To paraphrase a Michael Jackson song that may or may not have been covered by Celine Dion, you are not alone in hating Celine Dion’s Academy Award–winning Titanic theme song, ‘My Heart Will Go On.’ This week, in spite of Kate Winslet’s best efforts to promote the 1997 film’s re-release in 3-D as a thrilling and necessary addition to pop culture, the actress could not help but confess that the track triggers an involuntary, nauseating response every time she hears it. Only unfortunately for Winslet—whose career immediately skyrocketed after the James Cameron picture—the song follows her wherever she goes. Winslet told an interviewer that she feels “like throwing up” every time she hears the theme song: “Every time I go into a bar in a hotel where there is a live pianist or a restaurant where they are changing their music according to who walks in the door apparently, it’s thrilling for people to surprise me with the Celine Dion song.” Lesson learned: When you hire a band, rent a vintage bat-wing dress, and prepare a seductively choreographed number for the surprise birthday party that Kate Winslet does not want, but you think she surely deserves, pick a song other than‘My Heart Will Go On.’
