Diary by Bread is pretty whiny, but that was the times. There was also a song about giving your love a cherry or something.

I found her diary underneath a tree.
and started reading about me.
The words began stick and tears to flow.
Her meaning now was clear to see.
The love she'd waited for was someone else not me
Wouldn't you know it, she wouldn't show it.


Why the fuck was her diary underneath a tree? Was she homeless? Is the image supposed to invoke a fairyland where people floated around and wrote diaries in tree-dotted meadows, with butterflies and rainbows, where happy little bunnies hopped around bringing ribbons of gold?

They were going to call it "She's just not that into you" but they weren't sure that had lasting value, like diaries under trees.

He found her diary under a tree when it fell out of her pocket while he was dragging her into the grave he just dug. You need to listen to all the lyrics.

And then there she is saying "I learned the truth at seventeen ..." so obviously she's older now and she still doesn't get that at 17 you know NUFFINK and think you know it all and wah wah wah. O h m y G A W D, I wish, how I wish I'd not been prompted to remember that song. Cheeeeeeeeeeeezuss. H. Christ.
Thanks guys.

OMG I'm laughing so hard right now. That is a close friend's most loathed songs ever, btw. She'd be laughing her butt off, too, if she read this post. I may have to send it to her!

Okay, treading on the toes of many British brides and grooms here (they are common first dance songs):

Whiney [sic] Houston's I Will Always Love You - argh! Give my Dolly Parton every day.


The Righteous Brothers' Unchained Melody - droney rather than whiney but it needs to be chained up! I even prefer The Goons' version!


Bryan Adams' Everything I Do - again more droney than whiny but I usually have a decent tolerance for the Canuck moptop. This was just so tedious I was hoping Middle of the Road would become roadkill.

Bwahahahahaha! If Jill hadn't instructed me to read all the way through before posting, I would've posted that song!

Send away. My humor is meant for the masses, beyond the Cellar. I'm waiting to be discovered. ;)

Bwahahaha! If I hadn't been instructed to read the entire thread before posting, I would have posted the same song as infinite monkey. Jill is right that I hate that song! She knows me too well.

Agreed, Sundae, Dolly over Whitney anyday. I like whitney myself, but it's a little like don mclean instead of roy orbison doing Crying. I mean, come on, it's roy orbison! :)

Michael Jackson's Heal the World.

Hey there Grace *waves at Grace* Nice to meetcha.

Can I just put forward another entry: this time it's not that it's the whiniest song, so much as the creepiest song. 'Every Breath You Take' by The Police. Stalky song.

Sundae 04-28-2011 11:30 AM
But that's why I love it! Because it is an obsessive stalker song, and intended to be.
I was gutted when it was turned into the "I'll Be Missing You" saccharine bleurgh.
From the sinister to the tooth-decay.

But Sting apparently LIKED it?!
I think he was scared if he said otherwise, faux ganstas would shoot up his house while he was having tantric sex.
The cowardly Geordie shite.

Bri is still in the lead with Seasons in the Sun, and post #2 BTW.

Who died and left you in charge of the sappiest song? Have you not HEARD that Bruno Mars travesty?

:lol:

FIELD OF 64?
