What song has you reaching for the off switch as soon as you hear it?

For me it is Sowing the Seeds of Love by Tears for Fears. Don't mind their other stuff at all. If fact quite liked some of it.

But that song!!! It is never ending. It is horrible. Just thinking about it makes me want to ...

'scuse me I have to go and throw up!!

:sniper:

Smack That (http://youtube.com/watch?v=zZfKSYZXScc)

I hear this song everyday and its one of those unique noises that make me want to take a hacksaw to my knees because if I pass out maybe it will stop

Anything by Britney Spears. Loathesome.

I'm actually glad she's turned in to a dirtly little media whore; it means she's stopped singing, and I pay little attention to "celebrity" nonsense.

William Shatner's Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.

Not that it's on the radio that much.

Chipmunk Christmas. Death. Disease. Famine. The latter three are childs play by comparison.

It's a small world, from disney (go to disney and ride small world it is horrid)

James Blunt. Yaah'r Beautifaaal.
Not just because it's a terrible, terrible song, but also because he's a smug Sandhurst-educated dipshit army boy whose one contribution to society is to introduce a new phrase of Cockney Rhyming Slang.

Edit: before that it was Bryan Adams, Everything I Do, I Do It To You or whatever it was called.

It's a small world, from disney (go to disney and ride small world it is horrid)

After many years of intensive therapy I thought I had forgotten that 'tune'

*sits in corner and starts rocking slowly again*

Anything by Nickelback.

After many years of intensive therapy I thought I had forgotten that 'tune'

*sits in corner and starts rocking slowly again*

At "Grad Nite" ( regional soon to be graduates go to disney for the night) in 1974 I was caught in "a small world for 40 min. I still twitch when I even think of it.
However Pirates of the Carribean, Picture: front of the car coming around the corner at the slave auction hearing "bring on the red head" and my date/girlfriend is a red head. Almost makes up for it.

any pop act that has covered

a) A song by queen
b) A rock song for Chartiy (eg the sugarbabes vs Girls Aloud) - Walk this way
c) A song and then don't even really change it

Ughhh, I could regurgitate the names of any number of cock-rock or new-school punk singles. The majority of what gets played on the radio blows chunks.

(eg the sugarbabes vs Girls Aloud) - Walk this way

Ye gods, that "song" is abysmal.

Mambo Number 5 by Lou Bega. I wish him a slow, painful death for that little gem.

Banana phone.
/thread

Ye gods, that "song" is abysmal.

if you really want to heave you should see the video

MMMBop. I didn't think it was that god-awful, until I found out that the guys in Hanson were actually male, not female. That came as a bit of a shock.

The crazy frog.

James Brown - I Feel Good.

Not the song per se, but rather things that come with it. Because bland generic radio stations play it when they don't know what else to play. Because it's featured in one out of three Hollywood movies. Because it's such a godd@mn cliché.

And the song itself, yes.

Katrina & The Waves - Walking on Sunshine

See above.

After many years of intensive therapy I thought I had forgotten that 'tune'

*sits in corner and starts rocking slowly again*

Me too....

Oh god...it's in my head again....

leroy brown. i couldn't stand that stupid thing the first time i heard it, and they played that damd thing to death for at least a decade.

=^^=
.../\...

Limp Bizkit's cover of the song "Faith" horrid. It degenerates pretty quickly into breathless screaming. Terrible cover of a decent song.

MMMBop. I didn't think it was that god-awful, until I found out that the guys in Hanson were actually male, not female. That came as a bit of a shock.

First time I had the misfortune to see a B*witched music video, I thought it was Hanson in drag.
It was a bad experience on so many levels.

I used to have to drive my cousin to school and she would pay me gas money, which means she thought she had control over the radio for the entire ride....

she kept putting in her CD and the first song on it, was by some boy band, and the lyrics were abysmal. I can handle some pop, but only if it makes a little sense.......

*looks for the lyrics*




3 minutes later

yeah, this one......WTF?!

