In high school, our dear friend Lucy had a habit of “killing” songs by repeating them over and over as she drove. (She drove a cute green jetta. The same little car that a few of us were riding in, while stalking a special senior crush, when a curb was ramped and a tire was popped. Right outside that someone’s house. But that’s a story for another time.) Anyway, we joked Lucy about her song-killing habit, but I’m positive the rest of us did it, too (Back Street Boys, Tim McGraw, Mandy Moore, Phil Collins, you know). During our senior year, SB made a cd for Lucy entitled “Victims of the Repeat Button.” It included all of the songs Lucy had killed over the past few years. I loved the title and the cd, and I always think about it when I repeat songs in my car. Here are a few of my song-victims at the moment…
Lupe Fiasco “The Show Will Go On“
Bieber “Baby“
Adele “Rolling in the Deep“
