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

Touch Me - Sam Fox
I suffer( for no good reason) from refrains from random songs wh8ch play in my head on loop.
This is one of them. 😑I might actually do her physical harm if I met her😂

Kasabian - Eezeh. Usually don't mind them and DH is a huge fan but both in agreement that it's an awful song!

Ting Tings - That's Not My Name.

Can't Get You Out of my Head by Kylie Minogue. This song is capable of changing my mood from one of serene contentment to one of utter gloom and hopelessness within the first few dreary beats.

cauliflowersqueeze · 10/02/2019 09:47

Cotton Eyed Joe

I feel it in my fingers

Fernando (ABBA)

CaptainJaneway62 · 10/02/2019 10:53

Anything by Oasis!
Anything by Robbie Williams!
Anything by David Grey!
Anything by Neil Young!
The Birdy Song...now that is a waste of vinyl!
American Pie by Don McLean!

blueangel1 · 10/02/2019 11:04

Anything that's categorised as a "novelty song", they're all shite.

Kazzyhoward · 10/02/2019 11:05

Got to be Pogues Fairytail in New York. Hideous song.

NellyTimes · 10/02/2019 11:09

Not really the point, but the Hollies didn't sing Ferry Cross The Mersey, it was Gerry and the Pacemakers.

GoldenWonderwall · 10/02/2019 11:18

Modern songs where the female singer(s) are excessively submissive and grateful for sex/love off some arsehole. Especially when sung in pants and a bra. ‘Work’ is one that springs to mind. An awful message to peddle to girls.

mmmm25 · 10/02/2019 11:21

Can't believe no one has mentioned Alice, Alice- the Roy Chubby Brown version that was played & sung non-stop.. makes me feel irrationally violent when I hear it.

lubeybooby · 10/02/2019 11:42

A man's world

Don't wanna miss a thing

Mr Brightside

Wonderwall

Unfaithful (Rhianna)

MrsDandBaby19 · 10/02/2019 11:43

That 'sweet but a psycho' song. I can't even cope when I hear it. I get so enraged 😂😂😂

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 10/02/2019 11:44

Anything by Bjork ( I cannot remember the song, something like "Birthday" and one "Its Oh So Quiet" )

She sounds like a cat being castrated and the analgesic hasn't taken. Angry

Makes me wince just hearing her voice

Pinnacular · 10/02/2019 11:50

I can't believe no-ones mentioned my all time most hated song... Sweet Caroline. Nothing else comes close in making me feel stabby.

ManonBlackbeak · 10/02/2019 12:50

I can't help but think that these people who are saying anything by Queen/Abba/TheBeatles/Oasis/Elvis must have the shittest taste in music ever. And more to the point, what the hell do you actually listen to?

OutOntheTilez · 10/02/2019 13:26

I agree with what others have said about Hotel California and Firework.

Hotel California by the Eagles. Every classic rock radio station I listen to has played it to death. I love the Eagles and all of their other material, but there is no describing the depths of my hatred for this song.

Firework by Katy Perry. Every time she yells, “Baby, you’re a firework,” it almost makes me want to listen to Hotel California. Almost.

There was another Van Halen song I couldn’t think of last night that's as bad as Jump. It’s Panama. Those two songs ruined Van Halen for me.

Pretty much anything by Bon Jovi from their most popular album. The only song I can maybe stand by them is Runaway from an earlier album. Again, overplayed, overplayed, overplayed.

Anything by Bruce Springsteen. That may mean I have the shittiest taste in music, but I really never grasped the appeal there.

BitchQueen90 · 10/02/2019 13:33

Anything by Ariana Grande. Her voice sounds like a cat being dragged through a bush backwards.

greendale17 · 10/02/2019 13:34

Cornershop- Brimful of Asher
Deep blue something- Breakfast at Tiffanys
New Radicals- Get what you give
Come on Eileen- don’t know who sang it and don’t care

BitchQueen90 · 10/02/2019 13:35

Oh and that fucking George Ezra song - "home grown alligator, see you later" - what????

SoSaidTheHorse · 10/02/2019 13:47

Anything used in a John Lewis Christmas advert.

Arnoldillo · 10/02/2019 14:05

Thanks for the info re ferry across the Mersey.

One more recent one that freaks me out more than annoys me is the new Westlife song where they sing "perfect teeth hair growing where it's meant to" because I immediately pictured one of those cysts with hair and teeth and now that's all I see every time I hear it. Envy Envy

I mean, it's shit anyway, especially given that the evidence of Sheero is strong eg the usual trick of giving agency to body parts. But hairy toothy cysts push me over the edge.

Bubastes · 10/02/2019 14:11

RedHatsDoNotSuitMe I loved your rapturous defence of The Air That I Breathe! It's made me look at the song in a whole new light and I'll think of it whenever I hear the song from now on Grin

RomanyQueen1 · 10/02/2019 14:12

Any Beatles songs, Shadap your face, da Da Da and the likes.

TheLastQueenOfPop · 10/02/2019 14:21

I fucking love Paul Heaton but even I can't imagine The Beautiful South as sex music. Fucks sake.

I think just for pure banging head on desk piss off already qualities Dancing Queen by ABBA is the worst. Or Ed "on the radio at work ten times a fucking day" Sheehan. Or almost anything by Beyoncé.

LetsGoFlyAKiteee · 10/02/2019 14:27

Ed sheera-shape of you. Awful song and so overplayed! Even in nights out. Its not a dancing song!

Plus Castle on the Hill when talking about people use to know.. Their lives ohhh ones this and one's that. Not they're all having a lovely life just one overdosed and whatever

Greatest Showman. Didn't mind the film but the overplayedness and the screechy cover versions. Nope
