Believe me, I'm not asserting that anyone else should despise it. Not everyone was around when this song was released and heard it as many times as I did.Dennis and Nick,
"Most despised of all songs?" Maybe by you two!!

Thank you all so very much for bestowing upon me this great honor. :laugh:
"You like me, you really like me!"
Seriously though, I am literally laughing at these posts, I think the modern phrase is LMFAO, I love this place! You guys are the greatest. Dennis, I am humbled and honored. I actually do hear where you're coming from, I was only 2 years old when it came out but remember it playing constantly well into my childhood, had I been a bit older, I'm sure I'd feel the way you do. I think we've all experienced this feeling in more recent times as well.
I'm very appreciative of the tips and pointers too, I haven't re-visited this song in a while but plan to take those arpeggio tips into practice, and the vocals too. I probably won't re-post though, as I just can't bear to subject Dennis to this song for the 13,427th time.

Although I do like this song (I was very young when this song came out and did not listen to the radio much), I hear you about songs being overplayed. Can certainly ruin an otherwise great song. Living here in Ventura, CA, can do that very thing. I think we have the WORST radio stations in all of the US! If a song is new, you can bet on it being played at least twice every hour on every station. Sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Glad you liked D_Dog's rendition though, I think he nailed it. Keep up the good work Dog!

Sorry, Damian. Didn't mean to highjack your thread with my troubles.
MJ, I couldn't agree more. There are a few songs like American Pie that were simply destroyed by L.A. radio stations. I doubt that things have changed much: when a song becomes popular, it's in a station's rotation every hour. For example, there's a relatively new song called Uprising by the band Muse. I love the song, and I had to stop listening to the radio so the song wouldn't get screwed up in my head. The lazy and awful playlists of most radio stations is exactly the reason why I listen to Radio Paradise on the 'net. It's great eclectic rock.dennisg wrote:Dennis:Not everyone was around when this song was released and heard it as many times as I did.
