A song you loved but now hate and the reason?

[ColaWars]

Mine’s is This Woman’s Work by Kate Bush. I’m a huge fan and went to see the film She’s Having A Baby specifically because it was written for the soundtrack. It blew me away, I played it to death for years, then one day I just couldn’t stand it. I think it was a combination of overplaying it and its cliched overuse on adverts and documentaries trying to make you feel sad.

Another example is Come On Eileen. I loved Dexys, wore the stupid dungarees to see them live and danced to COE at every function and disco. Now I’d race across a room to switch it off. Again probably through being overplayed and reminding me of being 17 and in shitty relationships and friendship groups and a job I hated to boot 🤣.

All the lovers by Kylie Minogue because it used to be the first song in my running playlist.

Bohemian Rhapsody. I was about 15 when it came out, I loved it at the time but I think I just got sick of hearing it so often over the years, and it's so long! I'm a big fan of Queen, loved Freddie and can listen to and enjoy anything else they did. I just groan when I hear Is this the real life.

Oh Holy Night (the carol).

Years ago I was on a very intense medical acupuncture course. On the morning of day 2 we all had to come back and tell a joke or do something creative to demonstrate one of the acupuncture points. For some inexplicable reason I completely lost my mind and rewrote all the lyrics to Oh Holy Night about some random spot of the thigh and then sang the whole thing really loudly including the high note to a group of massively embarrassed and bewildered physios.

Never did acupuncture after completing the course so wasted a load of money whilst destroying my pride and any pleasure from a nice carol.

Op the same thing happened to me with This Women’s Work! Very recently I have started to play it again though. God I love that women.

Mine would be Fleetwood Mac Dreams. It’s a fantastic song but has been over played to death by myself and everyone else!

This is insane I can agree with every post. Even Oh Holy Night because I was assigned a verse at my choir’s Christmas concert. I’d loved it until I ruined it for myself with endlessly rehearsing it.

"Beautiful People" by Chris Brown. A banging track, but I hate it now and have to turn it off because he turned out to be a violent, abusive fuck.

Don’t go breaking my heart, Elton John and Kiki Dee. I loved it so much that I saved up my pocket money to buy it. I played it to death then one day I suddenly couldn’t stand it. I think it was about 30 years before I could listen to it again.

John Lennon , Happy Xmas (War is Over)
I was dumped by my first real boyfriend when this was at the top of the charts.
Loved it until that moment,.. now 43 years later it still makes me sad/enraged😅

Not a particular song, but a composer. Ludwig van Beethoven. I used to love his music, then I watched a documentary about him and how he destroyed his widowed sister in law's life by having her son removed from her after his father's death. He forbid them to have any contact with each other and he was abusive towards the son, who ended up shooting himself. Thankfully he didn't die.

I think Beethoven was an awful man and I can't listen to his compositions now without feeling sad and uncomfortable.

Skyfall - Adele, just too overplayed.

Fairytale of New York. Overplayed and has lost its impact.

Everything I Do I Do it for You.

I know it was always a bad song but to my teenaged self, it was so meaningful and touching. Now I listen and hear nothing but drivel with lyrics that are OTT and maudlin.
