Having been born in the early 90s and about 6 when the song came out, I don’t really remember hearing it, so I youtube’d it. The chorus makes me think I’ve heard it in a commercial at some point, but I do actually quite like the song. But I guess I’d see where you’re coming from if it was played constantly. Bleeding Love by Leona Lewis had the same effect on me — I thought she was a really good singer, and I loved it at first, but after the radio played in constantly, I grew to despise it.

Just heard Sherry by Frankie Valli in an elevator. Wow, that’s an annoying song.

Lydia the Tattooed Lady
Oh, Sherri
Wake Up Little Susie

I’m mostly amused by 27 Jennifers.

Rhiannon. Amanda. And Sara–which is why I’ve never gone by my first name (Sarah).

In contrast, the Beatles “Dear Prudence” almost makes me love that name.

How funny. :)

I know a handful of Interpol songs, but not that particular one, so I searched for the video on YouTube. Have you ever seen it? It features a creepy puppet-man. Honestly, I think that would turn me off even more than the subject matter.

Should we ever have a second daughter, we plan to call her Rosemary, nn Romy, after my grandmother Maria Rosa/Rose Marie. There’s a (not terribly well known) song by Interpol where they sing Rosemary – it’s haunting.

But when I tried to download it on iTunes, there was no song called Rosemary by Interpol. Instead, the song is titled Evil and is about a RL serial killer from England back in the day.

Ahem. So I still love the name in honor of Gran, and I still love the song. But I suppose I won’t be crooning it as a lull-a-bye to a hypothetical future child.
