One week by the barenakedladies that's another that makes my teeth itch.

SophieGiroux · 03/09/2020 23:17

That one that says we are nothing but mammals so let's do it like they do on the discovery channel Envyvom!

Also Blurred Lines by Robin Thicke for obvious reasons Angry

Unchained Melody ....
Generally bewildered how anyone can listen to that without screaming in distress 🤷‍♀️

Southwestten · 03/09/2020 23:19

Ravel’s Bolero

Nandakanda · 03/09/2020 23:20

Anything by George Ezra, but especially Shotgun.

He is truly dire, and would not have got a pub gig 40 years ago.

Want to Want Me

It sounds like he's saying 'Got the shits on the floor', like he's had terrible diarrhoea!

Absolutely! I banned it at my wedding. Also had High Ho Silver Lining on that same list.

@Crunchymum

Pleasure At The Fairground, Simply Red.

Detest it beyond words.

Yes me tooSadfor some reason it actually makes me feel sick!

Also I cannot stand that flowers song by sweet female attitude? It was a garage track. I can't sit in a room with it on!

KobeWan · 03/09/2020 23:28

Also, for some reason, the chorus to Bulletproof gives me an instant headache.

WingingItSince1973 · 03/09/2020 23:31

Ah @KobeWan yes hate it when adverts do that to good tunes too! What a shame 😬

2anddone · 03/09/2020 23:33

Bohemian rhapsody really winds me up mainly because it is SO long that if it comes on the radio on my way to town I know chances are I will only hear 2 songs!!

Mummybiscuitx · 03/09/2020 23:35

Can we throw Barbie girl by aqua into there too!

Don't Want To Miss a Thing - Aerosmith.
Wake Up Boo - Boo Radleys I think, and Cool For Cats makes me want to rip my ears off. Awful shite.

tobee · 03/09/2020 23:50

@EasilyDeleted

Fairytale of New York.

This! Everyone says it's their favourite Christmas song. But it's not. They just say it because they think it makes them look world weary and cool.

Actually, I don't like it for no good reason but for very good reasons

Onefootinthegravy2020 · 03/09/2020 23:54

It has to be be Jason Derulos latest pile of 💩 take you dancing..... the lyrics are just pure sleeze coupled with the insanely annoying baby girls voice singing all the way through it......
Just pure crap plus I also hate dance with me monkey......what is it with songs now that have to have babyish voices going through them 😬

Mummyonline · 03/09/2020 23:55

Faith by George Michael

Shamoo · 03/09/2020 23:57

OP I am with you - when I saw the thread title it’s the first song that came into my head. Hate it!!

Also - Tainted Love, and Sweet Dreams.

Waferbiscuit · 04/09/2020 00:04

Any songs about self confidence. 'You're beautiful' by Christine aguilera. Firework by Katy Perry and 'don't be so hard on yourself' by Jess Glynne as well as her many other screechy songs. Dreadful.

itshappened · 04/09/2020 00:05

Whenever wherever by Shakira, I'm outta love by Anastasia, and perfect ten by the beautiful south.

UnitedRoad · 04/09/2020 00:06

I agree quite a lot of these are awful, but not as bad as Torn by Natalie Imbruglia - what a load of shit

I also detest The Beautiful South. Mostly Rotterdam, Don’t Marry Her, and that one with all the girls names in.
