Ain't That A Shame

I saw some dollface trio covering Jewel's "You Were Meant For Me" on MTV one night and then the other day while surfing radio channels i heard "I'll Stand By You" not by the Pretenders. It got me very upset because no one can cover those songs except me!!!

Okay, maybe i can't cover those songs when even Stefanie Sun made a mess out of "Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough" when she's supposedly Singapore's songbird and who am i? Surely not any bird.

But i'm sure you can identify with that feeling of rage when a song you love so much that it hurt got stolen/raped/destroyed by someone else who didn't do it justice. Like who are they to take your song -- your song which you loved day in day out, sang aloud, in your head, in the bathroom, 24/7 -- and screw it up and make 15-year-olds (who pardon them, missed out on the golden age when the beautiful song was released by the original band) associate them with your song instead of the original artiste.

Me: Yeah "I'll Stand By You"! Such a lovely song!

Idiot: I like it too! By Girls Aloud right...

Me: *gets a knife and in a swift motion sticks it into Idiot's ear*

Although this isn't the first time such musical tragedy happened, (think Britney Spears "I Love Rock n' Roll", Avril Lavinge "Chop Suey" and "Knocking On Heaven's Door", Westlife "Fly Me To The Moon") and it won't be the last we'll hear, i just can't live to see how much worse it'll get.
