-Toms diner-Suzanne vega… ‘la da deee La di dar…’ repeat forever, hurts my brain!
-love shack, ‘tin roof rusted’? Is that the line
-you’re Gorgeous.. particularly the line ‘snapped me til it hurt’ ugh
-seasons in the sun… just so sad it makes me cry have to turn it off, same for living Years by Mike and the mechanics.

La da Dee La da daah is Gypsy Woman, not Tom's Diner - that's duh duh duh duh, duh duh duh duh. Easy to mix your La da Dees with your duh duh duh duhs though.

For most of the stuff on this thread!
Plus anything by the Beatles.

Dancing in the Moonlight by Top Loader. So bloody repetitive!! Always reminds me of Jamie Oliver, in his sliding down the bannister, pukka, ello maaaaaate, days.

Omg, this me too! Practically run to turn it off when I hear it!

Deathraystare · 25/01/2023 08:12

Blurred bloody lines! I hear the beat and start dancing to Marvin Gaye and then realise it is that sexist shit.;

Mammyloveswine · 25/01/2023 08:14

That rapey song "blurred lines". Hate it so much!!

Consufed · 25/01/2023 08:29

Shape of You by Ed Sheeran. 'And now my bed sheets smell like you🤮

HRTQueen · 25/01/2023 08:47

Anything by Jess Glynne… fuck, she’s awful.

Haha yep she annoys the tits off me! The make up on Thursday one arghhhhh!!! Her warble too! Belinda Carlisle doesn't get a look in haha. Also I agree with you OP Pinks new song is one of her worst and I love her music.

ILoveYouMoreTheEnd · 25/01/2023 08:51

Oh and Katy Melua (spelling sorry) I detest all her music and voice. She was on Ken Bruce last week and her interview was like nails on a blackboard for me.

shyposter · 25/01/2023 09:03

Can I add Stevie Wonder's "I just called to say I love you" to the list? (love most of his other stuff though).

Also Jennifer Rush's The Power of Love.

I agree with Lady in Red too.

Oh yes, I agree, one of the most boring singers going. Disliked all her songs but especially that hideous overblown one called The Flood.😱

Aw the bicycle one makes me have a wee rage haha 😄

ILoveYouMoreTheEnd · 25/01/2023 10:29

And I used to like Lewis Capaldi but he's too shouty and again I heard a recent interview and he came across as not very nice. Cringing he is Scottish like me.

Secret Lovers - Atantic Starr
Always - Atlantic Starr
Lucky Stars - Dean Friedman
The Pina Colada Song

Lucky Stars, I'd forgotten just how dreadful that song is but I'll raise you Sometimes When We Touch by Dan somebody or other, another deeply awful song too.

JadeSeahorse · 25/01/2023 10:42

Agree with soooo many of these but amazed nobody has included, "All about the base" by Megan Trainor.

I actually think she comes across as really nice but that song is DIRE!

PenelopeTitsDrop3121 · 25/01/2023 11:37

Mental as anything "Live it up"
George Harrison "Got my mind set on you"
Feliz navidad argh!!!!!

AlwaysTheGoodGirl · 25/01/2023 11:42

@ZingyCosmo Oh god, I'm glad it's not just me, I bloody HATE Dancing in the Moonlight with a passion. In fact, when we were planning our wedding and I was making a list for the DJ, my first and main request was for him NOT to play the bloody song under any circumstances. Mind you, it turns out I shouldn't have had a wedding at all... Totally agree about the Jamie Oliver thing, that's exactly what comes into my mind! I can't dive on the radio quick enough if it ever comes on.

PenelopeTitsDrop3121 · 25/01/2023 11:42

Loving you by Minnie Ripperton makes me want to rip my ears off...the Tweety birds and high pitched noise. Urgh 😡

Rebelmcstreettuff · 24/01/2023 18:43

Perfect by fairground Attraction.

Heard Miley Cyrus song flowers today,it's a right rip off of Bruno Mars when I was your man.

That's kind of the whole point.

Kiss from a rose - Seal. HAAAAAAAAATE IT!!!!!

Fuck off

froomeonthebroom · 25/01/2023 11:48

There's a song called Down in Georgia that R2 keep playing at the moment. Not only do I hate it but I can't help wondering if the lyrics have another meaning.....

AlwaysTheGoodGirl · 25/01/2023 12:12

I'm so glad there are so many fellow song haters out there. We've recently started having the radio on at work, and it is slowly driving me insane. It's the same stuff over and over, but everyone seems to like it. What is wrong with them? Lewis bloody Capaldi five or six times a day, that Pink one Never Not Never Gunna Never Not whatever, the terrible Taylor Swift one. And everyone in the office sings along.

Agree with you @froomeonthebroom about that Down In Georgia thing that is constantly on Radio 2. Even my kids are repelled by it when their dad has it on in the house. The most insipid rubbish I've ever heard.

Also agree about Dancing Queen. I really like Abba, but hate that one. And Queen - I absolutely love them, but only their really old obscure stuff about fairies and Jesus - I cannot stand anything of theirs that is played on the radio, especially I Want To Break Free. Ugh.

My worst are -

Dance The Night Away - just bloody awful
You're Gorgeous - disgusting and makes me feel sick
I Don't Feel Like Dancing - annoying in every way
Dancing in the Moonlight - just bloody awful, especially the intro and the organ bit in the middle

There are so many more but I'd be here all day, raging.

Merry Xmas Everybody by Slade.

I will be hated for this one ,but I really don't like Tears in heaven by Eric Clapton .
I know who the song is about,and the utterly unimaginable and devastating tragedy that Eric wrote about.
But I just can't find it in my heart to like this song.
It's ok,I hate myself too for voicing this.

Clapton is a racist who said that Enoch Powell was right. It sparked Rock Against Racism in the 70s when it came out.
He suffered a terrible tragedy but he is not a man to give any sympathy to.
TW abhorrent racist remarks to follow- this is what he said-
.
.

.

“Stop Britain from becoming a black colony. Get the foreigners out,” exclaimed Clapton to his captive audience. “Get the wgs out. Get the c*ns out. Keep Britain white,” he added.