Yeah

You are my fire
The one desire
Believe when I say
I want it that way

But we are two worlds apart
Can't reach to your heart
When you say
That I want it that way

[Chorus:]
Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
Tell me why
I never wanna hear you say
I want it that way

Am I your fire
Your one desire
Yes I know it's too late
But I want it that way

[Chorus]

Now I can see that we're falling apart
From the way that it used to be, yeah
No matter the distance
I want you to know
That deep down inside of me...

You are my fire
The one desire
You are
You are, you are, you are

Don't wanna hear you say
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
(Don't wanna hear you say)
I never wanna hear you say
I want it that way

Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
Tell me why
Ain't nothin but a mistake
Tell me why
I never wanna hear you say
(Don't wanna hear you say it)
I want it that way
I want it that way





















I hate this song. :(

Chipmunk Christmas. Death. Disease. Famine. The latter three are childs play by comparison.

Seriously? I'm not the only one who shudders at the very thought of the Christmas season because of that damn CD? I'm glad to know that I haven't been suffering alone.

However, I would still contend that the Ballad of Bilbo Baggins, as performed by Leonard Nimoy is the worst song ever.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea but in case you don't know it.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=BS-Cif1vSa4&mode=related&search=


Was sick 3 times just getting it off You Tube.

It makes me want to go postal!

Stevie Wonder's I just called to say I love you is a close second.

:gundge:

I hate this song. :(

I have the strangest feeling that's boyzone. All of Ireland apologises.

I have the strangest feeling that's boyzone. All of Ireland apologises.

Nope. That would be the Backstreet Boys. Why do I know this? Because I have two sisters who were pre-teens when the Backstreet Boys were at the height of their popularity.

Inspite of that, I would have to say that my most hated song would have to be These Eyes by the Guess Who. I used to work at a grocery store, and I'm sure they played that song on almost every one of my shifts. I even remember one of the managers complaining about how much it sucked. Most of the Guess Who's other songs are pretty good though.

The crazy frog.

That hardly constitutes a song.

"We Built this City"

Also the Steve Goodman song "Go Cubs GO"

i listen to country radio. i have to have 4 country presets just to avoid the songs that make me rant. "holes in the floor of heaven" comes immediately to mind where a 6 year old is told that the rain on his birthday is his grandmothers tears from heaven. *shudder*

Anything by Nickelback. Anything by any Disney whore. Anything by Cradle of Filth. Anything by Fallout Boy. Anything by OAR. Anything by Sum41. Anything by Blink182. Anything by most punk/ska/grunge bands.

James Blunt. Yaah'r Beautifaaal.

Have you seen the dead ringer's version? It's awesome:cool:

Oh, and that "If I Lay Here" song - it just smacks so bad of Zach Braff.

Lemon Tree by Fools Garden... Makes me want to vomit just thinking it... I wish I could shoot every member of that beatleswannabeband in the kneecaps and leave them to die in a shitfilled sewer...

Lou Begas Mambo Nr 5 is pretty bad too... I seriously wanted to shoot everyone wearing a yellow hat at that time... thankfully, he was the only one who was shameless to be seen in one. Grrrr.

"Grace Kelly" by Mika. I'll choose that song every time.
It just does my head in. :(

There aren't too many non-rap, non-hip hop pieces that will make me walk out of a room where they're being played, but Debbie Boone's You Light Up My Life is at the top of the list.

What about "Watchin You" by Rodney Atkins? I fucking hate that song, and they're playing it constantly here.

James Blunt- You're Beautiful

James Blunt- Your Beautiful

There is a very good bit of cockney rhyming slang that describes James Blunt.

Alex's Bottom Five:

5.Wake Me Up When September Ends - Green Day

4.You're Beautiful - James Blunt

3.Follow You, Follow Me (Genesis is one of my favorite bands, but for some reason this song bugs me. Makes me sad that I can't get a girlfriend)

2.Don't Stop Believing - Journey

1.We Built This City - Jefferson Starship

Anything that is either country and western, rap, house, trance, happy hardcore, percussion-heavy techno, bebop, death mental...

