For me it's Taylor Swift's 'Gorgeous'...no reason other than it annoys me with the stupid "ting" triangle thing. Dd1's scrolling Youtube atm & has put it on just to wind me up Hmm

What songs irritate you...just because they do?

Girls just wanna have fun...makes me want to sit in the corner sulking just to prove the song wrong

4 non blondes What's Up... it was considered some kind of anthem during my teenage years but I hated it then & will turn the radio off if it comes on now

WalkersAreNotTheOnlyCrisps · 15/09/2019 22:06

The theme song from Orange is.the new black, don't think a song has irritated me more.

Blankspace4 · 15/09/2019 22:07

Most Adele songs do (aside from her first Chasing Pavements album). Dreary, bland, over rated and worse still - over-played.

Set fire to the rain is the WORST!!! Confused

That bloody song Africa by Toto. Contains the most pretentious line ever written in a song
‘As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti’
Insufferable twits.

Proud Mary. Absolutely hate it

novasglowx · 15/09/2019 22:15

Pretty much everything on the radio these days. It's not music. No wonder Slipknot and Tool are doing so well in the charts without being broadcast to the masses. Real music, real talent.

Quite a few of Ed Sheeran's songs irritate me, particularly the duet ones (Perfect, Don't Care, Beautiful People). I remember when the Beyonce version of Perfect was out it was ALWAYS on the radio, one day I was doing the school run and it came onto my preferred radio station, so I switched to another and it was on that too. Angry

Drunk in love by Beyonce (and nearly everything else she sings but this is the worst by far). It gives me the most irrational rage. She sounds off her face frankly and far too up her own ego.

Soola · 15/09/2019 22:21

Beyoncé sounds like a cat being strangled.

Galway girl I think is by Ed Sheerin, it is dire.

Most modern songs are crap.

Little Mix is just a cacophony of howling, screeching and yelling.

I prefer music from yesteryear.

PrincessHoneysuckle · 15/09/2019 22:23

The lazy song by bruno Mars.Prick!!

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 15/09/2019 22:25

Happy.... by Pharell Williams.
I don’t doubt I’ll think of more and will be back, with a vengeance WinkGrin

SandyGusset · 15/09/2019 22:26

Shaggy "it wasn't me"

Heart radio bloody love this shit song
I hate it with the passion and fire of a thousand suns.

BlackAmericanoNoSugar · 15/09/2019 22:29

I'd forgotten Dreadlock Holiday by 10cc. There was one summer about 5 years ago that it just kept being played in shops and cafes, I felt like I couldn't ever escape it. There's a key change in it that makes me want to violently smash up the speakers for some weird reason.

Dangerous love by Ariana grandma. 😬😬😬😬😬😬😬

bakedbeanzontoast · 15/09/2019 22:31

*woman sorry not love

BornInAThunderstorm · 15/09/2019 22:31

Cake by the Ocean. Just so fucking stupid.

BillywilliamV · 15/09/2019 22:32

I cannot bear Ariana Grande, why does the silly cow have to swear? Does she not realise that her target demographic are still in primary school??

Soola · 15/09/2019 22:35

Maroon 5 Sugar.

Awful.

keepingbees · 15/09/2019 22:36

Ed Sheeran, Galway Girl, Castle on the hill and Shape of you. All overplayed crap and the words grate on me.

Maroon 5 songs.

thesurreyyouth · 15/09/2019 22:37

Breakfast at Tiffany’s- I cant bear it

babypossum · 15/09/2019 22:39

Lovely Day by Bill Withers.

Lacazettes · 15/09/2019 22:40

Daniel Powter Bad Day
The Fray How to save a life
Any song by Jason Mraz

BringTheBounceBack · 15/09/2019 22:41

that divinyls song I touch myself

JennyStarpepper · 15/09/2019 22:42

Anything by The Beautiful South. Awful.

Anything by Manic Street Preachers. Dreary beige music.

Birdhouse in your soul by They Might be Giants - just hideous and repetitive.
I have to turn the radio off if it ever comes on.
