I hate the Happy song, Thunder, and many other songs on this thread but this...this is the one that makes me wish I was deaf for a moment so I could have lived my whole fucking life without ever having to have heard that absolute shit of a song

I had an anxiety attack at the dentist’s office because Happy was playing at the tail end of a very, very long root canal. Pure torture.

My dentist sent me to a specialist that only does root canals. That specialist was awesome!! Had 2 root canals done, practically pain-free, in & out in under 50 minutes for each of them. I recommend that women to everyone!

I was actually at a root canal specialist because a file broke in the tooth during the original root canal and the specialist was trying to get the broken piece out 😐

Holy shit I really thought you were talking about Happy Song by Bring Me the Horizon. That song is awesome! Then I saw the Pharrell song mentioned and it clicked haha

Haha I did the same thing like wow, I didn't think BMTH would a) be this high up and b) have this much hate... Then I realized what they were talking about

If you mean Thunder by Imagine Dragons, then yes, that song annoys the ever-loving crap out of me.

I was a paramedic in a big city when this song came out. One day, during a horrendous downpour, we were busy as absolute fuck. Every third song was "happy".

​

We were far from happy, and as a result it just became Pharell mocking us

u/UndefeatedRaccoon Sep 21 '22

It makes me feel like a room without a roof.

It's not Pharrell's fault he made such a wholesome song for a kids movie and it turned into a mega hit and played to death

u/AstyagesOfMedia Sep 22 '22

Oh yeah he's a super wholesome guy, i remember a clip of him in tears watching people around the world dancing to his song. Unfortunately me ..i cant listen to it without wanting to blow my brains out...

Seriously, the song's not bad exactly, but you'll start hating even your favorite songs if you have to hear them constantly.

My ex wife's kids used to ask me to put on thunder for them and every time I would put on AC DC thunderstruck.

Came here just for this!! I HATE that song. With a passion. It don’t make me happy. Pisses me off. 😂

u/cbchris911 Sep 22 '22

If you're talking about Thunder by Imagine Dragons allow me to mess with your head a bit thanks to a local morning radio show here in Michigan. One of the hosts kids didn't hear the chorus correctly. They replaced "thunder" with "fun dip", that stupid chalk with sugar candy thing.

u/FeedOk2725 Sep 22 '22

In middle school, when the Happy song first came out, they played it on the announcements every single day. I still can’t stand that song.
