Yellow Submarine
While I was waiting for my salad to be made this morning (I have a strange eating schedule), The Beatles' Yellow Submarine played over the speakers in the restaurant. Now, to my knowledge I've never actually listened to the whole song, it is entirely possible that I have never heard the song sung by The Beatles in its entirety. I would continue to imagine I have only heard Yellow Submarine sung by someone other than The Beatles, and only part of it at that. While I was waiting for my salad and listening to this "classic" of pop music, I was astonished at how completely AWFUL this "song" is. I kept thinking, "this is a classic Beatles song that so many love?" How can anyone actually think Yellow Submarine is good in any way? It is the biggest piece of shit I've heard since...Sen. Santorum opened his mouth.
Am I the only one here that thinks this? Surely not.
I now will add Yellow Submarine to my list of truly awful thing that everyone else seems to like, from here on out to be known as "The WTF?" list. So far the list consists of the film, The English Patient, and the "classic" novel, 1984. I'm playing with the idea of adding temperatures above 67 degrees Fahrenheit.
Upon re-reading the above post, I fear some might think I am being unfairly critical of all things British. Nothing could be further from the truth. I love the Brits! I've slept with a few and had a grand ole time, and I rather enjoyed Four Weddings and a Funeral! Prince William is a hottie, IMHO.

That's okay...that song is total butt.
I find it refreshing that you don't like the song and continue to dislike so much that the hoi poloi holds dear. (Personally, I love it, but only because it reminds me of my grandmother who would sing it to me when I was younger in the same way someone else's grandma would've sung 'Wheels on the Bus'.)
English Patient I refused to see, so no comments there, but 1984? I need a bit more info before I can judge you on that one. (Is it the writing, overall theme, contstant pop culture usurpation of errata from book? or something else?)
I refuse to answer questions that contain the words "pop" "culture" "usurpation" and "errata"
Sounds like something an English Major would ask...
