101 Stupid Things - Music

The list of dumb things that happen is never-ending.

SINGING IN PUBLIC PLACES
I would be glad if these people could just keep their mouth shut - because they are such nuisances! From the China woman singing some old-school Chinese song loudly in the bus to the Filipino maid belting out 'Big Girls Don't Cry' - you name it, Singapore has it. Alright, I have to admit: They sing brillantly, BUT HELLO! I am trying to catch a wink in the bus and I am talking to someone on the phone! If you would like to sing, people, do it in your room, do it in your bathroom, and if you're really capable, sign up for one of those singing competitions and do it on TV, BUT just don't do it on the bus, on the MRT, in the MRT Station, or in the food centre!

WHAT!?! THIS IS A SONG?
New singers are coming in by the handfuls - so much so that the music industry is SUFFERING. Nowadays, there seems to be more piles of shit that are trying to intrude into my ears than melodies that I invite. But what's worrying is that some of these crappy music come from old-timers.

DUMB MUSIC TYPE 1: WHY IS IT THE SAME RHYTHM OVER AND OVER AGAIN!?!

I want to listen to real music, not a broken down radio replaying the same tunes over and over again! Sure, these songs are good - but only in the beginning. After a while, these songs start to wear off and they become really boring. Good for 1 or 2 listens, but I bet you wouldn't be interested the 3rd time around because the tunes are just too predictable.

DUMB MUSIC TYPE 2: PLAIN ANNOYANCE

Abracadavers (The Classic Crime)

A cacophony of sounds, I would say. What!?! This is music!?! Oh right, senseless rapping that has an unappealing tune and retarded shouting. Barely have I settled down before these irritating raps and bouts of annoying screams come at me - hey, these singers really sound like drunk, uncouth teenagers venting frustrations in the backalley!
