The first thing I do after waking up almost every day is put on some underwear, tell the hooker to leave, haggle over the price but eventually give in, fire up the old the iMac, and check out the videos that Uncensored Interview sends me to potentially include in that day’s blog. This School of Language clip was the first video that I clicked on this morning:
You know how I know that despite the gorgeous, summer-like weather outside, today is going to be a bad day? Because the first song I heard today was Lenny Kravitz’ “Are You Gonna Go My Way.” It’s like getting a phone call first thing in the morning that your dad is in a coma. Except in that case, there’s reason to be optimistic that your dad might wake up. There’s no reason to have any optimism once that riff gets stuck in your head for the rest of the day. I could be witnessing the birth of my firstborn child and it would still make me feel just completely dead inside. You could be in the middle of making love to a beautiful woman, and all of a sudden you’ll hear that riff in your head and go completely limp. Hell, it might even sterilize you.
Ugh. Doooo-do-do-do-do-dooo-do. There it goes again. Fuck it Lenny, get out of my head! Seriously, is there a worse, or at least comparably bad song to wake up to than Are You Gonna Go My Way? A few come to mind, but I don’t think they can overtake AYGGMW in terms of sheer annoyance and frustration:
Worst Songs To Wake Up To
- Limp Bizkit – Nookie
- Creed – Pretty Much Any Song By Creed
- Lenny Kravitz – Again
- Rick Derringer feat. Hulk Hogan – Real American
(Congratulations Lenny on being a 2 time Shark-honoree)
Although in Hulk’s defense, he was like an 11 time WWF champion, and he did do my personal voicemail greeting when I met him, so he’s allowed to slide on having this one horribly catchy, annoying song. BUT JUST THIS ONE. It still doesn’t excuse him from His Solo Album (I swear to god this is real – I own an autographed copy).
