The #ThursdayFiveList (from npub1rz5hr8u4j3cszyycjxegaf4ld8jr34nmjk5fwcp89tmrsexalkesza4cv7 (npub1rz5…4cv7) via npub13xqzsdn5nsfyddfzl8fqlsxz06lklt75n2g756pw7ka0fkkd756qx04vca (npub13xq…4vca)) is #TheHatedHit.
This theme is for songs that are famed much-loved classics that you've absolutely had enough of. I'm tempted to say 'the entire Beatles canon', but I'll pick five songs like I'm supposed to.
And yes, I know it's very easy and predictable to hate on the Beatles, but that's not what I'm doing here. There are lots of very popular bands that I've never liked at all, like Pink Floyd, Oasis, Steely Dan, and so on. But I liked the Beatles, I really did, until I got absolutely sick of not just the Beatles but the endless shit that goes around them. I hear there's going to be four Beatles biopics coming. A Ringo Starr biopic?!? Nobody has ever wanted or needed that. Yeesh. Sick of this shit.
So, here, four Beatles songs that particularly get on my wick, plus one very obvious and inexplicably popular Beatles-adjacent monstrosity. You're not getting any links because you already know these songs off by heart.
The Beatles - Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da (If this was by literally anybody else it would shunned in polite society)
The Beatles - The Long and Winding Road (there's an appalling scene in the film Yesterday which really turned me against this one)
The Beatles - Taxman (seriously, you actually wrote those words? ffs George get a grip)
The Beatles - Yellow Submarine (not blaming the Beatles specifically for this, it's just the most grotesquely ill-used song in history)
John Lennon - Imagine (fuck off and keep fucking off until you've reached the very outer limits of fuck off and then fuck off a bit more)
