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?

So glad someone else thinks Ed Sheeran sounds smug and wanky in the castle on the hill song.

And agree re Adele - everytime I hear her whiney voice I get the rage - shut up with your miserableness.

Have to admit I love Love Shack though.

Agustarella · 30/09/2018 20:02

Yes to Send in the Clowns and that woman with the faux naive breathy voice. It's deranged.

PuppyMonkey · 30/09/2018 20:12

That bit about “now my bed sheets smell like you” mentioned by a PP. Ken Bruce played it the other day and told Ed he should get some Febreeze. Grin

AnneOfCleavage · 30/09/2018 20:13

Oh gosh yes Adele. Her slurry voice - Skyfall is particularly bad. She doesn't enunciate at all. Dreadful singer even if her songs them self aren't too bad.

mintich · 30/09/2018 20:22

I'm a dreamer! It reminds me of being in cheesy nightclubs feeling like you should have gone home an hour ago

StealthPolarBear · 30/09/2018 20:26

I love it for the same reason :)

RottenApple · 30/09/2018 20:38

Mulder and Scully by Catatonia
Anything by the Spice Girls
Anything by the Manic Street Preachers
Come on Eileen
All those folksy crap songs by people like Mumford and Sons
Brown Eyed Girl
That Craig David one about going for a drink on Monday and shagging on Wednesday or whatever it is.
And that Natasha Bedingfield one about the musically notes. It all sounded out of tune.
Oh and what's my name by the Ting Tings. (Thankfully they seem to have vanished)

Toptheginup · 30/09/2018 20:43

There are some really shitty songs that can stop you in your tracks on the dance floor and make you want to sit down, seen loads on here that I agree with.
That Bruno Mars one about hands down pants that someone else has mentioned is one of the most irritating songs/video ever!!!

MawkishTwaddle · 30/09/2018 20:58

It's A Man's Man's Man's World.

Fuck. Right. Off.

FuckKnuckle · 30/09/2018 21:07

Jason DeRulo and his tale of insatiable lust. Chrissake, man, strap it to your leg and at least take her for a drink first.

Cheerleader. God that's insulting. "She says, do you feel like cheating? I say, no, not really..." Don't be such a wet lettuce. I'd like to shove her pompoms right up your...

"Whatever I said, whatever I did, I didn't mean it..." Graaaagh! Apologise properly, you wanker!

There are others, but I'm going for a nice lie down in a darkened room now.

AnotherPidgey · 30/09/2018 22:13

Band of Gold and Young Hearts Run Free, overplayed at wedding discos with their inappropriate lyrics for the occasions. I suspect a glut of cynical, divorced wedding DJs. Wink I'm no Dolly Parton fan, and again who wants to think about Working 9-5 on a night out.

Any Craig David song. I know it's Craig David by his signiture dirge. I'm not so thick that I need his name on every label. And why has he come limping back after nearly 20 years?

That awful Sam Smith Bond theme. The one that limped on, with no climax brewing.

Any of the plethora of mumbling women popular at the moment. Some of them have decent voices if they sang clearly and had decent material. I heard Anne-Marie do something live on the radio and she sounded great doing a simple cover... her actual records on the other hand...

The warblers... Rhianna-ana-ana-ana Grin Leona Lewis and the queen of them Mariah Carey. I was sandwiched between two fans by thin walls back in halls. Having Mariah warbling in 14 parts on each side of my room at two different parts of the song. How I didn't voluntarily rupture my own ear drums, I don't know.

Sorry for listing artists. I try to block what the actual songs are Grin

EnthusiasmIsDisturbed · 30/09/2018 22:53

PuppyMonkey I can’t stand Imagine either he has written much better songs

I hate Dreams by Gabrielle it was number one for ages

Baker Street makes me feel instantly down in mood

Everything by Dido her music is so dreary and dull

McFugget · 30/09/2018 23:22

Jason DeRulo and his tale of insatiable lust Which one though? I'm sure that man is entirely responsible for all vaginal dryness ever.

