Olly Murs’ new song gives me the ick! Lighthearted.

greengreyblue · 2025-08-24T10:45:49+00:00

How old is Olly? Singing about sick on his jeans. Makes me feel ill every time I hear it. AIBU? What lyrics make you cringe?

the80sweregreat · 25/08/2025 12:51

I heard it today and although i probably have heard it before I didn’t realize about the lyrics as it’s just instantly forgettable Olly fare isn’t it!

I also hate this song. A grown man singing about vomming on himself on a night out. He's always given me the ick, particularly since he made that video of offering his girlfriend a tube of pringles and he'd "hilariously" cut the bottom off the tube and put his nob in there for her to touch without her consent. Grim. An absolute pube of a man.

Sorry, duplicate post.

I’m sure his girlfriend would have been in on the ‘prank’. They would both have known about each other pranks, they’re completely set up by them. Still ick though. Pair of attention seekers thinking they’re funny. He had to apologise for it, but if he’d have said she knew all along, he’d have had to admit that their whole series of pathetic pranks was made up, so he couldn’t. Twat.

I should add, she has special needs. Her friend had 2 tickets and we mums got free tickets as carers . My daughter went to help out her friend. She isn't actually a fan. But I was amazed at how many young women are. He did loads of covers - he works hard to keep his career on track but to me he is soulless (and I have seen JLS, James Arthur from X Factor, and there is a huge difference).

Totally agree with last paragraph. I just don’t know why. So much talent out there .DH has converted me to radio 6 in the morning before work. I love Nick Grimshaw on this.

I saw him when he supported Take That on tour. He was absolute cringe, kept gyrating at the crowd thinking he was sex on legs. It was so gross and inexplicable! I thinking “he really thinks we all fancy him”!

the80sweregreat · 24/08/2025 16:42

Ella Henderson has had a few good songs out , but I agree she is willing to duet with anyone and try any kind of genre to just put out a few hits that radio 2 or heart radio seem to like. She has tried it all think!
She is one of the party in the park acts on with radio 2 and Def Leopard , which is an odd headliner choice for such an event but will probably be popular.

I took my daughter to see him at the 02 a few years ago - I much preferred the support act, Scouting for girls, who were great.

Anyway, he sells out the 02 - he is hugely popular. And he is a showman - he's definitely entertaining and puts the work in. And his fans love it.

To me he is like Ella Henderson, also from the X Factor. Loved by Radio 2 beyond reason. Both stylistically all over the place - i swear they would both sing anything they thought would chart or be played by Vernon Kay!

the80sweregreat · 24/08/2025 15:42

I saw a lot of Madonna’s influences with Chappell Roan and I liked her stage set up at Reading , but one or two lyrics I found to be a bit too up front ! She is definitely one to watch though and seems to be hugely popular and talented.

He gives me massive bad vibes. Couldn't bear him from the get go.

His music is bland, but his popular so people must like him and the songs. I’ve not heard the new one out but sounds a bit grim.
I caught a bit of Chappell Roan at Reading and some of her lyrics made me cringe. I just I’m not their demographic I suppose.

Ah see I like Chappel Roan. Well I like Good Luck Babe anyway. I’m 54 but I like to think I’m open to music across all eras.
I see you’re a fan of the 80s and funnily enough I find Roan’s use of synths quite 80s like ( which embarrassingly is probs quite retro for her 🙄😳).

Hate all his bland rubbish songs actually.

He's known as Oily Murs in this house with good reason.

Oh I’ve never liked his music. Like a pp said it’s just bland pop but those lyrics made my ears prick up and take notice of who it was, for all the wrong reasons.

You probably have.

Please Don’t Let Me Go, Heart Skips a Beat, and Dance With Me Tonight are the kind of bland cut out pop songs that you hear out and about in shops etc. The kind that just blends into the background and sounds like everything else. Nothing particularly good or particularly awful. The magnolia of music.

The lyrics of this one are crap though.

Show quote history

Exactly, I must have heard lots of these pop songs in shops etc… But like you say, I’ve no idea who’s actually singing them!
