in disliking the "John Lewis-ing' of otherwise good songs

[BrendaandEddie]

I am not interested in Xmas adverts AT ALL, but I hate the breathy slow boring rendition of songs ( also in the x factor) which IMO generally ruins the original

oh for fucks sake. I posted before I saw your link. And then I clicked on it.

yours is TERRIBLY BRILLIANT

well done!

And then I clicked in sparklingbrook's one and I exploded in a fit of aploplexy.
You are all evil.

NEW ENTRY

this is horrific - even the cat got up and moved away

YANBU. I hate that shit.

how is this? borderline new entry

YANBU. Hate the cover in the JL ad and the links on here are criminal (despite not being a massive fan of the originals they are just awful )

Did the New Radicals ruin their own song How odd.

I'm now wondering if I can find a simpering version of something like YMCA!

Stop now. You sick feckers.

Oh is it just me playing?

oh is that still them Dolly? I dind t notice I AM OBSESSED

YMCA! I've just spat tea over myself

Whyyyyyyy, Emmmmmm........Seee......Aaaay

Ugh. Hate all the breathy whispery shite.

Worse is when they're so breathy they can't even be bothered to form the words properly. I give you "Wherever You Will Go" - or, if sung by Charlene Soraya "Rare-wevver You Will Go". Featuring the word "tree" pronounced as "jee" and "stone" pronounced "zone" because well I don't know why but it used to make me SEETHE.

I WIN I WIN I WIN

THAT IS ALL

dusts hands

Hate it hate it hate it. Come on messrs N and L Gallagher, in no way are you that skint that you have to sacrifice a wonderful song to be sung in the club style.

I will forever hate Joss Stone for murdering 'Fell In Love With A Girl' by my beloved White Stripes......like you don't have enough money Jack.

ah he does a lot of them
this ticks all the boxes

Still here but getting a bit sidetracked on YouTube

YANBU at all!

I find the use of really good music in really shit crap rubbish pointless exploitative etc adverts very very very annoying! can you tell

In fact, I also feel very very quite irritated when really good songs, masterpieces if you like, being used for tv programmes, and are chopped up and used in snippets. I get that it's to evoke a mood, but it feels lazy and disrespectful (!!!) to the songs / song writers / musicians.

For instance, I love Nigella Lawson, and I love her food programmes. BUT her latest on heavily features short bursts of some of the finest songs ever, (imho), just thrown her and there at random, words cut off, and I get quite annoyed about that. Don't tell the Bride is another serial offender at this.

Does this annoy anyone else?

(I think I know I AM being unreasonable here though, so maybe on my own! In a corner, in silence...)

i started watching pretty little liars, this does it a lot

Anyone have a teaspoon I can gouge my eyeballs out with? I'm almost impressed with simpering Mr Mulholland.

Those last two are brilliant Brenda. It's one thing to ruin a brilliant song but to take a song that wasn't great to start with and think acoustic stylings will improve it

I implore you to find something by the village people... Or by black lace!

BUT I HAVE TO COOK TEA AND MARK ASSESSMENTS

tiny voice

you do it!

Ooh Rocky anyone?

Found one!

(I don't know if this link will work, I've never done this in here before)

It's a regular Facebook rant of mine UANBU.

The Chanel advert makes me throw things
