Yes, this is one of those songs that people love to hate, like “Feelings” and “Seasons In the Sun”.

Not every pop tune has to be a musical masterpiece or rock classic. There were lots of “sunshine pop” in the 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s that were just pleasant background music type tunes that no one took seriously. And just because something was overplayed doesn’t make it a bad song.

“ And just because something was overplayed doesn’t make it a bad song.”

Overplayed?

No. You see the title and the tune plays in your head for a week. It’s involuntary. Like breathing

Make it stop

Ear worm music has a particular shallow simplicity that makes it so. It is torture

If I heard “I want to see you tonight” I groaned.

To this day my heart gladdens when I hear JEREMIAH WAS A BULLFROG.
