I love Journey. But for some reason I hated, “Don’t Stop Believin” and I could not understand why I loathed that song until I recently rewatched The Sopranos for the second time after 16 years and the final episode had that song playing until the “blackout.” And now I know why…
Anyone else had a similar experience with a popular song that you couldn’t explain why it rubbed you the wrong way?
The reason I hate Don’t Stop Believing is because I sang it in choir, and my part was literally “dut dut dut dut dut dut dut dut…” for the whole fucking song. The same note the whole time, except every fourth measure we would go down a half step, then back up to the first not again for 3 measures.
My tounge would go numb by the end of the first verse.
