David Lynch hates "It's A Small World"

Since we are going to be looking at his work this semester, I came across this funny interview between David Lynch and the Onion's AV club about why he hates the song "It's A Small World," you know, the one from the Disney ride.

The discussion comes from a segment by the AV Club called HateSong, which as they explain is where they talk to musicians, writers, comedians, actors, etc., to explain the song they hate the most and why. It features more musicians than anyone else, but it is an interesting look into the subjective, why someone could hate a song so many other love. (Sidenote: the most popular group being hated on is the Black Eyed Peas, something I could very much agree with.)

In his discussion of "It's A Small World," Lynch describes the first time hearing the song to having "a very traumatic experience," and even compares the song to "having a disease," similar to "the swine flu or something."

The discussion of "It's A Small World" and why Lynch hates it does progress into a more productive conversation about his own music making and the music he choses for his film. It's a quick light read, but entertaining and it can be found here.
