Well you are my kind of people so far as I don't like any of the songs mentioned except Imagine, I quite like that one!

Also cannot stand most europop songs... Top of the list is I'm blue by Eiffel65!!! Makes me want to scream.

Crunchymum · 03/09/2020 23:06

Pleasure At The Fairground, Simply Red.

Detest it beyond words.

KobeWan · 03/09/2020 23:08

Don't stop me now. 🤬

DrEllie · 03/09/2020 23:09

Agree with previous posters, Gold brings me out in hives (and the bloody adverts that pastiche it)

nevernotstruggling · 03/09/2020 23:10

All Ed Sheeran and that twat james Arthur and that other one sam smith

WingingItSince1973 · 03/09/2020 23:10

@KobeWan thats my all time fave song. Really lifts me up ha ha. I absolutely hate with a passion Tainted Love. I literally have to leave a room or turn it off. Cant stand it. Gives me the creeps x

shreddednips · 03/09/2020 23:11

Also can't stand The Greatest Day by take that, I Wanna Dance with Somebody, and Valerie by Any Winehouse

DemiBourbon · 03/09/2020 23:11

Sowing the Seeds of Love and Harvest for the World, not sure why but they irritate me so much!

Mummybiscuitx · 03/09/2020 23:12

@DemiBourbon Harvest for the world 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

shreddednips · 03/09/2020 23:13

Oh and Happy by Pharrell Williams does not make me happy 🤬

KobeWan · 03/09/2020 23:13

@WingingItSince1973
The Trafford Centre used it relentlessly on their TV campaigns for at least ten years and it's ruined the song for a lot of people who live in the Granada region. I am one of those people! 🤪
