Music Social More…

Classic old songs that are massively overplayed and clichéd that you hear one day and instead of the normal "meh" you re-hear it as if with fresh ears and think "this is amazing"

Smee [Edit] [Delete] 153 replies 13:24, 12 October '12

My Girl just came on the radio. Thought it was boring and cheesy for years, but it really just hit me again. That plucked guitar part, the drums and vocals coming in, the horn part. Goosebumps.

What other songs have done this for you recently.

Sure you can say I should have posted this on the music board, but that will of course merely confirm everyone's suspicion that you're a raving paedophile and you and Saville were thick as thieves back in the day.

          That's a lot of punctuation for a song title. Can't think of any others with a comma AND brackets.

            • When I was in LA a while back

              I woke up at like 5am in this shitty motel to jump in my car and drive north to San Francisco. As soon as I got on the freeways, just as it started getting light, (there was barely any traffic) "It's Not Unusual" came on the radio.

              Think it could've been pretty much any fucking song but it felt like the time of my life...I'd never liked that song much but I was like "yeeeeeah" and I've appreciated it ever since.

              It doesn't have a chorus. Weird.

            • Do I Love You (Indeed I Do)

              by Frank Wilson. I was never a big Northern Soul kid but I really love this. It was on the soundtrack of Cemetery Junction (most unrealistic night club scene ever) which made me realise how good it is. I do this a lot with songs: I might be indifferent to them and then hear them in a film and love them as a consequence.

                When it first came out and it was being played 3984 times a day on the radio I thought 'This is the worst thing to happen to music since Mark Chapman' but now when it comes on sporadically every few weeks it's like a smooth diamond-encrusted sword cutting through a big crusty block of cheese dirge.

              Mine was always 'Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For' by U2. Then again I don't always hear that song, but because I hate U2 I never try and listen to them or it. But when you rarely hear it, WOAH.

                many of them are excellent, it's just a shame Bono sings them. When you hear a good cover version you realise how well crafted they are: good example is Keane doing With Or Without You

              like no seriously there's something in it which really CONNECTS with people, listen to the little drum bit, and the lyrics, don't you see how clever that metaphor is?

              It's probably quite annoying to those around me.

              But in one of these drunken reveries I once discerned Carly Simon's You're So Vain to be a genuine and indisputable masterpiece.

              but I got this with Streets Have No Name a month or two ago. It's so cliche these days, it almost doesn't mean anythign but I watched a documentary about making it and all the problems they had and how Brian Eno tried to delete it and got into a fight and how when the Edge came up with it he was jumping around his house in joy.

              It all makes for an amazing story. Then you actually here the finished article and it's like "wow" and for a moment you forget everything shit that you associate with it.

              'You Got It' and 'I Drove All Night' from the late 80s/early 90s were big hits, but also big turn-offs for me at the time. Then a couple of years ago it went from being "gah, that ol' crooner again", to "woah, this guy is a definite cut above".

            • Quite a lot of Led Zeppelin

              They've been part of the cultural wallpaper for so long that they become remote and routine. Then one day you hear Black Dog playing on a good stereo and suddenly realise: fucking hell, this was a BAND. And they played like THIS. It's quite amazing.

              Not Stairway To Heaven, though. That song will never fail to make me cringe.

                  I wouldn't consider heal the world or earth song or childhood one of these for the pure fact that unless you listen to magic or local radio you wouldn't hear them. I do agree with you, some of the saccharine stuff does leave sugar oozing from your pores

            • Just about anything by Abba

              I went to Manchester Uni between 1991 and 1995 - I don't know how things are now, but then students were OBSESSED with Abba. We didn't have 70s nights, we had Abba nights. Even if you went to a night that wasn't specifically about Abba, Abba came on... time and time again. I came to absolutely loathe them.

              But you look at their stuff now and firstly, a lot of it is really really odd. Like properly strange. "Money Money Money" is MENTAL. There has been nothing like it before or since, and a lot of it borders on genius.

                Except I was at Newcastle 91-96. Watched main club night change from one naked in honour of New Order to chintz alcopop shite - and ABBA was the soundtrack.

                But Dancing Queen... holy crap. The scale, the swells, the emotional tugs. I want Kevin Shields to remaster it and then music will be complete.

                Other than How Soon Is Now soundtracking Charmed, this is the best-known Smiths song, and the one that teenage rock cover-bands tend to dish out even if they've heard little else from the Smiths.

                Just stuck it on now. It really is awesome. Not their best, but awesome.

                Was NOT a fan at all at school. I was into Iron Maiden, Scorpions, etc. Obviously your tastes change over time and when she released Ray Of Light, my opinion of her changed. I loved Frozen and the title track. Listening to the early Madonna songs now, I can appreciate most of her early work. Like A Virgin, Borderline, Papa Don't Preach are all excellent pop songs.
