I hear it everymorning
on this radio talk show

GOD I hate to hear it
it's like it forces you
to wake up...
those damn strings
irritate me to no end

I've NEVER liked this song
my mama even said she didn't
like it when it was out

i'd like 2 kno where u got the notion

I never heard you hate on a song like that before, hilarious!

Back in 2001 when Aaliyah's album was released, I dreaded she actually covered the original upon viewing her tracklisting.

IdentityCrisis said:

funny, I immediately thought of that song as well!

I LOVE THIS SONG!! I have fond memories of this song and the era that it was released in.It reminds me of the summer of '74.I was a little kid,visiting my relatives in Detroit.This song was being played on the radio every 30 minutes or so...lol...it was a MASSIVE hit on R&B radio!

Cinnie said:

it's rare that I dislike a song THIS MUCH
there's a good handful of songs
that I feel the exact same sentiment for

but GOOD GAWD I could stand
nails across a chalkboard
better than this song

sidenote: I do kinda like that lil
groovy dance step they was doin during the chorus

IdentityCrisis said:

I knew better

if ol Liyah was gonna
remake anything it would
more than likely be
an Isley Bros. tune

sidenote about Aaliyah:
why is there so much hate for her
on youtube? there are some cruel people out there
they make these weird gif files (some of them
are actually funny like some MJB ones LOL)
but they have ones disrespecting Aaliyah
and the poor girl is deceased...
how can anybody who has a heart create
such fuckery... too much spare time

one day just out of curiousity
I clicked on one of those videos
it was Aaliyah versus somebody
but it was horrible
I actually wanted to cry
I was so hurt by that

Quit your bitchin', Chris

At least you don't hear Danity Kane & Leona Lewis early in the morning

Thats why I hooked up my Ipod in the car,,,,,I SOOOOO can't fuck with local RnB station right now,,,,hell, I can't fuck with radio nowadays, period.

DirtyChris said:

Speaking of which, dare I say, she made a fabulous remake?



Even though the HEART and soul of the song can't be anywhere to be found(Ernie's guitar solo) I love her version SO dearly, in fact I'd credit her for hipping me to the Isley Bros to begin with.

DirtyChris said:

Don't even get me started on that Deadliyah character. I've known of it for years, and it's nothing more than a rabid MJB fan who goes out of it's way to trash anyone who doesn't hold Mary in the same regards as God.

Harlepolis said:

She absolutely rocked her covers of At Your Best (You Are Love) & Choosey Lover!

IdentityCrisis said:

You should see the shrine rejects who practically *live* in the "Mary Discussions" over in the Maryluvs board.

Its a creepy sight to see,,,,but again, nobody is worse than Mariah's "lambs"

IdentityCrisis said:

The former is MUCH better than the original IMO

Even though her vocal range was so limited, she sang the tune with so much conviction and depth,,,,the fact that she was 15 @ the time wasn't even into consideration.

Harlepolis said:

I've had the unfortunate pleasure of seeing them for myself, *shudders*.

I'd say the Killer B's (Beyonce fans) are well on their way to upsurging the lambs in terms of annoyance.

IdentityCrisis said:

I can tolerate annoyance

I can't take faithful followers though,,,,they scare me shitless I damn near thought that Mariah was a female prophet.

I love her though,,,but the idea of going to her fans gathering is outta the ?uestion(even though some of them are cool, to be fair).

Harlepolis said:

If you thought Mariah was a prophet, imagine having to endure conversations on end where Beyonce is referred to as BEYSUS!

IdentityCrisis said:

Those queens kill me slow I'm used to them over @ the Mary board though.

I don't know how people reach THAT state of fanatism Sure I've had my "obsessed" spills when it came to Prince and Chaka Khan, but even in my foggiest minded days I can tell both of them are fuck-ups personality wise.

Is it a desparate craving for a "hero" figure? I don't understand.

Harlepolis said:

It's as if they live vicariously through them. The most rabid of fans - from my observation - don't have much they themselves could boast about in terms of personal/professional accolades, so they hammer everyone else unmercifully about what their favorite has accomplished.

The slightest bit of disagreement (which they always label as HATE), and they swarm you with the most outlandish of retorts as if you caused physical harm to them or their mothers.

Flowers2 said:

it can be... because
I hate the song the thread
is actually about
and Harle already lit the match

DirtyChris said:

OMG you took it back

Class of 2000 stand the FUCK up

Hell, naw! I love this song!

Sorry your radio station overplays it.

minneapolisFunq said:

so I heard the shit AGAIN
this morning

come to find out it's a commercial
for a cruise coming up

I screamed to the top of my lungs
my mother slammed on the brakes

ROTFL

I love this cut by Aliyah(RIP), it's a sexy song.

Cinnie said:

it was hilarious
she's all "WHAAAAT!!!!???"
she thought I forgot something



I know that won't very nice
but I had already said
once I heard the song again
I would scream to the top of my lungs
technically it was mostly reflex

LOL