PawneeParksDept · 30/09/2018 23:30

I just saw X Factor on Catch Up

Have another candidate

Turn down the light, turn down the bed don't patronise me

Yes because every ones first instinct is to tell their other half not to patronise them during sex Confused

maddiemookins16mum · 30/09/2018 23:36

It’s raining men
Power of Love (Jennifer Rush)
and currently that one called new rules or something
Bleedin Love by whatserface off of X Factor
The man does nothing by Alesha Dixon

Oh and anything by the Beatles or Elton Yawn

SouthwarkSkaters · 01/10/2018 00:14

Ooh just remembered Sam Smith gives me the rage. Anything and everything he sings. And that Familiar song by Liam Payne Confused - it’s just trying to be the next Despacito, isn’t it? Famili-famili-familiar, I’m feelin’ I’m feelin’ I’m feelin’ ya, poetic Hmm

plominoagain · 01/10/2018 00:22

Whoever it is with the under my armberella ella ella urgh urgh crap . Rihanna maybe ? I'd rather fucking drown myself thanks .

INeedNewShoes · 01/10/2018 00:22

Just want to dance the night away

Girls just wanna have fun

I agree with others re Imagine

I've had the time of my life (it is just played far too often on the radio)

Chickenwings85 · 01/10/2018 01:06

Not so much a particular song but Jesy Nelsons voice from Little Mix gives me such bad rage!! She sounds like a strangled sheep, I can't cope with it!!

MelonBuffet · 01/10/2018 01:30

That bit about “now my bed sheets smell like you” mentioned by a PP. Ken Bruce played it the other day and told Ed he should get some Febreeze. Grin

I may have sent DP a text after I first slept with him telling him I could smell him on my pillow. Blush He liked it apparently! Which is quite lucky really, as I realise now that I sounded like a creepy Hannibal Lecter wannabe Grin

My worst songs have all been mentioned. Hate Manic Street Preachers with a passion. Beatles - blah (I mean, I appreciate at the time they were revolutionary and all, but now....yawn fest), the songs I most dread singing at my local choir include TopLoader Dancing in the Moonlight, What becomes of the Broken Hearted, plus George Ezra and the Beatles, so pretty much all covered here!

StealthPolarBear · 01/10/2018 06:00

F R I E N D S that is how
You spell friends
We're just friends

ichifanny · 01/10/2018 06:56

Hi I’m good st hating things here’s my list
Annie Lennox walking on broken glass - like hearing broken glass
Chumbwumba = shite
The beautiful south perfect 10 = the most irritating song ever to be conceived
Top loader dancing in the moonlight = creepy
Ed sheeran sing = makes my skin crawl

Effendi · 01/10/2018 07:54

Another vote fo Come on Eileen. I have to switch the radio off if it comes on.

Also Fairytale of New York and Walking on Sunshine both are piles of shite.

SevenOf1981 · 01/10/2018 08:15

Adele has a great voice, but set fire to the rain? That's not gonna work unless you're in Venus maybe. And chasing pavements - they don't move! Irrational dislike of those lyrics.

Hard-fi cash machine. Don't know why, it makes me feel ill when it comes on.

Lenny kravitz, I wanna get away, is it? So unmelodic!

Yes to toploader. And didn't they pair up with Santana. That was shit. I love a good guitar, but Santana make me hate them.

Believe by Cher makes me angry. Bloody vo-coders.

Lots of those already mentioned... But girls just wanna have fun, while not being a favourite, was the song my daughter was born to. Should have requested a different surgeon who didn't want to listen to heart FM...

Oh and agree with wasn't expecting that and the 7 years old one. Wasn't one of those the same guy who sang the digger song?

dingdongdigeridoo · 01/10/2018 08:32

I’m glad other people are grossed out by Ed Sheernan and his smelly bed sheets. When I first heard that line I assumed she had farted and left the bed, creating a sort of Dutch oven situation. I’m obviously not very romantic.

And that song about the Irish girl? Awful. I always wonder whether Irish people get offended by that song as it kind of sounds like he’s taking the piss.
