I quite often have a song that will make me change radio channel when it comes on

This month it's Music for a Sushi Restaurant by Harry Styles, I don't know what it is about the song but my left hand just snakes out and punches a different pre-set on the car radio whenever I hear it. All of his other songs have been ok-ish up to now.

Last month it was Afraid to Feel by LF Systems.

Quite often it's an Ed Sheeran song, I really like some of his (usually the ones that are claimed to have been stolen from someone else, strange that) and really can't tolerate some of his others.

What are your 'can't listen' songs?

Dance monkey

Anything sung by ed Sheeran

Shake It Off by Taylor Swift.

I’m a huge TS fan, but this song was so overplayed when it was released, I now hate hearing it.

BamBamBilla · 18/11/2022 19:28

Lewis Capaldi and Taylor Swift.

Anything with James Arthur singing 😣

artishard · 18/11/2022 19:29

'Good as Hell' by Lizzo. I seem to be constantly subjected to it via radio, TV ads, playlists in shops... just GO AWAY! I find the lyrics excruciating.

BruceAndNosh · 18/11/2022 19:30

Robbie Williams "Angels"

cobblers123 · 18/11/2022 19:30

Anything by

George Ezra
Lewis Capaldi

Blurred Lines.

it’s not cute, it’s creepy and weird.

BlackAmericanoNoSugar · 18/11/2022 19:33

Interesting, I don't mind some of those. Although the current Lewis Capaldi song makes me want to yell "It's not all about you, grow up you pathetic man".

Angels is bad, I agree but I listen to radio stations that mostly play current chart stuff so Robbie is blessedly absent.

Bohemian Rhapsody

GroggyLegs · 18/11/2022 19:34

Not songs but any radio advert describing food. 'Crispy' 'smooth' etc.

The ad for Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser is the current one.

TigerDroveAgain · 18/11/2022 19:35

Showing my age but Year of the Cat by Al Stewart gives me the rage

SnarkyBag · 18/11/2022 19:36

Rag and bone man Human. Can’t bare it

MissFlimpkin · 18/11/2022 19:36

That horrendous Coldplay song( all of them are) that sounds like 1980s elevator music - disgusting.

PeekabooAtTheZoo · 18/11/2022 19:37

That fucking awful song with the lines "talk about sex talk-a talk about sex" repeated on and on and on for about three lifetimes minutes. I don't know who did it or why they decided my eardrums needed this assault but I'm honest to god sick of hearing it and I get stressed when it's ambient in shops when I've got my learning-to-talk toddler with me.

BorisJohnsonsHair · 18/11/2022 19:34

Bohemian Rhapsody

Shame on you! 😱

custardbear · 18/11/2022 19:38

Anything by simply red

Yes what exactly is their selling point? Music for people who want to know what it feels like to be depressed without actually having to pay for citalopram?

Rauha · 18/11/2022 19:40

Any Adele song

toobusytothink · 18/11/2022 19:40

I have to turn over when billie eilish happier than ever comes along. The heavy intake of breaths and depressiveness drives me mad.
and this week the new Rhiannah song!!
genuinely can’t listen to either

Shade17 · 18/11/2022 19:42

Anything by Adele or Coldplay, utter shite. I have to change the station.

A580Hojas · 18/11/2022 19:42

Literally the entire output of the Beautiful South or Paul Heaton & Jackie Abbott.

They've got a new album out which is "Album of the week" on Radio 2. Between that and Scott Treadmills I've had to migrate to R4 and R5 this week.

HenryCavillsPerfectTeeth · 18/11/2022 19:44

Anything by Lizzo.

PeekabooAtTheZoo · 18/11/2022 19:45

Not a song but Jeremy Vine on R2 almost always made me smash the "retune" button with extreme prejudice as well.
Every topic was little-Britain NIMBY goady shit. I hear he's left now.

AutumnCrow · 18/11/2022 19:46

Anything involving Joel Corry and Becky Hill. It's all repetitive defribrillation by synthesiser with some background shrieking.
