I Get Very Disturbed When People Play Happy Music Over Gruesome Scenes

[Gizmo j]

In the movie Jarhead, there is a scene where these Marines were torturing a soldier, and they had don't worry be happy by Bobby McFerrin in the background, and now everytime I hear that song I'm reminded about the torture scene.

Same thing in the movie Deadpool, when Wade was being tortured and there was happy Music for that too! I keep getting reminded about the torture scenes every time I hear these songs.

Does this happen to you?

I get the feeling the OP is very disturbed, regardless of music or the type of movie he's watching.

I don't think about Reservoir Dogs every time I hear Stuck in the Middle, but sometimes I do. I wouldn't say it disturbs me when it happens, but I also have aphantasia so there's no visual component to this recollection. I haven't seen the movies you're talking about.
