Anything by Mika....Big girl you are beautiful!?! Yes. Thank you Mr Mika you patronising twat.

Imagine by John Lennon
Crush by Jennifer someone or other.

I'm very cross that our local radio station has been taken over and now plays the greatest hits from the 70's, 80's and 90's all the live long day. That's approximately 20 songs on a constant loop.

I've given up on the radio now.

@TheYellowOfTheEgg

I hate "Shape of You" by Ed Sheeran. My kids play it to annoy me.

I hate the lyrics about "I'm in love with your body", "I'm in love with the shape of you". She has no personality. She's just a body. Is that supposed to be romantic?

And also “my bedsheets smell like you” vom

Yeah, some people might see wit and irony, I just see smugness. They're the musical equivalent of a political student theatre group who wear anarchist symbols on their army surplus bags but get annoyed that their friends don't want to pay £15 to see their tedious, preachy installation pieces that are nowhere near as clever as they think they are.

EoinMcLovesCakeJumper · 04/09/2020 20:50

Argh. That last post was about the Beautiful South - I tried to quote someone and it didn't work.

Eyesofdisarray · 04/09/2020 21:07

Anything by ; Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith, Ellie Goulding (breathy +weird voice), Simply Red- dirge with a capital D

And "Happy'- no Pharrell; I don't want to sing along, I don't like it
'Imagine'
'Angels"
All of these mean a quick change of radio station

I forgot about the car keys. Wow what a date night!

Chocchoc2020 · 04/09/2020 21:18

So many songs already mentioned-

Happy
Anything by the Beautiful South
Angels (and all other Robbie songs)
Love Shack

Also anything by M People and Lighthouse Family. I’m allergic to their songs.

thewhitechair · 04/09/2020 21:21

Happy to see Dancing in the moonlight mentioned a few times! Hate it!

We are young by supergrass is one of my all-time least favourites for some reason. Cannot stand it.

Justgivemewine · 04/09/2020 21:40

@MadameBlobby

7 days or whatever it was called by Craig David
Anything by Craig David! Dull monotonous songs that all sound the same, with a vocal range of about 4 notes.
Pixilicious · 04/09/2020 21:46

Lola’s theme song by the shapeshifters. Hate with a passion

FunTimes2020 · 04/09/2020 23:06

Lots of fellow love shack haters! 👍
And so many people dislike Happy!
I thought of another awful one, its quite recent, I think top of the charts for a while and always on the radio...Old Town Road...yuk!!

Can’t believe how many times Come on Eileen has been mentioned. It’s a favourite of mine.

APJ1 · 05/09/2020 04:07

Don't Want To Miss a Thing - Aerosmith.

perfect ten by the beautiful south.

These two. Arrrrgh!

Heatherjayne1972 · 05/09/2020 04:27

Pussycat dolls - most of theirs especially ‘don’t ya’
Goteya -somebody I used to know’
Jess glyn -most of her songs are just terrible warbling
Coldplay - I’ve never liked anything of theirs either even though the radio think I should like the one about the king- viva la Vida I think it’s called They play it constantly

OutOntheTilez · 05/09/2020 05:00

American Pie - Don McLean
Hey Jude - Beatles
Living on a Prayer - Bon Jovi
Sweet Child of Mine - Guns 'n' Roses
Jump and Panama - Van Halen

I'm sure I'll have more.

Words cannot express the depth of my hatred of these songs.

mathanxiety · 05/09/2020 05:31

Beck - 'Girl'. Shutupshutupshutupshutupshutup...

Xanadu58 · 05/09/2020 05:39

Love shack
Mustang Sally
She sells sanctuary

There's probably more but that's the top 3 most hated

mathanxiety · 05/09/2020 05:41

Also, Black Eyed Peas - "Let's Get it Started'.

Wishingwell75 · 05/09/2020 05:41

The thing about this thread is that I now have "she's a perfect ten but she wears a twelve, dancing in the moonlight, see a painted sign by the side of the road, that says fifteen miles to the love sh...... I'm in love with the shape of you, push and pull like a magnet do...." running through my head like the world's worst mash up! I only came on here to try and outfox my insomnia, no chance of that now!😂 It's interesting how we all seem to dislike the same awful songs though.Wink

I just came on here to say "Perfect Ten" and it seems I AM NOT ALOOOOONE. Grin runs from room , screaming.

cloudbread · 05/09/2020 05:53

@babbi

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

Not sure if the name but the song about dancing monkey. It's quite new I think but when it comes on the radio I have to turn it off, it's such an annoying song.

wingingmywaythroughlife · 05/09/2020 06:08

9 to 5, I cringe when I hear it

Willowmartha1 · 05/09/2020 08:04

Angels
It's a kinda magic

MsTSwift · 05/09/2020 08:05

Omg op I was coming on to post bloody Love Shack! I leave a room if that’s on
