Like or Dislike: Whole Lotta Trouble

[skcin]

Words cannot describe my dislike for this song. OK, I'll try anyway. Hate seems such a strong word, but I think it's appropriate here. I hate it. I hate the HORNS/brass/whatever the most - you guys know how I feel about horns in Stevie songs. I hate the finger snapping. I hate the lyrics. I hate the rhythm. I hate the bass and the slide guitar. The chorus may be her worst ever. GAH! I just do not like it. I almost always skip it when it some on.

I don't know what they were going for here and I'm shocked & disillusioned that she co-wrote it with Mike Campbell - how can such a **** song come from two such talented people? Is it supposed to be bluesy? Sexy? Sassy? Rock? I don't get it.

Now here's the bizarre thing. If I do leave it playing, I sometimes sing along with it. WTF? I don't understand it. The first note plays & I cringe, yet I sing along. Especially "Not guilty, have mercy!" I have no defense, no explanation, no reasoning. I need help.

I NEVER want to see it back in the setlist - if it ever returns, it will be my pee break.

BTW - I hate it so much I can't bring myself to think up anything cute & happy for the poll options. I feel that strongly about it.
