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?

Anything by Michael Buble....he was overplayed on the radio and played constantly everywhere (shop, restaurants etc.) for a few years, whenever I here him now I get the rage.

Happy by Pharrell Williams.
Higher Love by Whitney Houston, especially the current remix. No escaping it.
No Charge by J.J. Barrie. Bleurgh !!
Anything by George Ezra.
The entire playlists of Capital, Heart, Kiss and Radio1. Forever.

If I think of more I shall try to remember to post them here.

The Boy does Nothing by Alesha Dixon. HATE it!

We are young by supergrass

golddustwomen · 16/09/2019 09:10

Anything by Michael buble.
To be honest I don't like most of the pop shit played on the radio.
But the pp who said beautiful south and manics... I have no words !!Grin

I hate My Sherona, Sweet Home Alabama and Achey Breaky Heart. They all give me RAGE.

cheesenpickles · 16/09/2019 09:18

Oh and Proud Mary!

Daffodil2018 · 16/09/2019 10:46

That song Cheerleader. World's most sexist lyrics. Basically saying the ideal woman is one who just looks pretty on the sidelines cheering on her man. Hmm

Deathraystare · 16/09/2019 10:49

That 'Royal' song.

schnubbins · 16/09/2019 11:02

Someday Baby We Will Be Old no idea who its from but that is essentially the only line in the song over and over again.Makes me want to scream

Happy Pharrell Williams so overplayed.I change stations when it comes on

All those songs in Spanish that are released every year just in time for summer and played non stop. for example Despasito .

Born on The USA just screeching

Everything from Taylor Swift and Beyonce yuck!

Sammysquiz · 16/09/2019 11:07

Anything played on Heart. They have such a ridiculously small playlist and I hate them all!

AmIChangingagain · 16/09/2019 11:25

Anything that Jess Glynn baaaaahs like a flat sheep

How she got a recording contract is one of life's mysteries

FiercyMacFierceFace · 16/09/2019 11:29

Sister Sledge ‘Frankie’ - ‘You were fifteen, I was twelve, It was summer we were so in love’ - lyrics annoy me immensely!

SinkGirl · 16/09/2019 11:33

Anything by Manic Street Preachers. Dreary beige music.

YABVVVVVU. Nothing about MSP was dreary or beige until they got old. Lately, they are dire.

You’re Gorgeous, Tubthumping and Blurred Lines are my most detested songs ever.

Goodnightjude1 · 16/09/2019 11:37

Anything by the Bee Gees 😡

Sweet Caroline.....

I’ve met her, she isn’t sweet.

Disfordarkchocolate · 16/09/2019 11:39

Ellie Goulding generally but particularly Army. So badly sung.

WildRosie · 16/09/2019 12:23

A Whiter Shade Of Pale - Procol Harum. Overrated pile of horse manure.

You Just Might See Me Cry - Our Kid. Eww.

Rock Bottom - Mike Moran and Lynsey De Paul. No, no, no.

Come On Eileen. Twee rubbish.

misspiggy19 · 16/09/2019 12:27

Everything but the girl- Missing
Pharell Williams- Happy
Cornershop- Brimful of Asher
Coldplay- Fix you

misspiggy19 · 16/09/2019 12:29

The Killers- Mr Brightside
Kings of Leon- Sex on fire

SeaWitchly · 16/09/2019 13:05

Baby voiced and repetitive 'Thank you, next' by Ariana Grande.
Just dreadful.

beatriceprior · 16/09/2019 13:09

Katy Perry - firework

SoundofSilence · 16/09/2019 14:14

Thanks for the reminder about Don't Stop Believing, allthegoodusernameshavegone . Aargh! The radio goes off with prejudice before it gets to the word 'town'.

Heatherjayne1972 · 16/09/2019 14:27

Jolene by Dolly Parton - leave them to it my lovely. You can do better
She needs to look on the relationship thread!

PrincessandthePeach · 16/09/2019 14:38

A lot, but the ones coming to mind are;
Happy - Pherell Williams, one of the most annoying songs, can't listen to it.
Cheerleader - so overplayed
Anything by Jess Glynne, but especially Hold My Hand. From the Jet2 ad and apparently they play it on a loop for the whole flight.
