Have you ever heard the song “Royals” by Lorde?
Alternatively,
Another way to ask that question is,
Have you ever listened to the radio in the past month?
See, I really like the Royals song,
But there’s one problem-
It’s so overplayed!
If I turn on the radio, I can’t get away from it.
And even if I turn off the radio,
I still can’t get away from it-
Because it’s stuck in my head. Because I was just listening to it on the radio.
It’s like seriously-
I can’t escape.
No matter where I go,
The Royals song will find me.
Now, the same thing happened with “Blurred Lines” over the summer.
I loved that song.
And then I heard it-
Either on the radio or in my head-
Incessantly. For the entire. Fucking. Summer.
And now whenever I hear “Blurred Lines,”
It’s like,
Oh my God, no!
Not again!
What do I need to do-
Shove a stake through my eardrums?
It’s sad really,
Because Blurred Lines is a catchy song,
But now I can’t even stand to listen to it.
And you know,
Now I’m scared the same thing is starting to happen with “Royals.”
Like, I’m scared that I’ll have another favorite song,
And I’ll never be able to listen to it again-
All because it is so wantonly overplayed.
Now, after much thinking on this subject,
I have come to one inescapable conclusion-
Radio DJs must be sadists.
