Oh good one!

I like Cher. I think she was wonderful in some of her movies: Moonstruck, Silkwood, Mask...but if she never opened her mouth to sing another song I wouldn't miss it.

She sounds like when you have to clear your throat 'cause there's like a bubble in it: like Kermit the Frog on voice lessons.

Really? Isn't that one where she's on the ship with the huge phallic symbol? lol

I never thought of that one as whiney. Probably because it's up tempo.

DanaC · 04-26-2011, 07:45 PM

Oh it's horrible. And so whiny.

Here look:

Quote:

If I could turn back time
If I could find a way I'd take back those words that hurt you and you'd stay

I don't know why I did the things I did I don't know why I said the things I said
Pride's like a knife it can cut deep inside
Words are like weapons they wound sometimes.

I didn't really mean to hurt you I didn't wanna see you go I know I made you cry, but baby

[Chorus:]
If I could turn back time
If I could find a way
I'd take back those words that hurt you
And you'd stay
If I could reach the stars
I'd give them all to you
Then you'd love me, love me
Like you used to do

If I could turn back time

My world was shattered I was torn apart
Like someone took a knife and drove it deep in my heart
You walked out that door I swore that I didn't care
But I lost everything darling then and there

Too strong to tell you I was sorry
Too proud to tell you I was wrong
I know that I was blind, and ooh...

[Chorus]

Ooohh

If I could turn back time
If I could turn back time
If I could turn back time
ooh baby

I didn't really mean to hurt you
I didn't want to see you go
I know I made you cry
Ooohh

[Chorus #2]
If I could turn back time
If I could find a way
I'd take back those words that hurt you
If I could reach the stars
I'd give them all to you
Then you'd love me, love me
Like you used to do

If I could turn back time (turn back time)
If I could find a way (find a way)
Then baby, maybe, maybe
You'd stay

[to fade]
Reach the stars
If I could reach the stars

So whiny. So, so whiny.

Oh yeah, the lyrics are pretty sad. I knew that. lol

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.

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.

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.

infinite monkey · 04-28-2011, 11:37 AM

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

FIELD OF 64?

I just rediscovered Seasons in the Sun a few weeks ago. I actually put it on the iPod. It really took me back to my early childhood. It occupies the same pigeon hole in my brain as Billy Don't Be a Hero.

Undertoad · 04-28-2011, 11:58 AM

Yeah yeah, for me Billy Don't Be a Hero shares that space with The Night Chicago Died.
