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

I also find Green Green Grass by George Ezra repulsive.

JaneJeffer · 13/03/2023 00:24

I've got one for you @Pumpkinboobs "one question that I need to know" aargh!

ourflagmeansdeath · 13/03/2023 00:25

Sorry I keep thinking of more when I press send - Anti-Hero by Taylor Swift!!!!!! A lot of some popular cheezy Taylor Swift songs ick me out and I'm saying this as a diehard Taylor fan! I truly love her music and most of it is beautiful but there are a certain few...

There's a bit in that song where she holds a long EEEEEE note that does my head in.

"I get knocked down, but I get up again". Fuck off.

Megan Trainer - Made You Look

Literally makes me want to punch something

This. How brain dead and superficial is it possible to be.

SmartHome · 13/03/2023 00:32

Anything by Cliff Richard or Elton John.

Interesting someone said that about Biffy Clyro. I used to thing exactly the same thing and would cringe and turn them off when they came on the radio. But then weirdly I starting really loving Many of Horror and now I dont mind some of their other songs too. I must have got use dro them.

Are their accents really overdone? Do they actually sound like that? Are they from the Hebrides?

Thisisformathilda · 13/03/2023 00:33

A Thousand Miles…Vanessa Carlton
Baby.. Justin Bieber
Chain Reaction…Diana Ross
Dancing Queen.. ABBA
I THINK We’re Alone now.. Tiffany
Rollercoaster… Ronan Keating

Also “Woh ho, your sex is on fire” - I always think the guy’s partner has some terrible sexually transmitted disease causing them both to experience burning discomfort 😁

I knew this would come up. I think this is my most rage-inducing song. Apart from the stupid lyrics reminding me of the time I had thrush I couldn’t get rid of, the singer’s voice straining for the high notes sounds like nails down a blackboard. It actually makes me wince.

There was a festival in my city a couple of years ago and I refused to buy tickets cos they were headlining. There were loads better people like Sam Fender on. But it was Kings of Leon who you are mainly paying for so I refused to go.

CurlyhairedAssassin · 13/03/2023 00:41

Oh chain reaction. Yes to that. And Ronan keating. I don’t like Kylie’s squeaky voice either.

also the strangled cat voice of Heather Small, particularly at the start of “one night in heaven.” You know the bit I mean. “Uh WO-OA oh oh!” Piss off, Heather.

cassiastatham · 13/03/2023 00:47

James BLUNT 😡 Youhre beatifulle, its true wuth that voice of his. There's a magic gargantuan toad living in his throat

cassiastatham · 13/03/2023 00:48

I will even accept Ed Sheeran in lieu of James Blunt

JaffacakeJanine · 13/03/2023 00:50

It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas (often paired with obnoxious Instagram video of a smug woman with ott overdesigned Christmas decorations)

Happy, Get Lucky, make me feel the opposite of intended emotion

Time of Your Life, ughhh have to skip that one every time

Any 00s pop punk artist that says 'yewww' instead of 'you'

Any artist who sings in a baby voice

MrsAvocet · 13/03/2023 01:03

Anything by The Eurythmics. I can't stand Annie Lennox's voice.
And not a song as such, but I really hate The Lark Ascending. I'm fairly indifferent to anything else by Vaughan Williams but that bloody bird makes me feel physically violent. I have no idea why it is top of the Classic FM Hall of Fame year after year.

MarshaMelrose · 13/03/2023 01:03

That fricking cake in the rain song. Macarthur Park. The lyrics about taking it and baking it and not having the recipe. So bloody banal. Ugh.

xprincessxjanetx · 13/03/2023 01:21

I dislike anything by Sam Smith with a passion...it doesn't help that I think he's a massive self-obsessed nob as well!

SnottyLottie · 13/03/2023 01:27

I always got the ick with Heaven 17’s Come Live with Me. Especially when he references he’s 37 and she’s only 17 🤢

SnottyLottie · 13/03/2023 01:29

Sorry I meant to say that even as a kid I got the ick from Heaven 17’s Come Live with Me. Somehow, even at the age of 6-7 I knew it wasn’t right for a grown man to be interested in a teenager.

YesIReallyDoLikeRootBeer · 13/03/2023 01:37

Jolene by Dolly Parton
I love Dolly but that song makes me crazy. Don't beg Jolene for your asshole of a man. Let her have him!

ToWhitToWhoo · 13/03/2023 02:09

Some of the cornier Christmas ones, e.g. Paul McCartney's 'Having a Simply Wonderful Christmastime' and Wizzard's ' I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day'.

That awful passive-aggressive Seventies song 'No Charge'.

'I've Never Been to Me.'

PlimplePlop · 13/03/2023 00:29

"I get knocked down, but I get up again". Fuck off.

My husband hates that song and always responds:

"How hard do I have to hit you so you stay down and you can shut the hell up?!"

Or

"What the hell are they--'Weeble Wobbles'?"

😂

Terrribletwos · 13/03/2023 02:41

Absolutely all of the trite shite songs by Abba...bland as hell.
All the Xmas crappy songs actually make me angry and want to just get out of the shop as quickly as possible.
Beatles too, can't stand any of their stuff.

ClaireStandishsLipstick · 13/03/2023 06:23

I just called to say I love you by Stevie Wonder
Seasons in the sun by Terry Jacks
Promise me by Beverly Craven - all I hear is her sharp intake of breath at the end of each line
anything by Johnny Logan as he constantly licks his lips when singing.
