To hate Sweet Caroline

It used to be a good song but it's been so overplayed it's become unbearable. And with the extra "So Good" x 3 that seems to have become an official part of the lyrics over the years makes me want to tear my ears off.

It's dreadful

ChaToilLeam · 06/07/2024 15:43

Only bearable at the end of an evening when everyone is deeply inebriated.

Hateam · 06/07/2024 15:44

God I love this song!

Everybody; Sweet Caroline...

Tinkerbot · 06/07/2024 15:45

Always thought it was naff even when it first came out

flapjackfairy · 06/07/2024 15:46

me too ! I hate it. Along with Come on Eileen ! And I would walk 500 miles !
Basically anything that is sung as a drunken anthem !

NeiIDiamond · 06/07/2024 15:46

Personally I love it.

Gingerbread981 · 06/07/2024 15:46

Me too. Hate it!

Isthatascratchonmygrandmother · 06/07/2024 15:48

YABU it's practically the national anthem.

PleaseStopEatingMyStuff · 06/07/2024 15:48

Hate it.
And that Eileen one.

Love the song, reminds me of my mum and dad playing their Neil Diamond albums.

The England team ruined it, although I have ruined it a few times at karaoke over the years too 😂

I have been muting the TV when it is played.

Ditto. Absolutely hate sing along anthems with a passion.

Never liked SC many years before it started being blasted out as a sporting anthem.

Buh Buh Buh

BatshitCrazyWoman · 06/07/2024 15:49

Never liked it. Awful song.

tuvamoodyson · 06/07/2024 15:50

That’s when I hate it the most…

TheChosenTwo · 06/07/2024 15:50

How often are you all hearing this song?! I don’t think I’ve heard it in a long time 😂
has it had a resurgence?

Squiggles23 · 06/07/2024 15:51

I do love it but it does make me sad thinking of Caroline Flack.

They kept playing it on the radio after she died. I can never hear it without thinking of her.

Definitely a song for a drink sing along though.

Greaterorlesser · 06/07/2024 15:52

I hate it with a passion. It reminds me of being in bed with pneumonia when my mum had just died and my builders singing along to it downstairs

YANBU

Its a nice song, but its been terribly over used

MartyFunkhouser · 06/07/2024 15:58

Me too! I absolutely hate it. And anyone doing the ‘so good, so good’ bollocks can fuck right off.

Karatema · 06/07/2024 15:58

I prefer Status Quo's Caroline

Didimum · 06/07/2024 16:00

I dislike it too now, but didn’t mind it previously. There was absolutely nothing wrong with Three Lions.

brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr · 06/07/2024 16:01

Football dunce grave-tier shite

LakeTiticaca · 06/07/2024 16:05

Sweet Caroline was supposedly written about Caroline Kennedy who was about 12 at the time, which I find a bit.....errm inappropriate
3 Lions is miles better and much more football anthemy!!
