Is there a song that haunts you?

Question

My car doesn't allow Bluetooth. When I have turned on the radio, The radio channels I choose from plays 2 songs almost routinely. "Sweet Home Alabama" by Lynyrd Skynyrd from 1974 and "Billie Jean" by Michael Jackson from 1982. These songs won't stop being spammed on rock stations. Sweet Home Alabama is about incest and Billie Jean is about pedophilia and the radio channels can't help but keep there hands, eyes, and ears, away from it.
Why do these cursed songs keep popping up on the radio channels continuously throughout the week? it is sooooo cursed

Given that Lynyrd Skynyrd, I assume it's your Northern duty to stereotype and be aggressive towards Southerners. But since you are a Yankee, you cannot relate to the lyrics which is understandable.

"Big wheels keep on turnin'
Carry me home to see my kin
Singin' songs about the Southland
I miss Alabamy once again, and I think it's a sin, I said"

Does not mean that Southerners have sexual relations with their family. The singer means that he is so proud of his Southern heritage, then it must be a sing to be so proud. That, and the lyrics about 'where the skies are so blue" are nothing to which you can relate, as the are indeed about blue skies and clean air. One day, Boobslayer will bottle clean air and sell it to you, mark my words.

This is also why you people think you "won" the Civil War. The reality is, we just didn't want your prancing around in our neck of the woods so we pretended to give up before we shot that tyrant Lincon.

I had the privilege to be Bruce's (U. Utah Phillips) friend for six years before his death in 2008.

I hadn't heard of him before we met, but discovered that he was a famous story teller, song writer and a wonderful human being.

I talked to him at least once a week. He was up and around like normal just days before he passed away. I had no idea he was so sick. He had some great stories. I even played a couple small gigs with him. I really miss him.

The first time I heard this song was on the radio while I was driving. They played the song along with the intro that is on his Stardust on the Rails album. By the time the song was over, I had to pull over because I couldn't see through my tears. Something about it really got to me.

I grew up listening to rock music, but this song haunts me.

Sweet Home Alabama isn't about incest. It's just become an unfortunate meme on the internet. I seen it all over Facebook, if there's a post about siblings or whatever, people in the comments quote the title.

Again, it has nothing to do with incest. Just became a stupid meme.

Billie Jean also isn't about pedophilia at all. She's dancing at a club, and young women are usually referred to as girls; if you're thinking it's a kid it's definitely not, they wouldn't have been allowed in. He also says the kid is not my son, meaning a child she birthed.

You should really pay attention to the lyrics and what is going on in the song instead of immediately making assumptions.

Your statement is not only misguided, but it is also offensive to both musicians and their fans alike. Spreading falsities and misinformation, especially on social media, is unacceptable and could harm innocent people's reputation and legacy. I urge you to refrain from such harmful behavior in the future and to be more mindful of the impact your words may have on others. You have felt the wrath of WilmaReportu, and it will not be forgotten. Now you know better than to even think of uttering such words again.

The first song I listened to right after I broke up with an ex a decent amount, but also when I was dreading graduating high school the months leading to it (I dreaded disconnecting from friends after high school and also growing up).

The second one is a song my first ever girlfriend liked in middle school, so I remember hating hearing this band when she broke up with me. Both don't hurt much now, but they just brings me back, so it's an uncomfortable feeling, lmao.

On radio in my vehicle I channel surf & I mix it up & although there aren’t any song that are haunting me right now Tip Toe Through The Tulips haunts me at work. Long story short one of my coworkers was working on a garden at home planting flowers & all kinds of stuff & asked if I wanted bulbs to plant in my garden at my house. Another one of my coworkers said he’ll take a few to plant for his girlfriend & I asked what kind of bulbs. He said tulips & my other co worker said you should take a few & tip toe through the tulips & I started laughing & said WTF. Next thing you know we are playing this song all day long & throughout my building. Very haunting song.

At 5:02 into this song, there's a guitar riff that, for some reason, has been in my head at least once every day for the past several years! I don't know why! I'll just be washing dishes or cooking, whatever, and humming or whistling and that riff will pop into my head and out of my mouth!! Quite often, I'll start thinking of Sherman Allen's hit, "Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah"  and it always leads me into the part of Spike Jones's "Dance Of The Hours" right before the car race starts! By the way, the guy talking is Segourney Weaver's uncle.

billie jean by MJ (1982) was actually about michaels female stalkers who claimed he was the father of one of her kids, though he never had intimate relations with her.

i do like blondie however---this song on so much on retro lunch, on morning drive, drive home, just why-- why-- in the store, in the bank?
