Already mentioned but that New Radicals song makes my flesh crawl.

Willowmartha1 · 05/09/2020 11:47

Love the tune to the weekend I feel it coming but the lyrics are cringe !! 'Feel the heat between your legs' Eugh !!

Super Trouper and Thank you for the Music - ABBA. I love ABBA and feel ashamed I hate these songs so much

Baker Street - Gerry Rafferty I hate it with a passion. We have smooth radio on at work at its always played around 4pm I have to leave the office

Dreams - Gabrielle. Unfortunately its on The Magnolia soundtrack which I absolutely love

Fairground And Stars - Simply Red (like some of their other songs)

Rule the World - Take That

It's on Radio 2 now - Give Peace A Chance by The Plastic Ono Band. Not John Lennon's finest hour. I've switched the radio off.

Oh and Dido, White Flag - if you're not depressed before you sure as hell will be after

KylieKangaroo · 05/09/2020 14:10

That shadows song by Gaga from that film? It was on every day on the radio last year at work!

OutOntheTilez · 05/09/2020 14:13

Thought of some more.

Who Let the Dogs Out - Baha Men
Mambo No. 5 - Lou Bega
Livin' la Vida Loca - Ricky Martin

And yes, Love Shack.

The Spin Doctors - Two Princes. 4Non Blondes- What's Going On
Toplader - Dancing in the Moonlight.

RingtheBells · 05/09/2020 14:18

All of the Beatles songs

Pharrell Williams' Happy gives me the absolute rage. Can't stand it

JadesRollerDisco · 05/09/2020 14:21

Ed Sheerans voice makes me irrationally angry. I used to like his music, but both I and the radio over played him for the better part of the decade. I would rather listen to baby shark on repeat than Ed.

wendywoopywoo222 · 05/09/2020 14:24

Geno
Come on Eileen
99 red balloons
Anything by Simply Red
Anything by Michael Jackson

Elsiebear90 · 05/09/2020 14:25

Anything by Ed Sheeran tbh. Welcome to the black parade-my chemical romance and anything by Jess Glynne.

OutOntheTilez · 05/09/2020 16:26

Born in the USA and Glory Days by Bruce Springsteen. O.k., anything by Bruce Springsteen. What a bad American I am.

MrsBudd · 05/09/2020 16:33

Another vote for Perfect 10 beautiful South. It came on the radio earlier and I got the rage!

Dandelionflower · 05/09/2020 16:46

Fairground.
Anything by Jamiriqui.

everythingbackbutyou · 05/09/2020 17:38

Anything that would send people flocking to the dance floor at a wedding reception is pretty much off the menu for me. @OutOntheTilez has started my all time hate list already.

jaimebravo · 05/09/2020 17:48

Anything by Simply Red, Ed Sheerin, Lighthouse family or M-People, I just can't bare them.

Riv12345 · 05/09/2020 19:03

All Beyoncé songs

AngeloMysterioso · 05/09/2020 19:05

That Dance Monkey song that’s always on the radio atm.

She’s not singing, she’s attempting to communicate with wildlife. Badly.

nevernotstruggling · 05/09/2020 19:18

Beautiful south songs after they changed the singer. That don't marry her song makes me rage

stopchewingeverything · 06/09/2020 06:13

We are the champions by Queen. So irritating!!

KatherineJaneway · 06/09/2020 06:27

Don't look back in anger Oasis. Utter drivel.

Peridot1 · 06/09/2020 06:31

Some of my favourite songs on these lists! Grin. In fact I might use this thread to make a Spotify playlist.

Mine is I Just Called To Say I Love You but Stevie Wonder. Hate hate hate it. Also Ebony and Ivory by Stevie Wonder and Paul McCartney. They are both awful dirges. Ugh.

toiletpaper · 06/09/2020 06:39

Mine are:

Toploader - dancing in the moonlight
New radicals - you get what you give
Stardust - music sounds better with you

There's a few more I can't think of right now but I absolutely hate these songs and feel disgusted if I HAVE to listen to them 🤣 (work radio etc)
