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?

Someone's knocking on your door, somebody's ringing the bell from the postcode lottery advert!

Anything by simply red Angry

qwertytrewq · 15/09/2019 23:30

I'm so picky about music but the biggies have got to be …
Come on Eileen : the wedding anthem 🙄
Practically anything by Ed Sheeren (probably spelt his name wrong : don't care)
Anything by pink
New oasis stuff (by new I mean anything after definitely maybe!)
I could go on … but I won't

Don’t stop believing.... grrrr, about 10 years ago a cast of pretentious Twats from Glee squealed it and released it and every radio station played it, now I can’t even listen to the original by Journey without wanting to smash my head against the radio.

teachandsleep · 15/09/2019 23:37

Toxic by Britney Spears! Arggggggg

Sarcelle · 15/09/2019 23:40

Shine Bright Like a Diamond, Rihanna

Shoulda, woulda, coulda - think that is what it's called by ? Female singer

A song by Dua Lipo (so?) and Calvin Harris, One Kiss

Send in the Clowns, think it is from a Stephen Sondheim musical.

The latest by Craig David is a contenter - Did you miss me much

wannabebetter · 15/09/2019 23:44

That Bruno Mars one about 'I Think I Wanna Marry You' bugs the shit out of me - ok it's a beautiful night and you've been drinking 'dancing juice' but seriously.....

Sunflower20 · 15/09/2019 23:47

Everything by Ed Sheeran, Anne Marie and the Jonas Brothers - I have to turn the radio off immediately when they come on.

Sunflower20 · 15/09/2019 23:50

And that stupid song Old Town Road with Billy Ray Cyrus....ohhhhhhh myyyyyyy goddddddddddd it makes me want to poke myself in the eye.

bionicnemonic · 15/09/2019 23:54

Anything at all by Gerry Cinnamon. So banal

Faez · 15/09/2019 23:56

Lacazettes are you me

Frangible · 16/09/2019 00:00

Lady Gaga’s version of ‘La vie en rose’ from A Star is Born — apart from anything else, she slaughters French and her mispronunciation alters the first line from ‘Eyes that make mine look down’ to ‘Eyes that fuck mine’. Grr.

fergusthefrog · 16/09/2019 00:29

Happy by pharrell Williams makes me want to whack myself over the head continuously until it ends. It's dreadful. Nothing remotely happy about it apart from when it ends abruptly

Drogosnextwife · 16/09/2019 00:34

This thread has made me realise how many songs I hate. It's giving me the rage because I'm singing each one in my head while I read them.

My dp was obsessed with him for a while. Everytime we got in the car he would turn his pishy songs on. It was a terrible few months for our relationship.

Notwiththeseknees · 16/09/2019 00:41

You're Gorgeous by Babybird. The lyrics the droning mewl. Gives me the absolute rage & the radio now goes off at the first hint.

LadyGAgain · 16/09/2019 00:43

Come on Eileen gives me rage.

Saturday by Whigfield

Ibiza - Vengaboys. In fact anything by them.

Leave right now - Will Young. Leave. Just bloody well leave.

Lonely - Akon AKA Alvin and the Chipmunks

Young at heart - ears bleed

Anything by Mumford and Sons

Brown eyed girl

Man, I feel like a woman - what a shitty, cheap play on words

All "action" songs. Think agadoo, Macarena, cotton eyed joe,

All songs by B*witched

Gosh. That's a list.

elaine26 · 16/09/2019 00:54

Anything by Jess Glynn gets turned off instantly (cannot stand her) and Marylin Manston murdered tainted love... Wish he would run away

There's a song about wanting to catch fish except that's it's 'feels' pronounced weirdly on purpose. Twice as annoying because I know they wrote it that way to be annoying on purpose. Grrrr.
Also any song about being helplessly in love with a psycho/monster/arsehole but being totally unable to do anything about it because you're so in lurve. Just LTB already.

OutOntheTilez · 16/09/2019 01:12

My most hated songs -- in no particular order:

American Pie - Don McLean
Hey Jude - The Beatles
Born in the USA - Bruce Springsteen
Sweet Child of Mine and Paradise City - Guns 'n' Roses
Who Let the Dogs Out - Baha Men

Words cannot convey the depths of my hatred of these songs. Angry Can't stand any of them.

SteveHarringtonsHair · 16/09/2019 01:27

Love shack.
Another favourite of crap party DJ’s.
This song was out when I was a teen and I couldn’t bear it then either. He has such an odd sounding voice and with her screeching along, it just makes me shudder.

BethanyGilbert · 16/09/2019 07:07

Can’t get you out of my head by Kylie.
Dancing in the moonlight by Toploader

emmetgirl · 16/09/2019 07:10

All Christmas songs 😡
Anything by the spice girls
Anything by Rod Stewart.

whizzpopbangalang · 16/09/2019 07:47

New York by Alicia Keys, the slow version - soooo whiney!
