It is impossible for me to accurately state just how intense my dislike of this song is. Comparing it to the heat of a billion suns is inadequate. listing the multitude of things I would rather do than listen to this would take volumes, they have not developed a measurement system that is capable of this.

But just how committed am I to my Bin Diving posts, and them being an accurate reflection of my listening to full albums? I can answer that by saying that it is so important for me to be authentic and honest, I actually listened to this so that when I include Tattoo You on my list Monday, it will be true that it was a full album listen.

I actually like quite a bit from this album and many songs show up on playlists and such, but prior to my Bin Diving logging, I would always skip straight past this and on to “Hang Fire” which is considerably more palatable. I tend to usually stop listening prior to “Waiting on a Friend” as well, but my feelings towards that are not nearly as extreme.

For reference, since 2006 I have logged 231 listens of songs from Tattoo You, and today’s listen marks the single instance of a logged “Start Me Up”

So, don’t bother clicking through to listen to the song, to be honest the only thing I can imagine being more unbearable than needing to listen, is to have to watch this horrible fucking video along with that experience.
