Songs that should be banned from radio request shows

139 replies

I love a radio listeners request show for opportunities to hear long forgotten but amazing songs.

I find it such a wasted opportunity when people ring in and ask for the same, obvious things and if i was the host, I would have a ban list. First song on it would be:

Don't Stop Me Now by Queen

Any others to add?

Anything by Adele or the nasal one that sings on the jet2 advert

SirChenjins · 22/05/2022 14:51

Walking on Sunshine

Anything by Oasis

Ditto Sam Smith

Love Shack. Should definitely be long forgotten.

Every time it's on I think, 'why don't you at least ask for My Own Private Idaho you massively boring twats'.

Justcashnosweets · 22/05/2022 18:25

' I've had the time of my life' from Dirty Dancing. That song can fuck right off.

HobnobsChoice · 22/05/2022 18:29

Angels by Robbie Fucking Williams.
Never has a song made me feel less angelic and heavenly. The lyrics are just absolute bollocks and the tune is dross.
I'd ban it from everywhere ever.

Chesney Hawkes - one and only. Dick.
