I really hate it when people ruin songs for me.
For example, you hear a song on the radio and you're thinking "Hey, that song isn't too bad!" and then you hear it again and you're like "Oh, I really like this song!" and then you hear it again and you're like "Okay, enough now". But every time you get into the car and switch on the radio, THERE IT IS AGAIN.
Then, it starts following you around. You go into the shopping centre, and that song is quietly playing in the background somewhere. You catch a glimpse of someones iPod screen on the bus, and they're listening to the song. Your neighbour has a loud party and plays that song over and over again, and even while you're trying to get to sleep, that song loops over in your head.
And something that was once a good song now makes you cringe and quietly leave the room every time it is played.
Sometimes, if I find a song that I really really like, I purposely don't put it on my iPod for fear that it will start to annoy me if I listen to it too often.
This guy at my work ruined the song Psycho Killer by Talking Heads for me. We were having a conversation about post-punk, and Talking Heads came up. I mentioned the song Psycho Killer, and he immediately started singing the song. And lets just say it sounded nothing at all like the original.
So now everytime I walk past his desk, he starts humming the song at me. I've actually had to plan an alternative route to my desk so I don't have to hear that song anymore.
It's a shame, really. I quite liked that Shake It song by Metro Station the first 80 times I heard it.

Ha ha I know exactly what you mean! Unfortunately I'm not strong enough to not play the song over and over!! I will put it in my morning playlist and listen to iit over and over! Ha ha I have to admit I've been pretty good about it lately, because now I listen to Céline Dion all the time so those new songs I like don't get played as often!! I never get tired of Céline Dion!!
