Let It Go. I absolutely HATE it. It's so cringe worthy, I just cannot listen to it...

So so many. I work in a supermarket which is hell 🤣🤣

Think the worst is the Pina Colada song. Absolutely gives me the rage then I go and rant with my colleague who hates it too 🤣🤣

HaveTheDayOff · 12/03/2023 21:18

Anything by Adel.

An old one, Young Girl by Gary Puckett and the Union Gap. Thought it was odd at the time but heard it recently and actually gasped in shock at the lyrics.

I never realised that the lyrics to this are that bad - just looked it up now. Wow.

That song “happy” by P Williams (I think) but defo

“because I’m happy”

literally tortured me even writing this !

Shangrilalala · 12/03/2023 21:20

The Boy Does Nothing by Alesha Dixon. I have to switch the radio off, if it plays.

Wouldlovetobeinthesun · 12/03/2023 21:24

Lovely Day by Bill Withers, Coldplay and George Ezra. Not the rage, but I would mute the radio if they came on.

Mamalamadrama · 12/03/2023 21:25

Alecia keys - new york

Wouldlovetobeinthesun · 12/03/2023 21:27

Oh and Lewis Capaldi. Also a couple of others who sound like they're straining their voices to sing but their names escape me.

Yamalt · 12/03/2023 21:27

‘Step into Christmas’ - just fuck off!

NorthernGnashers · 12/03/2023 21:27

"Wind beneath my wings"

Am I the only one who thinks this song is so0-00 condescending?

"It must have been cold there in my shadow"
"You always walked a step behind"
Ouch ! But no offence to Bette Midler who is fantastic, she should have got the roles that went to the Aloof Ms Streep.

UpUpAndAwol · 12/03/2023 21:28

Fairground by simply red and Missing by everything but the girl. Also most songs by dido

ElaOfSalisbury · 12/03/2023 20:33

Toploader- Dancing in the moonlight

So glad you said this. I HATE it

MrsMoastyToasty · 12/03/2023 21:29

Anything with Christmas in the title or lyrics. Most of those songs are 40 or 50 years old. Enough already!

mac1974 · 12/03/2023 21:29

Anything by Mick Hucknall. Can't stand him.

HeyJudeNanananana · 12/03/2023 21:30

Thought of some more

Shania Twain: Man! I feel Like a Woman
Don't Stop Believing by Journey or whoever it was

AlphaAlpha · 12/03/2023 21:31

Anything by Beyoncé, especially the complete ear assault 'single ladies'

NorthernGnashers · 12/03/2023 21:32

Oh, and anything by Katie Melua.
I think "Sailboat" should not have been released, as a 3 year old could invent better lyrics. Just dig these lines:
"If you were a cowboy I would trail you" and . . .
" If you were a piece of wood I would nail .you.to.the.floor" Cringe

Oh god, Everything But The Girl!

The repetitive lyrics of a bellend song about bellends.

Ifionlyknewthenwhatiknownow3 · 12/03/2023 21:33

That shite ' come on Eileen '

megletthesecond · 12/03/2023 21:34

Beyonce, Run the world (girls). When they certainly do not.
Have to turn the volume down while it's on.

Beyoncé is amazing shut up

NorthernGnashers · 12/03/2023 21:35

@UpUpAndAwol
Yes, and Dido can't sing, but it doesn't seem to stop people playing her tracks.

I like Beyonce but hated that song

George Ezra. Green green grass. It hooks me with its catchy tune and I find myself singing it, 20 seconds I feel cheap and hate myself for allowing it to happen.

Even worse now that the song is used for a daughter and mum to do a really cringey tik tok dance to as well!

SerafinasGoose · 12/03/2023 21:40

Agree there are some real horrors on this thread. Especially the Toploader monstrosity and most of the Christmas shit post-1980s. Ditto soaring power ballads: awful awful genre.

Travis' 'Why does is always rain on me' always makes me want to throw something. Likewise Diana Ross's 'Chain Reaction' - top of the billing for dire wedding disco music.

It must be something about Andy Bell's voice, but Erasure have the same effect. Wish somebody fucking would!
