Songs that could actually be good

[RITH]

I often hear a song that has a lot of potention in my ears, but there are some things about it that I don't love that dominate. Like just now, I was listening to 'Good as gold (Stupid as mud)' by The Beautiful South. It's got the melody, it's got the lyrics. But I imagine this song would be a lot more enjoyable to me as a noisier popsong with basic instrumentation, a bit faster pace, and vocals that are less syrupy.

Don't know what I'm doing here
I'll carry on regardless
Got enough money for one more beer
I'll carry on regardless
