play the damned thing over and over sometimes to the point where you can't stand to hear it ever again? What an odd thing to do that would be. What kind of idiot does something like that? Me. This idiot right here. I have turned myself off songs I really liked in the past by playing them too much. Maybe it's because there are so few songs that really grab me that way and I just sort of lose myself in them. Or maybe I'm just an idiot.

Am I the only one who does this? If everyone replies to this saying 'yes' can someone please lie and say no so I won't feel so bad

Not a song, but an album.

I saw Evita in the first week that it opened in London, with the lovely (young) David Essex. So I bought the album. I was working in a shop at the time and I played it over and over and over and used to get really cross when people came in the shop and I had to stop singing.

(Guess you were thinking of something trendier when you asked the question )

Oh Yes. Most definitely.
When I came across the track Stars by Ulrich Schnauss, I played it to death, resurrected it and then played it to death once again.

Despite getting played regularly, I still love this song. It's definitely one of my "goose bumps" songs.

I tracked down the CD single and bought that even though it was stupid money.

I have included below if you are a bit curious..

To a certain extent I do it with food.
I go through phases and passions. I could eat the same food day after day for a long time until I begin to tire of it and then move on to a different menu.

As for music, - I did once burn a CD which contained only 1 song. But each track was by a different artist. I liked the song so much (and all the versions were acceptable I thought)  that I decided to put them all on one disc.
On many occasions I have  played the entire disc - many versions of the same song.
Incidentally it was the lovely country song "Making Believe"


This is Merle Haggard & George Jones



and this is Emmylou Harris with the same song





and here is the Kitty Wells version, complete with spelling mistake in the open credits.

It was a big hit for Kitty Wells who is alive and well and in her 90s.
