Book Description:
"Does the opening "pling pling plinggg" of Bette Midler's The Rose fill you with existential dread? Do you cringe at the mere whiff of what Phil Collins is spewing In the Air Tonight? Have you ever bolted from a restaurant because Celine Dion's cover of All By Myself was threatening to drive you over the edge? Well, turn around, bright eyes because Tom Reynolds is here with I HATE MYSELF AND WANT TO DIE, a laugh-out-loud-til-youre sobbing compendium of the world's most hideously depressing pop songs and a guide to what makes them so heartwrenchingly, earsplittingly sad and bad. With chapters like I Was a Teenage Car Crash, Im Trying to be Profound and Touching but Really Suck At It, Perfect Storms, and I Mope, Therefore I Am, Reynolds details the history of melodic misery, from the days of Bobby Darin to the era of Evanescence. Complete with a ranked Countdown of Doom and wonderfully dreary drawings, I HATE MYSELF AND WANT TO DIE is the one book that fans and foes of woeful tunes wont want to live without."
I own this book(picked it up in an ABC Shop sale) and it's absolutely hilarious.It pretty much lists every miserable song from just about every genre-from Johnny Cash's version of 'Hurt' to Dan Fogelberg's 'Same Auld Lang Syne' and Richard Harris's 'MacArthur Park'.If you can't find a depressing song for you after reading this book,you simply aren't trying.A few warnings tho'-it'll probably have at least a few songs you adore in there,but if you have a SOH you can disagree with the author and still have a giggle at his description of said tunes.Also,after reading the book you may find some of them not only depressing,but a tad silly.Guess you'll never 'leave the cake out in the rain' again,tho'.;-)
Thank-yous aren't necessary.Just leave money & beer on the fridge.;-)
