinGrinGrin

StephsCaddy · 07/03/2019 18:02

The film was a pile of shite. Never been so bored.

Wendywoo1000 · 07/03/2019 18:04

Its a boring repetitive song 🔫

shins · 08/03/2019 23:37

ARGH. My dear mum complained about the song being stuck in her head the very day she died in January, so it has an added "no!" factor for me. 😢

The film is terrible. Why would a fine spirited young woman be trailing round after a drooling self pitying old drunk like that? Just the male fantasy of it irritated me.

LookImAHooman · 08/03/2019 23:49

I feel this way about the fucking hateful patronising twatty ‘refreshing’ Barclays mortgages ads being overplayed on Absolute atm. Even more so than the Plusnet ones. I am going to cause physical harm to my car stereo if I catch many more of them soon.

Apologies for the derail but I’ve had that festering for days. OP has my sympathy.

LookImAHooman · 08/03/2019 23:50

Flowers for shins. That’s awful. Gin

Whywonttheyletmeusemyusername · 08/03/2019 23:53

YES....omg....hate hate HATE it. And to anybody that listens to Heart...they seriously need to update their playlist...or is it just me?

Foslady · 09/03/2019 01:01

My happiest day at work was when I moved offices and got rid of Heart FM and their tiny playlist. Rita Ora and P!nk 12 times in 8 hours????
