Small things that RUIN otherwise good songs

[ZenGiraffe]

The only thing I can hear in Fight For This Love is that BLOODY WOODPECKER that's there for the entire song. I despise it.

 

[AGinAg (38)]

Dreamer by Livin Joy rhymes love with love.

 

[ButterTart]

Still Young doesn’t have a key change at the part which is absolutely tailor made for a key change

 

[jyxz]

Dreamer by Livin Joy rhymes love with love.

Same with 'Light my fire'

 

[Ellie]

Endorphinmachine by Prince.

Once you clock the cowbell going on throughout, you can’t unhear it.

 

[jyxz]

Same with 'Light my fire'

Obviously the Amii Stewart version is the one I listen to

 

[Iguana]

The fart noises at the beginning and the high pitched sustained note all the way through the chorus always annoyed me.

 

[VoR]

I've mentioned it before but the fucking triangle...

 

[Kratz]

I've mentioned it before but the fucking triangle...

I knew you were going to post this! Once you have heard it the song is done.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

I said this in the song's thread, but if it is 11:59 then you're on the edge of a Saturday MORNING, Kylie.

There's a percussion noise in Kevin Carter by Manic Street Preachers at the start of every line in the first two verses. Someone pointed out that it sounded like a burp and ruined, fucking ruined.

 

[dmlaw]

Shape of You by Ed Sheeran is entirely ruined by the fact that it is written and performed by Ed Sheeran.

 

[Sheena]

The French in Madonna's Love Song:

1. She says "Je suis prets", when it should be "Je suis prête".
2. She then says "Vous êtes prets aussi?", which firstly is pronounced badly, but secondly (and arguably) she is addressing Prince as "vous" when she's about to fuck him, which is tonally appalling.
3. Most annoyingly, later on, she says "pour le dernier fois", when it should be "la dernière fois".

STUPID FRENCH BITCH

 

[VV]

'Home' on Cher's Christmas album, as it has Michael Buble on it!

 

[GNL]

Shape of You by Ed Sheeran is entirely ruined by the fact that it is written and performed by Ed Sheeran.

That's a double.

STUPID FRENCH BITCH

 

[Sheena]

Prince: bon jour

Madonna:

Whereas for gays of a certain age:



JE SUIS SMANFA
OUI OUI

 

[disneyteletubby]

Just before it starts, and towards the end of this where she says 'high' funny

 

[ZenGiraffe]

In the dance break of Esa Diva, it sounds like someone drops a microphone.

Except it is also in the studio version

Well Natalia Gordienko is an inspiration to us all !

 

[Cloud]

*a few 'ours layter*
....yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

 

[straightorbroken]

Losing You by Solange. It's a whole other dimension of subdued rnb fantasia, but I'd love a version without the sample wwwaaaaaahhhh bit.

 

[dUb]

Mariah pronouncing Moët as 'Mo-ay' in The Roof.

 

[KC 🦋]

The stupid not at the bbeginning of "The Boy is Mine"

 

[VoR]

Karen Carpenter audibly licking her lips after almost every line of Close To You.

 

[Finn]

I guess she was hungry

 

[AGinAg (38)]

I guess she was hungry

Too soon

 

[jyxz]

‘Solitaire’ suffers from the same saliva smacking issue

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Charli XCX - Party 4 U is doing the rounds on TikTok, and it was previously a highlight from HIFN.

However I've now clocked that she rhymes water with water and now I can never listen to it again

 

[VoR]

I have a similar problem with Lutricia McNeal's Stranded, which was in many ways the Party 4 U of the late 90s.

Lovely powerballad with great verses and chorus... almost ruined by the laziest middle eight I've ever heard.

I know I'll see you again some day
I'll be waitin' for that day all my life (all my life)
I know that things will be the same again
I know some day I will see you again....

The HORRID fake laugh at the end of ‘Big yellow taxi’ by Joni Mitchell

I know that things will be the same again

Reminds me of the opening verse in Wasting My Time by the SG sung by Emma, which has always irked me, but English is not my mother tongue, so I guess there's nothing wrong?

Baby who was the one that treated you so bad that you
Felt that you had to do me what she had done to you
Now you prove everything that my friends had told me about you
Was true, now it's over and we're through
