๐ŸŽต Monthly Song Challenge ๐ŸŽต

I missed yesterday, so I'm posting the theme song and the today's. I hope I don't get in trouble for posting the same song twice by two different artists... LOL

Day 2: Excellent TV show theme song, regardless if you like the show

Day 3: Song I hate to love

However I love this cover version of the song :)
 
Day 3: A song you hate to love
Iโ€™m not a believer in โ€œguilty pleasuresโ€, because if I like something, I like it without shame. That said, this is probably the closest song I can think of for this prompt.

Iโ€™m a huge Beach Boys and Dennis Wilson fan, and I love this song. However, โ€œNever Learn Not to Loveโ€ is a song that was credited to Dennis Wilson as the songwriter although it is a modified version of a song called โ€œCease to Existโ€ by Charles Manson. This song and its lyrical modifications coupled with Manson not being given a writing credit was one of the major catalysts that culminated with Charles Manson directing his hippie horde to commit mass murder a few months after its release. Iโ€™m a fan of the song even though Iโ€™m not a fan of the backstory and history of it.

 
Day 3: A song you hate to love


I had to debate whether hers or another lady's version was my least favorite.

+1,
 
Day 2

Given the Australian Rugby league is on in Vegas this minute, here is the theme song for the 1991 rugby league..tv ads and games started with this song

So much about this is quintessentially Australian ๐Ÿฅฐ
The national obsession with Tina Turner.
The fact that s cigarette company headlined the biggest sport in the nation.

Nostalgic and good stuff.
 
Day 3: A song you hate to love

"Off With Your Head/Thriller Mashup," Glee cast. (+2)

I am not one for guilty pleasure music, or really guilty pleasure anything. We love what we love. Deathsport is a horrible, B-movie with ridiculous dialog, a story stolen from Star Wars, and David Carradine and Claudia Jennings are both obviously high as kites being flown by other flying kites in every single scene. And I sincerely love it. I embrace what I enjoy, usually, Ke$ha not withstanding.

That said, the music of Glee was saccharine, overproduced, and so so so twee. It was so assured that it was clever, and rubbing your face in how clever, and hip, and "hey! We know this cool song!" it was. Every moment. Gah. It was over-commercial garbage. Except...

The mash-up of The Yeah Yeah Yeah's "Heads Will Roll," and Michael Jackson's "Thriller." And the reason is the late, lamented, Naya Rivera. She absolutely kills it, anchoring the song with the much lesser-known parts from "Heads Will Roll." Absolutely kills it. She was always one of the stronger voices in the show, but this is a peak. And I hate to say it, but it is totally an improvement over Karen O's original track. They expand the chorus by repeating it, and it doesn't fill in the song, it makes it its own. Which is remarkable, considering it is mashed up with a modern-day classic.

So I hate that I love a Glee song. But I love this Glee song. Dance 'til your dead, kids!

Oh, and I love this video. Blame the horror fan, former football player, and snare drummer. (The snare drum break during the "Vincent Price" part is fire, as the kids say. The real drum part I mean, not the electric one.)


(for me: +7 total. Yay, me!)

Day 3: A song you hate to love

Thanks the @The_spirit_of_oz for making today's prompt easy.

The nutbush is one of those songs that immediately separates the Aussies from the rest of the world when it plays because we do this:


Nutbush City Limits - Tina Turner

(Rumour has it that all new immigrants must pass the nutbush test before they're granted naturalization)
 
Song you love to hate

+2 multiple female "artists"
Spice Girls "Wannabe"

Excuse me. I need to go factory reset my phone, trade it in, delete my YouTube/Google accounts and start over, then take a scalding shower and test the limits on how long my water heater can keep up.

4 points in total.

This is Day 3: A song you hate to love, not one you love to hate.

Day 3- A song you hate to love
It's cheesy. It was overplayed when it first came out. But I never got tired of hearing it.