Arg...so much to pick from, considering that 90% of all good music was made between 1984 and 2001 in the genre of hard rock, and the remaining 10% is scattered throughout other genres except the abomination that was disco.

Anywho, I pick:

Anything by Fergie.

How in the name of all hell does some skinny white trash ho'bag make it to the top of the chart singing about what appear to be some rhyming infirmities? Give me a pen, paper, and 20 minutes of peace and quiet, and I will write you better lyrics than anything that comes out of her mouth.

The Macarena.

And the idiotic song on the Pepto-Bismol ads (folks in the US will know).

Anything by shitty, pretentious folk poseurs the Decemberists. If I had to pick something specific, I guess I'd say "I Was Born for the Stage", since that one is not only crappy, uninspired and dull, but goes on for-ever.

Celine Dion harping "My Heart will go on"

Check that.

Anytime Celine comes on. I have to change it before my ears start bleeding.

to many to name. luckily i only listen 2 hours/week to the radio and it's mostly very good music.

sheila's wheels. it's like a worm in my head, it's evil.

"Wanted Dead Or Alive" by Bon Jovi
Anything by Limp Bizkit.

MMMBop. I didn't think it was that god-awful, until I found out that the guys in Hanson were actually male, not female. That came as a bit of a shock.Why would that knowledge change the way the song sounds?

Stevie Wonder's I just called to say I love you is a close second. Stevie is that rare musician who either has really good or really bad songs, with little in between.

And the idiotic song on the Pepto-Bismol ads (folks in the US will know).

Did you have to bring that one up?! :eek:

My nephew is constantly repeating it. His parents are about to send him to military school boot camp. I hope that's one thing the Marines knock out of him.

While such dirge as 'Like a Virgin', 'Uptown Girl' and virtually anything by Kylie Minogue were strong contenders, the song I hate most is:

"Heaven is a place on earth" by Belinda Carlisle.

Then again, the Pop genre as a whole continues to erode my faith in humanity.

sheila's wheels. it's like a worm in my head, it's evil.

Heard this?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b90BRBx5mY0

Anything by those god-awful PussyCat Dolls.

Or Black-Eyed Peas (other than "Where is the Love", which is the only good song I've ever heard from them).

Especially "My Humps" and "Dontcha Wish Your Girlfriend...." :headbang: :headbang: :upyours: :upyours: :upyours: :headbang:

"Dontcha Wish Your Girlfriend...."

was hot like me? :p

"waiting on the world to change" and something else retarded and overplayed on the local sappy radio I cant remember.

That "I'm too sexy" song is incredibly annoying. Also all country music makes my head feel like it wants to burst.

*remembers only good scene from Mars Attacks!*

Its by Right Said Fred if you were interested ;)

I don't know the song title, but it is wretched.

So even when your hope is gone
Move along move along like I know you'll do

Mix that with whiney ass vocals that my ears bleed.

Heard this?

Oh and...I'm bringing sexy back :p

It's a parody. Don't worry, it can't hurt you.

'Its My Party'

God. I swear that it was on EVERY OTHER SONG on the radio station my routes bus driver listened to in high school. Some annoying Britney Spears sound-a-like singing it.

Anything by Missy "Misdemeanor (ugh)" Elliott makes me go into a murderous rage.

'Its My Party'

Well that song is right up there with "My Boyfriend's Back" in terms of annoying. Meaning VERY annoying.

But did it get to the point where you stood up on the bus and shouted for the driver to change the radio station? :P

The few times my driver put on the radio he played country music. I just covered my ears, tucked my head between my legs and tried not to cry. ;)

I was lucky there, my parents like Country, so I grew up listening to it and built up an immunity.
Usually I only get a mild ringing in my ears and a faint urge to scream if Im exposed to Country now.

Yes, you are lucky. Now when I get stuck listening to a country song I try to remember an amusing song.

