Songs that irritate the crap out of you?

[lucysmam]

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

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

That passenger song, only know you love her when you let her go.

If you only knew you loved her after you let her go, how did you also love her too much and fall too deep? It's packaged up as some sad beautiful love song but the reality is that he dated her, probably shagged her a few times, wouldn't commit to her in case someone better came along, then when she got bored of his game playing and dumped him he decided that in actual fact she was actually quite nice and changed his mind- only to find he was too late. Boo fucking hoo.

Gives me the right rages I tell you.

Also - cheerleader 'do they make you feel like cheating?' 'Err no, not really' (least committal answer ever). The entire song is all about him and how great she makes him feel and all the benefits to him- not one line about her. Vile.

All about the bass- hideous, body shaming rubbish- and it's ok to be bigger because men like women with big backsides to hold onto when they have sex with them (paraphrase!), and the god awful 'dear future husband' with the line 'and you'll never see your family more than mine'

One fine day- I always thought this was a jolly 60's bop along tune, until I listened to the lyrics properly. One fine day, you're going to want me to be your girl, (but only after you've shagged around a bit and don't worry I'm just waiting here for that amazing day) - I hope above hope that it was written with a wry smile and a deep sense of irony, but I somehow doubt.

To be honest, most pop music is horrible when you actually listen to the lyrics.

Anything that wedding DJs whack on when people are reluctant to be the first ones on the dance floor and they've been told they have to get the party going. So:

Crazy in Love by Beyonce
Hey Ya by Outkast
Happy by Pharrell Williams
Uptown Funk by Bruno Mars
Come on Eileen by the Dexys

I associate all of them with a bunch of pissed up aunties in fascinators screeching "Wooooo!" and stampeding onto the dance floor, pausing only to take their shoes off and leave them in a heap next to the amp.

I also hate that stupid Blue song by Eiffel 65, and anything featuring shouty men and handclaps and people going "woo", like Best Day of My Life by American Authors and Oh My Love by The Score.

Jess Glyn, Take Me Home, and repeated constantly on Jet 2 flights, why, oh, why??, totally awful, someone said on here she sounded like a flat sheep, she does indeed, one that is in its dying moments!
Simply the Best- Tina Turner, God, how I hate this, played in every social club in the land and sung along to by every drunk tuneless old git
Every wedding song list, Come on Eileen, New York New York, Mr Brightside, Angels, Birdy Song et al

Seen previous poster has also stated the Jess Glynne song I meant, think we all agree whatever it's bloody called its shit :)

YMCA

I once got sent home from work by my colleagues after having a hissy fit at having to listen to two Beach Boys songs in a row

Did you make your excuses and say ‘well it’s been building up inside of me for, oh, I don’t know how long’

Jamie Lawson 'I wasn't expecting that', overblown sentimental tuneless dirgy claptrap.
Stereophonics 'Graffiti on the Train', as above!
But I will defend Dolly Parton's 'Jolene' to my last breath!

I didn't expect so many responses, I'll have a read shortly! I expect there are more than the Taylor Swift one but that prompted me to post.

The safety dance

Moloko Bring it back, sing it back bring it back and off it fucks.
Deelite groove is in the heart.
Both of those songs make me absolutely furious with the awful ‘tunes’ and drossy droney repetition. Hate them with an absolute passion.

In no particular order of loathing and hatred:-

Constant craving (cannnt stand graavvyy)
Don't get me wrong - The pretenders
Gypsy woman - Crystal Waters
Coco jambo insane song from 90's 'pick me up spin me round put my feet back on the ground take my heart and make me happy' or some utter mindless shit.

I hate everything by Jess Glyn except that makeup on Thursdays or whatever. That one's tolerable.

House every weekend 'I work hard' wtaf

Yy to Robbie Twatting Williams arrogant knob.

Robin Thicke 'blurred lines' it's a date rape song ffs.

That bloody song 'you make me feel brand new' with the long intro from the 80s I reckon. Makes me want to scream.

Belfast child - simple minds
Orinocho flow - Enya
My neck my back my pussy and my crack. Urgghhh. Really.

Baby shark fuck offfff
Shout lulu welllllllllllllll you make me wanna punch you. Hard.

Celine Dion and the beegees immortality. Just kill the song already.

Chico - all of his 'classics'

I see you baby shaking that ass.

Brand new heavies - midnight at the oasis and dream on dreamer haaaate those songs.

Show me love - Robin S overplayed 'classic'

Love me right - Angel City

Evacuate the dance floor

Blue Monday howww does it feel - monotonous.

Rotterdam - The Beautiful South

Rhianna and Paul McCartney 4.5 seconds

Cotton eyed Joe

The ketchup song

I know I'll think of more.

Taylor Swift
Hey kids spelling is fun Ooohhhh eee
Shaggy
It wasnt me (well yes yes it was)
Baby shark
Heart ♥ Pink jesus walk me home in the dead of night gives me rage

Those two Louis Capaldi songs or whatever the fuck he is called, with the two shit depressing songs about used to being someone you loved and hold you while you wait, that have been played constantly on EVERY FUCKING SINGLE CUNTING STATION ON EARTH for the last six months.

My hand flies to the off button quicker than the speed of light. I cannot stand either of them!

Also anything by that boring, tuneless Camilla woman.

Thirty years ago, anyone with the talent of today's hitmakers would have been laughed out of the recording studio, had they been allowed anywhere near a recording facility in the first place.

3 nights - just can not stand it.
Despasito, really don’t get the appeal
Senorita - the same it’s shit.

Oh that god awful minestrone song by 10cc

Driving home for Christmas inexplicably fills me with rage whenever I hear it

George Ezra Shotgun, hate it.

Take That - I don't even know what it's called 'Today this could be the greatest day'.

That other Take That song (you, you're looking pretty good to me) don't know what it's called (Shine?) or if it's the same song where they're dancing in pastel coloured tuxes and dickie bows. Just stop it.

I believe I can Fly

Mambo Number 5

Robbie Williams - Candy

M People 'What have you done today to make you feel proud'?

Savage Garden - The Affirmation song. Any Savage Garden song.

Evanescence - Bring me to Life

The Lighthouse Family - any

Maroon 5 - any because the singer loves himself

Follow the/me Leader

Walking on Sunshine - KC and the Sunshine Band

Just Wana Dance the Night Away - The Mavericks

Ugh for me it's "Just the way you are"

I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I love you just the way you are

Fuck off calling me stupid you patronising arsehole!

Imagine someone saying they've written a song about you and he says that in the lyrics... such a dick move!

Oh and Natasha Bedingfield "These Words"

Because in it hyperbole is pronounced "hyper bowl".

Tbh it's not even her, I always feel annoyed that nobody in production, marketing etc for the song told her it was wrong!

I mean you'd think Daniel would have had a word at least...

Celebrate by Kool and the gang. I've hated it right from being a child, it makes me cringe and I don't know why!

I thought of more:

La Vida Loca - Ricky Martin - This was SO overplayed in its day.

Mambo Number 5 - Lou Bega - So was this.

Love Shack - B52s - Everyone I knew loved this song. I never understood why.

Firework - Katy Perry - When she screeches "Baby, you're a firework" I want to rip my ears off.

Ditto that "Call me maybe" song by whoever.

Gotta Get Through This and If You’re Not The One by Daniel Bedingfield
