Yes, back in '95 a Frenchman named Etienne locked my arms and forced me to listen to Boney M's "Rasputin" all the way to the end. With my arms locked, I couldn't hit the stop button. I still remember that evening 15 years later! :evil:

Had to slow-dance to Tom Waits' "Jersey Girl" at the end of a play. Luckily it only ran four nights, but there was also all the rehearsals .... gah.

There are a fair number of Tom Waits songs that I'd be happy to listen to. "Jersey Girl" is not one of them.

He's okay, but not one I want to collect.

While going to college I worked at Caldors for 4 years - full time. I worked in the Toy Dept all that time, next to the record dept. The last 3 years the gals who worked the record dept played Carley Simon's No Secrets lp all day long each day - for 3 years. God, I hate that album....(love the cover of it though)

Crowded House's "Change The Weather", every freaking time I've gone into a grocery store in the past 20 years.

Whitney Houston's godawful version of Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You." Excrutiating.

I used to work at Toyota and we had a radio station on the PA all day and night.

Whenever the song "I always loved you" sung by Whitney Houston came on I tried to escape. It has the most irritating vocals I have ever heard in a song.
Unfortunately this was rarely possible to avoid. I still hate it with a passion. :evil:

I'm forced to listen to music I hate ever day, as I drive my daughter to school and she gets to listen to her music. I know, I'm a softie. The music of hers I hate the most? Probably Akon - I'd like to wring his scrawny neck...

I don't think he has a scrawny neck...in fact, he's been known to pull wrestling moves on audience hecklers, so watch out!

One of my 1st crap jobs out of high school was working as a driver for a car rental place. I was the only white driver at the time...when we had to take group trips to pick up cars at a location (sometimes 30 min. to an hour), I had to listen to blaring high decibel rap and hip-hop countless times.

One time, months later on a trip, I finally got to drive the car....and being driver's choice, I made them listen to an acoustic Jerry Garcia/David Grisman tape...they all fell asleep within 5 minutes and were pissed off at me when we got to our destination.....they wanted to know how i could stand listening to that boring crap.

(We used to have great radio station preset button wars.....they could always tell I last drove a car when the rap stations were reset to the rock and oldies stations)

Fortunately, it's on a soundtrack and not any of Whitney's proper albums. She went way over the top with that one, histrionic! Horrible.

I do like her main albums though, listen to a song like "How Will I Know", perky dance pop.

I think anyone who has any kidn of social life has to. I had a really nice evening with some good friend son Saturday night... but had to endure all kinds of country music. :ohno: I goofed on it a little, but had to hold many of my jokes so I wouldn't offend.

Maybe I've just been lucky, then, my friends usually had the same taste in music as I had. But I've had to endure a bit like that in social settings, but nothing like an arm lock!

I had a girlfriend who was obsessed with Bon Jovi. And trash TV. We didn't have much in common, she was much younger. I made her listen to the Carter Family.
