Pussycat Dolls - "Don't cha"
You know.. there are some songs so universal, magical and timeless, that the first time you ever hear them, you feel like you've already heard them before.. like they were already a part of you, even before your first encounter.
Apparently the same goes for incredibly bad music as well.
I first heard this track while on the treadmill at the gym. My brain was busy trying to keep me running, so the only thought that flashed through was something along the lines of "Oh, that stupid song again. Man that song is retarded".
It wasn't until a couple of days later when I saw the terrible terrible video on much music that I realized "Hey... this is a new song!" Followed by the considerably more disturbing thought: "I'm probably going to be hearing this a lot over the next couple of months."
Right now it's clawing at the edges of my subconscious.. I haven't quite heard it enough times for it to have fully burrowed inside and laid eggs, but a few more chance encounters and I'm done for.
Please. Please stop playing it. Maybe if we all will it hard enough, it will get retracted off the radio and television. If not, it's going to be stuck in my head soon, and I will be forced to claw out my eyes.
I like my eyes. I use them all the time. Please, God, MAKE IT STOP.
