The Most Overplayed Damn Song On Chicago Radio

Or at least the most overplayed song in MY day-to-day radio listening experience, which pretty much consists of when I'm at work and my co-workers are playing that damn classic soul station, which typically I don't mind because they've been playing a lot of Prince lately (always the same songs - "Do Me, Baby" and "Adore" - though they've added "Call My Name" into the mix recently)...


...but there's ONE DAMN SONG that they play over and over and over and over. And over. And over. And Over. And OVER. AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND mad mad mad

IT'S THAT FREAKIN I NEED YOU NOW SONG!!!!! I HATE IT! I HATE IT! I HATE IT!! AUUUGHGHH!!!

johnwoo "I NEED YOU NOW" SONG


i don't know who sings this damn song, though TOFKA told me once and i didn't recognize the name (that or i blocked it out of my mind), and i don't know the name of the song, though i don't know how it could be called anything other than "I NEED YOU NOW" SONG because that's all the hell he damn SAYS through the whole thing, other than "EEEWWUUUGHHH!!!" "OOOAAAWWWOAAAHHH" and other assorted annoying-ass melisma crap,

and the damn station plays it - I SWEAR - about TEN TIMES A NIGHT!!! one night i realized they had played it THREE TIMES IN ONE HOUR!!!! that's more than most commercials get played!

WHAT THE HELL?!?!?

oh my GOD i hate that song. i'm seriously about to write a letter to the station telling them to knock it the hell off with that song already, because i think we've all heard it now and its boring a damn path through our brains like some kind of vampire worm or some shit.

ENOUGH!!!!!

Every night I'm lying in bed
Holding you close in my dreams
Thinking about all the things that we said
Coming apart at the seams
We tried to talk it over
But the words come out too rough
I know you were trying
To give me the best of your love

Beautiful faces, loud empty places
Look at the way that we live
Wasting our time on cheap talk and wine
Left us so little to give
That same old crowd was like a cold dark cloud
That we could never rise above
But here in my heart
I give you the best of my love

(Chorus) Oh, sweet darlin'
You get the best of my love
Oh, sweet darlin'
You get the best of my love

I'm going back in time and it's a sweet dream
It was a quiet night, and I would be alright
If I could go on sleeping

But every morning, I wake up and worry
What's gonna happen today?
You see it your way, I see it mine
But we both see it slippin' away
You know we always had each other, baby
I guess that wasn't enough, oh
But here in my heart
I give you the best of my love

The song is called "I Need You Now" by Smoky Norful. It's a gospel track but I swear it came striaght from the devil himself. Anx, I am so with you on this one. I have hated this song from the first day I ever heard it.

it's a good song, and Smokey ripps it live, but overplay definitely kills the effect. It's kinda like the Open My Heart filabuster of 1999-2002. I felt like if I heard that song one more time, or saw a poor dance routine set to it one more time, I'd burst! grenade


...it had me wantin' to hurt Yolanda!

yes!!!! I do! wave
In my city, it seems that radio DJ's jock anything put out by the Kirk's, Yolanda's and Donnie's of America. They don't look outside these figures for gospel music. I'm not saying that these "gospel-stars" should be completely overlooked, but I am saying that there's more to gospel music than just those few.

.....But then again, maybe I shouldn't expect much from the same DJ's who only play Lil John, Yin Yang Twins and Usher "...50 times a day for three months. Man! Phunk that!!!!" disbelief
quote from the terrible, tacky techno 90s song, "Funk That".
