The song that brings back your most boring memory.

Natasha Bedingfield - These Words while I was operating a DVD label printing press.

As a side note, the Bedingfields need to be shot. I know they're no longer a threat, but they should be punished for their early-00s hubris.

Last Christmas my dad put that Natasha Bedingfield album on while we were having lunch.
I'd rather have a family of rats living inside my head, clawing at my brain and nibbling the backs of eyeballs than listen to that awful awful shit again.
Fucking excruciating!

Wonderwall, sitting on the floor of my bedroom, must have been around 8 years old, being shown how to play Warhammer 40k by my brother. Two four man squads of space marines facing each other.

I actually got well into Warhammer shit, but something about this scene and Wonderwall playing really really makes me feel so hollow inside.

[Ferris]

Of course you used Space Marines, you square.

[Twed]

Me and the rest of my family in my dad's Volvo circa 1991, driving from Leatherhead and onward towards Malden Rushett on the roundabout which joins the A244 and the A243, which also happens to be used as an exit from Junction 9 on the M25.

Uninterestingly enough, I have a very vivid memory of coming back from Chessington World of Adventures and the Leatherhead exit sign on the M25 burning itself into my brain permanently. For no reason whatsoever that sign has permanent residence in my mind. Never even been to Leatherhead.

Whenever I hear Eminem's My Name Is, I recall hearing it for the first time in the car. We were on the way back from Brunel University to visit my brother and between 5-10 minutes from home.
I recall a mixture of exhaustion and relief as we approached the finish line, and then WOAH this dope ass tune appears on the radio and suddenly I'm wide awake. It was the censored version obviously, but still seemed outrageously rude to my 9 year old self, and totally unlike anything I'd heard before.

You can thank Chas and Dave for that!

[Cuellar]

Bloody hell, Dave (if that is Dave) doesn't half look like present day Paul Kaye.

[hedgehog90]

You can thank Chas and Dave for that!

I had no idea what this meant so I googled it.
That's a brilliant tidbit, tah!

The long version of "Stay Together" by Suede reminds me of watching my friend play some shooting game on his MegaCD for hours. He would play the entire "Stay Together" EP which seemed to be endless.

[Dr Syntax Head]

I repeat listened to Anymore by Goldfrapp in my last job while updating spreadsheets. A cool song ruined by grids.

[flotemysost]

I remember being with my Mum and Dad at their friends' house one Sunday afternoon when I was about 14 or 15, and at some point the friends put Katie Melua's The Closest Thing to Crazy on. I was already bored out of my mind, having a period from hell, and was trying not to think about the shitload of GCSE coursework due the next day which I hadn't done - I just wanted to crawl home, vomit and die.

The plodding pace of the song and prescience of the title just seemed to compound the horror - I still feel a sense of dread when I hear it now.

[hedgehog90]

^ It's hard to imagine that song aligning with anything other than dull, persistent suffering of some kind.

[hedgehog90]

9 Million Bicycles just makes me think of famine.

[Howj Begg]

Think Twice, Celine Dion. Endless fucking maths homework only to get a C. That song only compounded the dread tedium.

Stay Together was one of the first singles I bought, absolutely loved that song.

[Berthas Fat Leg]

The Feeling's 'I thought it was over' (the epitome of radio-friendly unit shifter) being played ad nauseum on the local commmercial radio they had on in the background, whilst working a summer job in the local Passport Office - mostly envelope-opening, and data entry.

[Spoon of Ploff]

Babybird's "You're Gorgeous" reminds me of every time I've been in a situation where I have no control over what's being played on the radio or any means to escape from it.
Ah. That's just a more generic version of what Bertha wrote.

[Berthas Fat Leg]

I feel your pain.

[Darles Chickens]

Babybird's "You're Gorgeous" reminds me of every time I've been in a situation where I have no control over what's being played on the radio or any means to escape from it.

For me it's the Black Eyed Peas' "I Gotta [sic] Feeling". I don't know how anyone can tolerate hearing it without wanting to throw things.

[canadagoose]

Fergie's "Big Girls Don't Cry" reminds me of my stint at the coathanger factory. God, that was dull... and physically taxing.

[Jockice]

Not really a boring one, but yesterday was the 13th anniversary of my dad's death. And like clockwork I had The Cure's 10.15 Saturday Night in my head. Because that's exactly when he passed away. Really. It's weird though, because he wasn't a fan of The Cure. Thought they'd sold out after Pornography.
