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?

Whatever the newest Ariana Grande one is. I do t know what it’s called because you can’t hear a single word she’s saying, it all just sounds like mumbled words smushed together. She needs some elocution help.

Leona Lewis songs for the same reason.

Kokoloco... I hear you... Piffle, greatest showman what rubbish, plot didn't hold together, mamma Mia... Dire... And don't get me started on titanic...

And for everyone who has commented about Ed sheeran being a busker who hit lucky... Thank you, I feel no longer a lone voice. You are my people.

Asterado · 30/09/2018 08:48

I watched The Greatest Showman for the first time the other night. I was really disappointed. Utter, utter drivel and more plot holes than Spongebob.

Threewheeler1 · 30/09/2018 08:54

Yes to absolutely hating Dancing in the Moonlight - horrible, cheesy, grating, wanky irritating song!
I also really, really, really hate Uptown Funk. All I can think of is the music to that kids programme The Really Wild Show with Michaela Strachan (from the 80s). It just sounds like a naff theme tune.

Bluffinwithmymuffin · 30/09/2018 09:05

Today 06:17 FingerLickingGod

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’.

That’s the one- thanks Fingers. Smile I can’t even keep it in my brain long enough to get the words right!

Bluffinwithmymuffin · 30/09/2018 09:14

And there was a new one from Lenny Kravitz that came on the radio every. Single. Time. A poor effort at a bit of a summer hit and easy bit of cash.

Was it the five more days till summer-er-er.... one? I hated that too. Dreadful and ridiculous. Whenever I heard it I used to wonder exactly when is 5 more days till summer- 17th March? Middle of July? Worse thing was they were still playing it at the beginning of September, just before we all went back to school Hmm

keepingbees · 30/09/2018 09:33

Oh I'm hating most of these mentioned Grin
Ed Sheeran is so overplayed and the lyrics are utter shite.

My absolute most hated song has to be Ride on time. That woman shrieking "Ride on time, R-R- Ride on Time... "
Its not music it's just noise.

Shout Out To My Ex .... well any Little Mix song really, their singing voices do not sound at all melodic to my ears, especially Perrie Edwards.

that Gabrielle song ...

urubamba · 30/09/2018 09:45

Choccywoccy, we have the same distaste in music Grin

Another one I cannot stand is Boo Radleys, Wake up Boo. Wake up it's a beautiful morning. Fuck off, it is raining and you do not know what shit I have going on in my life.

Second Ariana Grande - that tears song does my head in. She has the same whiney tones as Gwen Stefani - another one I just can't listen to, always turn it over if I hear her, that Don't Speak guff.

taybert · 30/09/2018 09:47

Agree with dancing in the moonlight. In my head they’ve released it about twenty times but it might just have been two. That’s still two too many mind.

SinisterBumFacedCat · 30/09/2018 09:48

Can I add to the list of Ed Asher in hate "Thinking out loud"? It's so bloody turgid. And people have it as a first dance at their weddings, like they hope their marriages will turn out as dull!

For the Xfactor audition over use "what have I gotta do to make you love me?" Usually pulled out when it looks like someone is about to be sent packing. And it always saves them!

You could make a 3 cd complication if all the songs I hate and the ones on this thread.

MawkishTwaddle · 30/09/2018 09:49

Most of The Eagles songs. What a pile of woman-hating misogynists they were. Once you notice, you can't stop noticing.

WallabyWay · 30/09/2018 09:50

Come On Eileen is the worst song ever. Closely followed by these...

Angels by Robbie Williams
Girls Just Wanna Have Fun by Cyndi Lauper
Loveshack by the B-52s(I think)
My Humps by The Blackeyed Peas
Milkshake by Kelis
I Don't want to Miss a Thing by Aerosmith
Anything by Ed Sheeran
That Stitches song
Chelsea Dagger by whoever. It makes me think of football thugs.

WallabyWay · 30/09/2018 09:53

Actually I just remembered another song that's at least as annoying as Come On Eileen. It's something about bills and paying and the singer sounds like a dog barking. I'm scared to go look it up again for fear that it'll become my next earworm.

Barbayagar · 30/09/2018 09:57

Jackie Chan by whoever. Just the incessant whining about Sushi in Japaaa..aaaa.aaan!

Happy by Pharrell Williams, makes me completely cross and unhappy to hear, so irritating and bouncy.

I'm a Barbie girl has to be the worst ever.

PinkAvocado · 30/09/2018 09:58

I like loads of the ones mentioned Grin

Almost anything by ABBA makes me want to leave wherever we are and YMCA will make me leave.

formerbabe · 30/09/2018 10:02

I gotta feeling by the black eyed peas...

I hate the tonight's gonna be a good night bit...makes me determined to have a shit night actually!

formerbabe · 30/09/2018 10:07

I also hate stay another day by east 17...so depressing.

tangoed2 · 30/09/2018 10:51

I love the majority of the ones mentioned 😂

My top hate is Dance the night away by the Mavericks, actually despise it and want to rip my ears off when it comes on.

dingdongdigeridoo · 30/09/2018 11:03

It gets on my tits that Stay Another Day is all over the radio and music channels every Christmas. Just because it’s got a couple of bells at the end and some snow in the video, it’s not a Christmas song! Take those things away and it’s a pretty generic 90s ballad.
