John Mayor's song "Say what you need to say" is, for me, the most irritating song I have heard in years. Jesus Christ bananas John couldn't you come up with another line?
The chorus is the line "Say what you need to say" repeated 8 times. In less than 4 minutes he says "say what you need to say" 28 times. Twenty-eight times.
It's like a small child following their mother into the kitchen
"Mom...can I have a cookie, can I have a cookie? can I have a cookie, can I have a cookie...repeat until....
*SMACK* back hand to the head "NO"
Someone should smack John Mayor....
fuck a duck, it reminds me of the time I counted how many times Lauren Hill said the word YO on her album the Mis education of Lauren Hill...83 times. But that is just a word...over an entire album. This is a whole phrase in just 4 minutes.
I have to go twitch for a while now

Re: say what you need to say.....ok I will
Tue, May 13, 2008 - 8:10 AMYou that seems to be the thing to do these days... repeat lines in a song to an annoying point. There's some other chick that does that. I don't remember her name because it's not really my kind of music but she's s newcomer I guess.
And then there was that guy who kept saying 'sorry' in his song. Does anyone rememebr that. For crying out loud we get it!

Tue, May 13, 2008 - 12:03 PMI THINK the sorry song was that American Idol guy Ruben Studard..I seem to recall him getting blasted by the critics for repeating sorry over and over again.

Re: say what you need to say.....ok I will
Tue, May 13, 2008 - 1:07 PMThere's another song - by a Ben Whatsisname - where the chorus is
"I always have to steal my kisses from you
I always have to steal my kisses from you
I always have to steal my kisses from you
I always have to steal my kisses from you"
I think the song is called I Always Have To Steal My Kisses From You.
There should be a rule that states that you can't have chorus that consists of the same line repeated four times. -

Tue, May 13, 2008 - 1:54 PMGeorge Harrison:
"I got my mind set on you
I got my mind set on you
I got my mind set on you
I got my mind set on you"
from "Got My Mind Set On You"
My friends and I used to sing an alternate version of this that went:
"This song is just six words long.
This song is just six words long.
This song is just six words long.
This song is just six words long."
Yes, I realize that is seven words. -

Tue, May 13, 2008 - 2:15 PMAhh yes the Weird Al version....though, maybe it's just me, but it wasn't as irritating when George did it. Though that was just a cover, Harrison did not write it. -

Re: say what you need to say.....ok I will
Tue, May 13, 2008 - 3:57 PMOr what about that song "Ooh child, things are gonna get easier - ohh child things'll get brighter..." That song has just 2 parts that flip-flop back and forth, over and over, ad nauseum. Not even a bridge! I could never understand why people like that song so much. Booooooooriiiiing

CORRECTION
Fri, May 23, 2008 - 11:43 AM41 times....John Mayor says "Say What You Need to Say" forty one fucking times in the song.
Are you kidding me? And they play the song at least 6 times during a working day. That is 246 times a day I hear this dipshit say "say what you need to say".
LAZY SONG WRITING! BAD RADIO STATION!
this is why I stopped listening to the radio and top 40 music. It's all shit!
I can hear the conversation a couple years ago..."Hey John, you just had a big hit...what are you going to do now?
"I'm going to shit in a bucket, then laugh all the way to the bank while corperate america radio spoon feeds it down your throat" -

Re: CORRECTION
Fri, May 23, 2008 - 11:51 AMYou need an antidote:
"When the going gets tough and the stomach acids flow
And the cold wind of conformity is nipping at your nose
And some trendy new atrocity has brought you to your knees...
Come with us, we'll sail the Seas of Cheese!"

Re: say what you need to say.....ok I will
Tue, June 10, 2008 - 11:08 AMWell...what else am I supposed to do when the radio plays the same damn thing over and over and over. It's like a prisoner being locked in a cell...eventually he's going to count his ceiling tiles, then divets on the floor...
I'm a prisoner of the radio and this damn song. *quivers* -

Re: say what you need to say.....ok I will
Tue, June 10, 2008 - 12:16 PMI prefer not to listen to the radio...but, I work in an open air office. So it's a majority type vote thingy. Outside of the music, I love love my job. And, we do have some fun making fun of the radio. I even got the whole department to listen to the Seadogs once. but....I guess i don't work with pirates.
