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

OMG:
I remember finding The air that I breathe by The Hollies unbelievably dreary and annoying as a child
sagradafamiliar Being different is good... I think this is one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded. I've never heard anything that captures the post coital mood so gorgeously and accurately. This song is absolutely orgasmic to me! That whole intro which (to me) is just recovering from having your brains fucked out of you 30 seconds ago... i find it absolutely beautiful and honest.

Lucky we're not all the same!!!!

Frankie

American Pie – Don McLean
Paradise City, Sweet Child of Mine – anything by Guns N' Roses, really
Jump – Van Halen
I Will Always Love You, I Wanna Dance With Somebody, and How Will I Know – Whitney Houston
La Vida Loca – Ricky Martin
Mambo No. 5 – Lou Bega
Hey Jude – The Beatles

Gee, there are so many. I can't pick just one.

Don't worry, the take that tune has nothing to do with guns + roses. It is monumentally shit though. They pronounce it "pay-shunsss". And that isn't even the worst thing about it, the cunts.

sagradafamiliar · 10/02/2019 01:04

Red I just googled the lyrics as only the chorus springs to mind, I wouldn't have known it was about being shagged out. I just remember hearing it on an ad as a kid and instantly hating it. Same way I loathe so or can do without so many others mentioned here, with the exception of a few which I quite love! Lucky we're not all the same indeed!

sagradafamiliar · 10/02/2019 01:06

No idea why I typed that 'so' 😬

safariboot · 10/02/2019 01:06

Blurred Lines. It's devoid of any musical merit or interest, and the lyrics are unacceptable.

Anything by Busted. I just can't stand their sound.

Opera singers with excessive vibrato, which seems to be most of them.

Drogosnextwife · 10/02/2019 01:08

My partner considers himself an 80's child (he's not as far as I'm concerned because he was born in 88 so can't remember anything from the bloody 80's) he plays a lot of the songs mentions on this thread on a Saturday morning, meatloaf, Cindy lauper and a few of the other songs on here. Sometimes I feel like sticking a knitting needle through my ears just so I don't have to listen to it anymore!

RedHatsDoNotSuitMe · 10/02/2019 01:08

Arnoldillo thank you. I was worried.

#sagradafamiliar I just had to listen to The Air That I Breath on Youtube after your post. It's the most glorious song about perfect sex ever. It's about sex. Having had great sex. How could anyone hate it??? It's loving, it's exhausted, it's spent, it's contented, it's loving. He's watching her sleep and glorying in the time they've just had!
i t i s j u s t a p e r f e c t s o n g
I'm slightly upset that you hate it!

RedHatsDoNotSuitMe · 10/02/2019 01:09

p.s. I put more spaces in than posted!

sagradafamiliar · 10/02/2019 01:10

Life is a rollercoaster. Hate it on a visceral level. And that other one he did, You say it best when you say nothing at all....the cheeky twat!

Drogosnextwife · 10/02/2019 01:10

I have a lost so long I couldn't possibly write them all but Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston are probably top of singers I hate, closely followed by all pop boy and girl bands, they are all fucking atrocious!

Arnoldillo · 10/02/2019 01:11

Honestly never knew that about that Hollies tune before. You live and learn, eh? So what's the subtext behind Ferry Across the Mersey? Filthy beggars.

sagradafamiliar · 10/02/2019 01:15

Well I just intensely dislike it, Red. I'm not going to pick up on anyone's irrational dislikes I disagree with, it's a light hearted thread!

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 10/02/2019 01:15

I would listen to Rollercoaster and You Say It Best on a loop if Ronan K apologised for defiling Fairytale of New York ( you're cheap and you're haggard) nooooooo

He needs a slap for meddling.

RedHatsDoNotSuitMe · 10/02/2019 01:15

Ferry Across the Mersey is just naff (or should that be 'cross) Arnoldillo as is He Ain't Heavy.

But Air That I Breathe is sooooo beautiful!

sagradafamiliar · 10/02/2019 01:18

He did WHAT? 70 what a travesty. He's a wrong'un that Ronan.

Arnoldillo · 10/02/2019 01:19

Ah ok I thought it was maybe another mad sex act reference.

Fudgecakes · 10/02/2019 01:19

By a country mile it has to be....hands down... the god awful, sexist, patronising, stomach churning.....Thong Song 🤮.....hate it so much. It makes my ears bleed, gives me the rage, makes me seriously depressed all in equal measures. Has to have been written by a seroously sleazy pervy guy. Bluerrgghh!!!

DrCristinaYang · 10/02/2019 01:21

Yellow Diamonds - Rihanna
Happy - Pharell Williams
Cheerleader

Arnoldillo · 10/02/2019 01:23

LOL he sang it at his wedding. Because that's what you do, right, with the woman you love, on your wedding day, in front of everyone you both know and her dad and everything. You sing thong song at her and then you cut the cake.

sagradafamiliar · 10/02/2019 01:25

The thong song 😂 what a blast from the past. Not forgetting the utterly charming follow-up, Unleash the dragon

Fudgecakes · 10/02/2019 01:26

Eh? Who sang it at their wedding....seriously?? The guy who recorded it?? Nooooo 😲...it would be divorce.....how us that ever right???

Arnoldillo · 10/02/2019 01:32

Swear to God:

Fudgecakes · 10/02/2019 01:39

OMG....as if it could get any more sleazy....I didn't think I could possibly hate it any more than I did...but I do. I can just imagine my dad's face at my wedding reception if dh had pulled such a stunt....he'd have been wearing the top tier on his head!! How crass 😱
