I did some thinking about why I have aversions to certain songs like "Don't Worry, Be Happy," and I came up with a theory for me---and possibly others. That songs sounds like it is trying to hug me and comfort me. But I don't like to be hugged and touched unless it is by my family. And I feel like the singer and others in it are trying to get too close to me. I don't want comforted by them. My family comforts me in that way. That song gets in my personal space.

that song is an undigestible combo of insipid and trite. it's like trying to swallow a big gob of rancid butter.

I hate this song it annoys me so much it kind of makes me feel gross. But there's one particular part in this song that sounds to me like a cat whining and it bothers me even more. The first time I happened to hear this song a number of months ago I couldn't believe the people who made it let it go through to the public because it sounds awful. I happened to hear this song again and googled it to find it. I don't hate cats but whinny noises bother me.

I think the first whine sound is at the 59 second mark. It also starts up again at about 1min 30seconds. At about 1minute and 50seconds too.

Can't explain it but I love and hate this song at the same time. It was in the movie it's kind of a funny story, which brought back some crazy hospital memories since I've been in them quite a bit since I got sick. In that respect, I hate this song because I have PTSD reactions from the doctors I've seen.

The actual song does something to my body, probably kind of like synesthesia. It actually makes my body feel weird. Sometimes I like it and sometimes I hate it. Depends on my mood.

The beginning of Emerson lake and palmer's "endless enigma part 1" it starts off with a creepy heartbeat and an eerie, piercing synth melody. It used to make me scream and cry when I was little. I can listen to it now but it still creeps me out.
