Songs that cause people to commit suicide.

I thought this was about Better By You, Better than Me by Judas Priest... the band actually got sued by cretins who thought there was a subliminal message in that song that caused their sons to commit suicide (one failed and got disfigured, but died 3 years later of another attempt).

I loved their defence of 'If we were going to put in subliminal messages, don't you think we'd have gone with "Buy more Judas Priest records"'!

To be fair, that was a mainstream parody of the very Dutch 'Gabber House' subculture.

Having said that, that....that.....thing actually made the top 40.

Even so, making it into the top 40 was bad enough - even if the "Krokodil Song" was a number one hit in January 2005 here in suicidal Germany ... :covereyes

Anyway: So would you agree that Kerstmis is the worst thing imaginable for dutch natives? :D :p
 
I don't know if "Suicide is Painless" actually caused anyone to commit suicide, but I suspect it is often an outlet for those who are contemplating it.

I'm beginning to have second thoughts about spending Christmas in Germany this year.

But at least the singing will be without the thick Dutch accent perpetrated on me by that video.
 
But, back on the subject as intended by the OP.

I did listen to quite a lot of Radiohead.
Because I found it beautiful, not because it inspired depression.

Whenever I put this on, my friends quipped 'shall we get the razor blades, then?'

So, I guess they qualify.

Not to mention that having few alternatives to hearing country music would drive even a sane person to the brink...I am a music lover; therefore, I hate country "music". .

I determined once that I can not tell the difference between professional country music and karaoke country music.

Oh man, and I thought Sinterklaas arrival was the worst thing that could happen to a Dutch national... Until I saw that clip of yours:

Suicidal ideation, nausea, and akithisia occured at :45 seconds, and I turned it off.

Back in the 70s, Leonard Cohen was considered by some to make 'music to slit your wrists by'.

I never new anyone who did, but it was depressing stuff.

Margot Timmins of Cowboy Junkies makes me cringe. I just shout at the radio...come on girl, kick it up a notch.

I've found that any song in the key of D minor can induce suicide. After all, D minor is the saddest of all keys. People weep instantly when they hear it, and I don't know why.

Must be that Mozart/Bach "Mach" influence.

Most of Bruce Springsteen's songs are depressing actually. "Born to Run" for example.

"At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines"

"It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap"

Quite right!

"I wanna die with you Wendy on the streets tonight
In an everlasting kiss"


On second thought, it seems more like a murder/suicide.
 
The dogs! The DOGS!

The ones barking out 'Jingle Bells' all over the radio this time of year!

You should check out the darker version of that song by Abney Park. I actually like their version of it. They make the song very creepy. :)

As to "Alone Again, Naturally", I could never see that song as sad again ever since I heard the parody "Stalone Again, Naturally"

"We watched him sweat and bleed,
When he fought Apollo Creed,
And in Rocky Three, Mr. T,
So what more does he need?

So now Rocky fight the Russians,
Soon Rocky fights the martians.
And after that,
Here's the fact,
Rocky beats up Rambo!

I sure need a break
I can't take
this guy's persistence
My girl and I are splitting up
We'll never go the distance

So on to Rocky Four
And you know what's in store:

Stallone Again, Naturally..."

:D


Actually the song that would drive me to suicide is that hit that the group "Four Non-Blonds" had. Not because it was depressing, but because it was a horrible song, terrible lyrics, and I can't stand the sound of that woman's voice.

Did you know that they actually had the balls to do a cover of Misty Mountain Hop?

After I get Rick Astley, they're next.:mad:
