Does anyone else hate this song?

Or if not what song do you hate for no reason

It goes :

"I've been so many places in my life and time"

And I think it's called A Song For You

It's really popular it seems on talent show auditions and I can't for the life of me think why, I think it's proper rubbish.

I also hate And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going for the same reason

A mystifyingly popular song

Anyone else?

That Jackie Chan with his frickin sushi from Japaaaaaaan.Angry

SouthwarkSkaters · 30/09/2018 01:13

Yay, umbrella-hating twinnies Grin

(Love A song for you though, but I love The Carpenters Blush)

Especially For You. Jason Donovan and Kylie. Showing my age, but that song represents an obnoxious brain worm that gets stuck in a loop in my head if I hear it. Hated it as a teenager and the feeling hasn't changed. Hmm

luckycat007 · 30/09/2018 01:32

That one by Ariana grande that gets played a lot, it's unbearable.

Bluntness100 · 30/09/2018 01:52

Lol at these, most I like, I don't like Beyoncé though, her single ladies one, shoulda put a ring on it, how enlightened and that crap about if she were a boy.

Hello Beyoncé, 1950 called, they'd like you back.

I can’t abide that “Rude” one

Also, Lift me Up by Geri Halliwell you can hear her breathing in between lines

GunpowderGelatine · 30/09/2018 02:13

YY to "And I am telling you".unless screaming for 4 minutes is your thing.
Galway fucking girl. Actually, anything by Ed Sheeran. He's an average busker who got lucky. And some of his lyrics - "me and my friends have not thrown up in so long oh how we've grown" Hmm

Choccywoccyhooha · 30/09/2018 02:18

Anything by the sodding Lighthouse Family or Ocean Dullard Colour Scene.

Oh or the Lightening Seeds or Dodgy.

And You're Gorgeous, is it by Edwin Collins? "You filmed/filled me on the bonnet."

Agustarella · 30/09/2018 02:33

One of the worst things about Christmas is having to hear that bloody awful song, Stop the Calvary! I hate it!!!

Stop the Calvary must be the atheist version. Smile Stop the Cavalry was my all-time favourite record when I was four and I still love it. Blush Mistletoe and Wine is the one that has me running out of any shops that play it. Anything by Sir Cliff, in fact.

Also that Bryan Adams song that was number one for ages - Everything I Do. French buses always play Cherie FM (like Heart FM I guess) and that one is a mainstay, along with Hello by Adele.

Agree about Imagine and No Woman No Cry.

I torture my DD by making her listen to this
WhyBird2k · 30/09/2018 02:52

Can't stand Summer of 69...i get irrationally annoyed at the way he says "sixty".

Joining the anti-Sheeran club " we spoke for hours and hours about the sweet and sour"

SusieQ5604 · 30/09/2018 03:37

Anything by Celine Dion

AcrossthePond55 · 30/09/2018 03:41

That Cher song, Do You Believe. The reverb and voice modulation sets my teeth on edge. I can't stand it in the first place in any song, but something about her voice + reverb/modulation gives me the rage.

I have NEVER heard that song all the way through. Switched stations before it was over the first time I heard it and have done so ever since.

FingerLickingGod · 30/09/2018 06:17

Hate that strumming my fate with his fingers one.... whoever sings it.

Do you mean Killing Me Softly? If so then the lyrics are ‘Strumming my pain with his fingers’.

Mablethorpe · 30/09/2018 07:45

That awful Desree song with the shit lyrics:

… I don't want to see a ghost,
It's a sight that I fear most
I'd rather have a piece of toast
And watch the evening news …

So cringeworthy. Also pretty much everything Ed Sheeran has ever done. He's referred to as the worlds highest paid busker in my house. Couldn't string decent lyrics together if his life depended on it.

Toptheginup · 30/09/2018 07:48

AGENTORNIKA completely agree, dancing in the moonlight is awful Angry
As is : texas, say what you want
Boring, droney song

WhenIWasAYoungWarthog · 30/09/2018 07:50

I hate that JLS song about how if the woman breaks up with him his heart will never beat again. It reminds me of relationship threads on here. The best/ worst line is ‘if I did would you come to my funeral? Yeah, would you cry?’ Massive red flags there.

WhenIWasAYoungWarthog · 30/09/2018 07:50

*if I died

Toptheginup · 30/09/2018 07:50

Also agree with Galway girl being absolute shite, totally overplayed.

Toptheginup · 30/09/2018 07:52

@wheniwasayoungwarthog: just been a little bit sick in my mouth, that song, grrr.. I used to HATE it

ElizabethMainwaring · 30/09/2018 07:53

Choccowoccyhoohah- 'You're Gorgeous' was by Baby Bird.
Bloody awful song. It was about a stalker I think.
Edwin Collins sang 'I've never met a girl like you before' and was the singer in Orange Juice in the 80s.

Moanella · 30/09/2018 07:57

That song "Shotgun" that my kids won't stop singing. The faux Americanism and Ezra's strange little yelping at "gotta get USED to this" really drives me crackers.

LaLaLolly · 30/09/2018 07:59

choccy I also have an aversion to "Golden Brown" and feel depressed and dejected when I hear that odd sound in the chorus.

No idea why!
