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?

The theme song from Orange is the New black. You've Got Time by Regina Spektor. I have the remote glued to my hand when watching it.

CiderBrains · 30/09/2018 14:47

And that annoying farm noise song!

kierenthecommunity · 30/09/2018 14:53

Oh and any song that name checks the artist during the intro. Li-um Payne! Jason De-rooooo-lo!

That Liam Payne song is pish too. Comprendez!

StealthPolarBear · 30/09/2018 14:55

Yes completely agree with that but it's not new "oooh Janet... Ooh... Luther!"

StealthPolarBear · 30/09/2018 14:55

Cider you mean the woof woof woof quack quack quack song :) I don't mind it but I did laugh the first time. I think it's about masturbation.

Khaleesi78 · 30/09/2018 15:17

I agree with most of this list! I dislike anything by ABBA, The Beatles, The Eagles or Coldplay! American Pie is the worst song ever, but let me just add Tubthumping by Chumbawamba 😡😡😡

nonamehere · 30/09/2018 15:19

That phrase 'you between my arms' irritates me too - very clumsily written. But my all time hate is that terrible dirge 'Memory' from Cats

Bluffinwithmymuffin · 30/09/2018 15:22

I’ve heard a fair number of the above most hated on Radio 2 today..... Sad

CiderBrains · 30/09/2018 15:36

Yes the "woof woof" "quack quack" is irritating!

Anything by Jess Glynn, just no!

And Adele is so desperate to be known as a singer/songwriter rather than just a singer! There's nothing wrong with just being a good singer and it would be better for her because she is not a very good song writer! She said herself she struggled to write her last album because she wasn't sad.

Violetparis · 30/09/2018 15:43

I loathe 'I Wanna Dance With Somebody, by Whitney Houston. Hearing it is bad enough but the video riles me especially the bit where she laughs.

I bet reading a few reviews could make her plenty sad. Smile

YY to Bohemian Rhapsody. I have a special kind of contempt for people who think that putting together random highfalutin words is really poetic and clever. At least it's memorable I suppose.

(Actually I remember another song like that, but it was played for laughs because all the words were used wrongly. All I remember is that it was from the 30s and had the word theodolite in it.)

Birdie Birdie Woof Woof is about masturbation? Confused I didn't think the Peppa Pig characters even had genitals.

StealthPolarBear · 30/09/2018 16:00

Just my assumption, could be wrong :)

StealthPolarBear · 30/09/2018 16:00

I wanna f-woop, woop woop, but I'm broken hearted
Cr-cr-cry but I like to party
T-t-touch but I got nobody
Here on my own
I wanna f-woop, woop woop, but I'm broken hearted
Cr-cr-cry since the day we parted
T-t-touch but I got nobody
So I do it solo

Agustarella · 30/09/2018 16:07

Maybe it's a nod to the way lots of early records began with a spoken introduction, up until about 1910. Farm noises and whistling were also a thing, but are probably best left in the past!

Agustarella · 30/09/2018 16:14

I didn't think the Peppa Pig characters even had genitals.

And if they did, they couldn't reach them with those little tiny stick arms.

I could be overthinking this... Smile

Mr Brightside by The Killers- hate it with a passion.

Also can’t stand The Proclaimers- 500 miles

bbcessex · 30/09/2018 17:04

YY to the shrieking, caught in an animal trap that is the ‘Eternal/Luther’ horror-fest 😡😱😡😱😡

whiskeysourpuss · 30/09/2018 17:19

What's up by 4 non blondes - even as an angsty teenager in the 90's I hated this

I agree with the PP about Bohemian Rhapsody... I hate it

I don't get the marmite reaction to Come on Eileen though if it came on the radio in the car I'd probably switch stations but at a party I'd dance along

Ed Sheeran is shite - yet work insist on playing Ed Sheeran FM all day every day making me want to shove my letter opener through my ear

ElizabethMainwaring · 30/09/2018 17:39

Oh God. 4 non blondes,What's up. Surely, that is the worst song ever. Horrendous, pretentious shite.

Blackberry10 · 30/09/2018 17:42

New radicals- you’ve got the music in you
I had a Part time job in college and it played all the time in the store I worked in

StealthPolarBear · 30/09/2018 17:52

Everything by whiney Travis
Why does it always rain on meeeeee?
Because you sang that awful turn turn turn song, now stop whingeing

ALongHardWinter · 30/09/2018 17:59

I hate 'Yesterday' by The Beatles. I love The Beatles and they did some fantastic stuff. But this one? It's just a boring dirge.

LuckyDiamond · 30/09/2018 18:04

Anything by Phil Collins
