Dancing in the Moonlight: Toploader. Utterly abhorrent

VeryQuaintIrene · 23/06/2023 10:09

I've said it before, but I'll say it again - Imagine.

FatherJackHackettsUnderpantsHamper · 23/06/2023 10:13

Barrie girl - that one actually sounds quite interesting Grin

I was going to say Saturday Night too - you're constantly waiting for the key change and the natural progression of the song, but it never comes.

I'd add 'Come Up And See Me, Make Me Smile' by Cockney Rebel.

Also 'The Name Game' by Shirley Ellis. It has a great tune (and Shirley's voice is great), but the lyrics are just ultra cringe - and my good friends Chuck, Frankie and Mitch were always devastated that they were never included!

Everything ever sung by Simply Red

I've Never Been to Me, by Charlene.

🤮

Possibly the worst song ever. It’s right up there with Goodbye my Lover, by James Blunt, Girl you’ll be a woman soon, by someone I’ve forgotten and I will always love you, by Whitney Houston.

TheYearOfSmallThings · 23/06/2023 10:27

Dicked down in Dallas isn't great either.

I'll add I've never met a girl like you before by Roy Orbison
Played relentlessly on my radio when I was a foreign language student in France in the 90s and only had a radio for company and entertainment .
It alternated with a very irritating Sheryl crow song - all I wanna do
😫😫😫😫😫😫

Dancing in the moonlight - Toploader

Absolutely! Just the worst!

ComputerInitiateJump · 23/06/2023 11:00

As much as I adored Madonna back in the day, I never really liked Holiday. Something about the chorus irritated my brain somehow. If it comes on the radio I have to switch station.

ChangeIsInevitable · 23/06/2023 11:01

Ooh I don't think there's enough time and space for this.

At this point, I have a shorter list of songs I think are meaningful and worthwhile.

TellingBone · 23/06/2023 11:05

Teddy Bear by Red Sovine
Deck of Cards by Wink Martindale

Kindofcrunchy · 23/06/2023 11:06

Anything Johnny cash ever ripped off

Nicki minaj or similar bollocks
And fucking.. Coldplay.

I don't know any Sam Smith songs but probably all of those as well.

That’s not Roy Orbison

Tidsleytiddy · 23/06/2023 11:26

It’s Edwyn Collins

MissingMoominMamma · 23/06/2023 11:30

I love Dancing in the Moonlight 😬.

Nights in White Satin.

ChazsBrilliantAttitude · 23/06/2023 11:32

All by myself - any version.

MenopauseSucks · 23/06/2023 11:33

It's a small world.

Terrible song, terrible ride...

BreezySunnyDay · 23/06/2023 11:33

My Name is Luka, Suzanne Vega, hate it beyond words

jellyminelli · 23/06/2023 11:51

"I'll add I've never met a girl like you before by Roy Orbison"

Yeah, Edwyn Collins sings it much better @Arcadia 🤣

DressDilemma · 23/06/2023 11:53

Anything by Adele. I don't get the appeal Blush

bluebell34567 · 23/06/2023 11:55

bluebell34567 · 23/06/2023 11:56

meatbaseddessert · 23/06/2023 11:57

How the hell do people fill out stadiums to watch the poisoned goblin Ed Sheeran?
Anything by Ed Sheeran. Especially the one about smelly sheets.

bluebell34567 · 23/06/2023 11:58

Girl you’ll be a woman soon, by someone I’ve forgotten and I will always love you, by Whitney Houston.
