Midnight at The Oasis by The Brand New Heavies. Bland.
Anything by M People. Uber Bland.
Man! I Feel Like A Woman by Shania Twain. I Work in a club and anytime we have a do with older women as the guests this has them racing to the dance floor. A lot of flesh gets released. Grin

All I wanna do is make love to you - Heart
Perrrrrrfffeeect - Fairground Attraction
Ready to go - Republica
All Cliff Richard songs but especially the ones where he swings from side to side waving his arms in the air
And I have to second the call for the current Trevor Horn / Blobbie Williams horror cover of Everybody wants to rule the world. In fact just chuck in the whole Blobbie back catalogue. Club singer got lucky.

On the other hand, I have an inexplicable love of Come on Eileen. Sadly massively overplayed but a cracking song.

Thanks Devil. Anyway it is utter dross.

I love China in your hand.

hayser33 · 09/02/2019 22:14

TeaAndCake · 09/02/2019 22:16

Build Me Up Buttercup.
I hate it beyond words.

Anything by M People.

Friday I'm in Love by The Cure. Which is a shame because I love everything else they've ever done.

Anything by George sodding Ezra but especially that one about shotguns.

Meet0nTheledge · 09/02/2019 22:23

I detest China in Your Hand, pretentious twaddle.

House of the Rising Sun - most tedious dirge ever, closely followed by Hotel California.

Fairytale of New York, the most cringey, insincere-sounding duet imaginable.

IsabelleSE19 · 09/02/2019 22:40

Just thought of another one - Hey Baby by DJ Otzi (had to look up the artist).

Wish I'd never opened this thread now - will have the worstest earworms for days Shock

TattiePants · 09/02/2019 22:42

Return of the Mack by Mark Morrison makes me stabby. Can’t stand anything by Will Smith (except Summertime obviously).

Bubastes · 09/02/2019 22:46

TOO FAR!

Return of the Mack is an epic CHOOOOOON

'You lied to me, yes I cried, yes I cri-iiiii-iiiied'

BubblegumFactory · 09/02/2019 22:51

I'm with you Bubastes, Return of the Mack is a top tune!

DeaflySilence · 09/02/2019 22:51

"Hey Jude Can’t bear it. It gives me an image of earnest 1970’s Uni students"

Was Hey Jude not in the 1960's?

DPotter · 09/02/2019 22:51

Mull of Kintyre
I can suffer anything else but this...........

greenelephantscarf · 09/02/2019 22:55

lego movie - catchy song

disney - small world

AgentCooper · 09/02/2019 22:56

Oh God CatinMyLap anything by Jess Glynne. I just can’t stick her voice. That Hold My Hand song sounds like it was written for tampon advertising.

BartonHollow · 09/02/2019 22:57

I came here to say Come On Eileen and it's THE FIRST RESPONSE 😂

Fucking. The. Worst. Collection Of Songs?

Greatest Showman

Third Worst

And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going

Just sounds like screeching whoever is singing it and a song which glorifies low self esteem in relationships.

DrBuckles · 09/02/2019 23:03

My Sharona- I cannot listen to it, I hate it so much.

I haven’t heard an Ed Sheeran song I’ve liked ever and my son loves him- we share an Apple Music account and every week there seems to be an Ed Sheeran song in my ‘best of the week’ mix. Angry

SwingoutSisterSledge · 09/02/2019 23:05

ABC by The Jackson 5

BubblegumFactory · 09/02/2019 23:05

Barton have you ever seen Jennifer Holliday singing the original version? She was in the musical Dream girls and the lyrics make sense in the context of the story. There is a really old clip on YouTube and she is phenomenal. Not keen on it sung by anyone else, I'd have to agree but she absolutely rocks it!

WoollyMummoth · 09/02/2019 23:05

If you want me to leave a room at high speed it’s got to be Sinead O’Connor whinging “nothing compares to you” I’m fact anything Prince and his multiple personalities has had a hand in.God awful.

Bubastes · 09/02/2019 23:05

It might sound harsh but if I had a child who was an Ed Sheeran fan I'd wish them the best and then disown them. They'll only drag you down.
