Blunt song 'most irritating'
ITN
ITN - Monday, June 25 09:37 am

James Blunt's hit You're Beautiful has been voted the most irritating song of all time in a web poll.
(Advertisement)

The single had a five-week run in Britain and it was number one in 11 other countries when it was released in 2005.

It shot the ex-military man to worldwide stardom across the globe, bagging him a Grammy nomination and a Brit Award.

Crazy Frog by Axel came second in the poll, followed by Mmp Bop - a hit for brotherly rock group Hanson in 1997.

John Sewell, of market researchers onepoll.com, said: "James Blunt isn't the obvious choice, but any song that is at number one for so long does start to get annoying."

The most recent song in the poll was Grace Kelly by Mika, while the oldest was Lulu's 1994 smash Shout.

I think this is a poll I could wholeheartedly agree with!

So....most annoying song...

At present I'll stick with the majority...

OI!!!!!!!!!

What's with the RANDOM capitalisation and SUPERFLUOUS EXCLAMATION marks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???

Shatner's 'Lucy In The Sky' (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1041013501263471573&q=Shatner+Lucy+in+the+sky&total=17&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=5)

Yet you can't look away. :eek:

I see that at least 3 of the songs have high pitched male voices. Coincidence?

Cascada (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ZK0GmiSMNGI) should be buried...

...preferably in a volcano...

...on the sun

You can not possibly compare Blunts song with any Spice Girls one

Both are manufactured pop acts that hit the top of the charts with abysmally poor music...

Lollerz.

there must be more annoying songs than that, it's annoying because it was played that much and hyped etc, but otherwise it would just be another mediocre pop-song.

Who's James Blunt?

And are you talking about that song where somebody sings 'your beautiful' over and over?

Who's James Blunt?

Some singer who just had a big dose of reality hit smack in the gob like a dead haddock twatting.

Sadly yes.

Thanks for explaining it:p

When the fuck did he become a "smoothie"?

Artistic license :rolleyes: :p

'Get this party started' or whatever its called. God. It seems like every radio station played that song at least four times a day. And no, I couldnt change the station because I was on the school bus and 14 at the time.

Oh, and some pop song my dad likes which consists soley of a single repeated line of music and the words "Sendin' out an S.O.S" about a hundred times.

I'm wondering what the hell happened to me to make me a Spice Girls fan when I was a little kid. :headbang:

1.Get this party started from Pink?

2. Message in a bottle from the Police?

Don't forget that song "Born in the USA (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPudiBR15mk)". It spends most of the song repeating those words, just "Born in the USA" again and again and again, in the same tune.

I

HATE

THAT

SONG


I too had to listen to that everyday while on a school bus, and it wasn't even popular anymore. This was in the last ten years.

Springsteen has actually changed that song, apparently he significantly cut down on the number of times "Born in the USA" was repeated.

Girl Power!


created by men.

The only thing more annoying than that damn Blunt song is my boss singing that damn Blunt song. :mad:

1.Get this party started from Pink?

But Shirley Bassey's cover of it makes it all worthwile. Brilliance! :D
(Alas, not on Youtube properly yet.)

Edit: ...But if you're brave enough to venture onto Shirley Bassey's MySpace (http://www.myspace.com/shirleybassey), you can play the song in the Flash player on the right.
