Does anyone else hate this song?

260 replies

PawneeParksDept · 29/09/2018 21:35

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?

I hate ABBA Dancing Queen. No particular reason it just annoys the hell out of me

BitchQueen90 · 30/09/2018 11:09

I hate anything by Jess Glynne to be honest. So overplayed that it just does my head in.

LinoleumBlownapart · 30/09/2018 11:19

Imagine....NO NO NO
Yesterday........fuuuuuuuuck
We Will Rock You.....Fuck OFF
and that Dock of the Bay Song makes me want stab myself in the ear with a pencil.

I'm not a tolerant person.

Agentornika · 30/09/2018 11:30

I love Shotgun and George Ezra, he's my favourite at the moment.

Harvest for the world by the Christians, that's some droney shite. Agree with Angels, mum wants it at her funeral, it ain't happening, she won't know.

Michael Jackson's earth song, just dire and far too much wailing.

Coffee and TV, excellent video but the song sounds like it's missing a decent peppy chorus

CiderBrains · 30/09/2018 11:36

Most of The Beatles overhyped crap! Hey Jude, Yellow Submarine.. wtf!

chipsandgin · 30/09/2018 12:02

Yes to pp issue with Adele. Ffs stop banging on about your exes and move on woman, you are embarrassing yourself. I mean ‘I must have called a thousand times’, really? I’m surprised the poor bloke hasn’t got a restraining order.

thecarrottree · 30/09/2018 12:05

I do like some Adele songs, but yy to the restraining order. I would be majorly fucked off if my husband's ex turned up at the door blethering about how she was going to find someone liiiiikkkkkke hiiiiiiim.

notacooldad · 30/09/2018 12:13

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
It's not a song I like but I understand it was about Tony Mortimer's brothers suicide. Christmas bells just made it appeal to that time of year so we are going to hear it at Christmas for ever now!

MardAsSnails · 30/09/2018 13:03

Rockabye bayybeeee rockabye (rockabye rockabye)

Fuck right off. I don’t know why. Just absolutely fucking hate that song.

oldnewbie · 30/09/2018 13:19

Anything by Jamiroquoi. I've run out of shops when the twat in the hat starts whining.

Torn by Natalie Imbruglia - makes me cringe.

Ronan Keating's voice has me leaping for the off switch too.

StealthPolarBear · 30/09/2018 13:21

Jess Glynn is an even more nasal Adele, surely

CruCru · 30/09/2018 13:34

I hate Dancing Queen - I find the idea of a 17 year old being the Dancing Queen quite creepy (with undercurrents of this is the best her life will ever be).

I also hate Love Shack.

kierenthecommunity · 30/09/2018 13:37

*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!*

I was about to post this Grin only I can actually think of worse bits

The ‘dinga dinga dinga’ intro

‘Fill up your cup! Mazeltov!’ they’re Jewish all of a sudden?

L’chaim in that incredibly annoying Metal Micky voice

woooooooo hoooooooooo!

The CONSTANT repetition

I just have to hear the intro to want to rip off my ears and burn them

kierenthecommunity · 30/09/2018 13:41

And adding to the Ed Sheehan loathing, I think the worst song in existence has to be ‘Shape of You’ The line about ‘my bedsheets smell like you’ actually makes me feel a bit sick. And the um-ah um-ah um-ah um-ah bit makes me think of him rubbing his thighs and gutning like a dirty old man.

I’m in Leeds and my Facebook has been filled with excited friends who’ve got tickets to see him at Roundhay Park. I wouldn’t go if they gave me £82 and it was on the recreation ground at the end of my street

Agustarella · 30/09/2018 13:45

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.

How can anyone hate the Mavericks, they rock even more than the immortal Stop The Cavalry! Smile I think I don't normally get annoyed by happy, mindless pop, but what grates on me is the stuff that tries to be deep and meaningful, but fails. Combine that with an earworm and you've got a perfect recipe for worst song ever. One time pre DC I was in a public convenience and the busker outside started singing American Pie - I got the rage so much that I couldn't even do what I'd gone in there to do! I no longer have that kind of bladder control (sorry TMI) but my goodness, I still hate that song.

Calledyoulastnightfromglasgow · 30/09/2018 13:45

Jamiroquai. YES. Teeth gratingly annoying

Geekster1963 · 30/09/2018 13:49

I don’t want to miss a thing by Aerosmith hate it.

billydilly · 30/09/2018 13:54

Am I alone in utterly detesting Bohemian Rhapsody? Someone on another thread said that the 'song' was in our DNA and should be our national anthem! It's vile!! Completely vile!!

AmIthatbloodycold · 30/09/2018 14:12

Anything with growling

Like "mama used to say".

And anything by the talent vacuum that is Jess Glynn. How the fuck did she get a recoding deal

She sounds like a flat sheep

Sallystyle · 30/09/2018 14:13

Aerosmith- I don't want to miss a thing.

The Final Countdown just plunges me into minutes of a darkness I can't even explain.

AnneOfCleavage · 30/09/2018 14:15

I can't stand the song "It wasn't me" by Shaggy. He has such a gravelly voice, urghh.

Also hate hate hate the Christmas Pogues song. Have to turn off the radio off and shudder.

Really REALLY have an active dislike for songs that repeat over and over for chorus after chorus. Okay I get it already. Like Pharells Happy for eg.

haverhill · 30/09/2018 14:19

Hello by Lionel Ritchie. Just no.
I dislike most of Queen’s big anthems, which is weird as I actually quite like Freddie Mercury. I just generally dislike big anthemic belters.

Jojoanna · 30/09/2018 14:27

agree with slot of these but love Witcha linesman ,,,

KathDayKnight50 · 30/09/2018 14:28

"Walking on Sunshine" Katrina and the Waves. I was a young teen when it was in the charts, so heard it A LOT. Gives me the rage!

KathDayKnight50 · 30/09/2018 14:29

Oh, I also hate songs that contain whistling!