If there was a better reason as to why Sweden should invade Norway and then Denmark, I'd love to hear it. Actually, I wouldn't. I'd kutt myself, so to speak.

Any rap song period. I cannot stand it whatsoever.

Certain other songs also piss me off, such as "You're Beautiful."

I periodically listen to the local "oldies" radio station, but it will always be switched off immediately if the song "Brandy" comes on. I despise this song, and am endlessly baffled by its apparent popularity among "oldies" DJs.

You want bad music?

Jeff's Queasy Quintet of songs to throw up to.

5. We Built this City- By Starshit(p) (Formerly the Jefferson Airplane and Jefferson Starship).

4. Anything, I repeat ANYTHING by Boyzone. Apologies from Ireland accepted.

3. It's a Small, Small World by unnamed torture artist at Disney.

2. Any song from the disco era with the words BOOGIE or HUSTLE with special dishonorable mention to KC and the Scumshine Band.

but the piece' de resistance du Merde is or Creme' de la crap is....

TRUE by Spandau Ballet. Sappy, crappy...please excuse me while I vomit.

"You're beautiful" by James **unt.

"You're beautiful" by James **unt.

You win the thread.

First, I have to say Ifreatt, Bananaphone is sweet.

Any song I hate, is about 99.9% of rap, and anything from High School Musical.

Oh and...I'm bringing sexy back :p

"Dirty babe, you see these shackles, baby I’m your slave"


Damn, I like the beat too. :(

If there was a better reason as to why Sweden should invade Norway and then Denmark, I'd love to hear it. Actually, I wouldn't. I'd kutt myself, so to speak.

Here is a reason:

Sweden gave birth to this shite:
Linky (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYQUsp-jxDQ)

Anything modern. Except the Arcade Fire. *blushes*

What if God was one of us?
Then he'd be pretty fucked. Now stop singing.

You win the thread.

No, this man wins at life. Remember this kids, Emo bitches like James Blunt have no manlyhood.

(eg the sugarbabes vs Girls Aloud) - Walk this way

Whaa...? It is physically impossible to not love that song. Especially if you watch the video.



The song that makes me turn the radio off is U + Ur Hand by Pink. It's not that bad at first, but when she starts screaming "I'm not here for your entertainment", that just sounds awful. It doesn't fit the rest of the song, and totally shatters whatever positive qualities the song might have otherwise had.

Also, I'd prefer songs to have grammatically correct titles. Whenever I see someone use 'U' instead of 'you', I want to murder that person with a plastic spoon.

First to mind is "Rock Me Amadeus" by Falco.
Seriously, as Dane Cook put it, it's that one sound that makes me want to punch babies.

I think you guys have blocked it out, the worlds worst song is:

I love you You love me
we're a happy family
with a great big hug and a kiss from me to you.
won't you say you love me too

By that purple hell beast Barney the Dinosaur.

BTW, my uncle got caught on It's a Small World for 3 hours, and during the point where they play the refrain over and over again. If you try to sing it or play it, he screams and runs.

worst song? Anything by Bob Dylan. As my roommate puts it, "He sounds like that drunk guy who can't control how loud he is talking"

What if God was one of us?
Then he'd be pretty fucked. Now stop singing.

I love you. That song annoyed me so badly that I completely forgot it existed.

Wait a minute, you reminded me of it. I hate you.

;)

My Humps

I can't believe I've only seen this "song" nominated about 3 times! I could punch kittens after listening to a nanosecond of that baby-doll voice.

Nervun, I have a friend who is tied with your uncle for time stuck on that ride. She went Britney long before Britney did and shaved her head. I don't know that the two things are connected, but I have my suspicions.

Speaking of dance remixes, who could forget "The Birdy Dance"?

I ask who could forget it, because I want to know how they did it.

Lol since when has James Blunt been emo? Emos rock Blunt ssucks :p I myself hate 'smack that' and 'a momemt like this'
both made me smash the cd player, mp3, radio etc which they are playing on.
