Annoying Pop Music - Part 2

Mood: AWAKE!
Listening to: reggae on WKDU (Philly) home of a fellow McDonogh Graduate and DJ (DJ Roo)

First of all, when I'm wrong... I'll admit it. Wrong, but still annoyed.) Yes, I currently own Madonna's single for "Hung Up." Well I had to buy it at iTunes because I finally heard it so many times that I couldn't get it out of my head. This fact may be the most annoying aspect of pop music in general: that if you hear something often enough, you eventually give in.

In fact, isn't that the theory behind pop music? The idea that if you tell somebody what they like for long enough they finally give in and accept it? Well, "Hung Up" joins a short list of pop-music gems that have worked their way into my head and managed to break down my initial revulsion. In a few more weeks, I'll probably be over it and Madonna gets 99 cents from me at worst... Of course, Brittany Spears's, "Toxic" still amuses me so, maybe "Hung Up" has a chance too?

Let's not get crazy...

Ultimately I blame my wife... (I have to blame someone for this! It's a moral crisis.) She has the car seat in her car, and so she gets to pick the music when we go anywhere family-style. That means the radio *shudder* and that means the repetitive, brainwashing cultural propaganda that the RIAA hopes will drive record sales. Pop radio may have won this battle, but I am not down yet! :)
