I love Journey. But for some reason I hated, “Don’t Stop Believin” and I could not understand why I loathed that song until I recently rewatched The Sopranos for the second time after 16 years and the final episode had that song playing until the “blackout.” And now I know why…

Anyone else had a similar experience with a popular song that you couldn’t explain why it rubbed you the wrong way?

    Have you seen Neon Genesis Evangelion? Fly me to the moon was the ending theme, and that might explain it if you saw all 26 episodes.

      Holy shit… that’s it. It has to be. I haven’t watched Evangelion in like, 20 years or so, but I can hear the cover now and it’s like nails on a chalkboard.
