Endurance Test

 

Rules: You must sit through the music clip posted in its entirety. You cannot skip or get up and do stuff. Once you have gotten all the way through in one sitting, you may post the next clip. Of course there's no way of verifying whether you really did sit all the way though, but just be good sports ;) It's also good to post some assessment of the previous song. Also, posts from those who make failed attempts and comment on the song they couldn't make it through are welcome ;)

 

Also, if someone makes it through the little beauty I'm kicking it off with, don't just select songs based on length- go for a song which you find hard to make it through because of something to do with the song itself.

 

 

 

Try a band we could see a lot of here:

 

 

(No joke- once at a Halloween party, instead of playing spooky music, I compiled a big batch of dreadful songs, My Heart Will Go On and Sometimes When We Touch and so on. It worked great, there were actual howls of "Oh no!" and so on from people when certain things came on. They didn't mind either because they understood the joke was that I was playing horrifying music for Halloween.)

 

Anyway, try this next one, which is pretty damn horrible. It is known best for the immortal couplet

 

"Touch my bum

This is life"

 

 

Edit: Oh, I made it through both of the last two. They weren't so bad. In fact the gummi song is kind of cute, it's not meant as a serious piece of music.

 

Second Edit: In fact, the more of this stuff I'm exposed too, the harder and harder I'll be to horrify. It's like a way of building musical stamina so that you no longer suffer a heart attack when someone plays Westlife in the vicinity.

 

We keep bashing modern pop, but the past has its horrors too. This sets my teeth on edge.
