I need to ammend an earlier post… I commented that “Everybody Hurts” by REM is one of the worst songs… I need to retract that statement as I was starting to run out of songs that day so was reaching. It is in fact trumped by a song of the same group:
Shiny Happy People
WTF is a shiny happy person? All I know is that they’re holding hands & laughing. I’m personally afraid.
Also that post spun a few discussions with people. One in particular is with Dave. We picked the list apart & generally agree on many things. Yes, the Macrena is an annoying song. However, when truth be told, most line dancing songs are annoying… all are except: The Electric Slide.
Something about that song brings tears to our eyes… may be THAT’S a shiny happy person? They’re so happy they’re crying & their glistening cheeks reflect the sunshine off their face making them appear shiny? I don’t know… I’m still grasping.
