Song that you irrationally hate…

Mine is (I’ve Had) the Time of My Life, from ‘Dirty Dancing’.

It’s like nails on a chalk board and I can’t even explain why. It’s not even the worst song but it gives me rage and I always have to turn over the radio when it’s on.

Add to that any song by Anastacia, although these days she is rarely played on the radio.

I’m hoping that it’s not just me and suspect everyone has “that song” that they just cannot stand, for no rhyme nor reason. What is yours?

Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty and Lovely Day by Bill Withers. They make me murderous.

Bluevelvetsofa · 22/08/2023 12:48

Padam, padam or whatever it’s called. I can’t stand the nasal twang from Kylie Minogue.

I Just Called To Say I Love you by Stevie Wonder. Hate it.

Justcashnosweets · 22/08/2023 12:51

Mine is the same as yours OP. I can't stand that song. Also Build me up Buttercup. They both give me the rage and can fuck right off.

CosyCoffee · 22/08/2023 12:52

@dikwad mine is Baker Street too! I get a horrible ear worm from watching anything involving Sherlock Holmes Confused

I also hate The Way It Is by Bruce Hornsby. Urrrgggh

Eternal flame by the Bangles, hideous

Aworldofmyown · 22/08/2023 12:52

Anything sung by Heather Small, I can't deny she's an amazing singer. My ears just do not appreciate her!!

iwantawisteriathisyear · 22/08/2023 12:53

That awful Top loader song- dancing in the moonlight. Loathe it.

We have similar taste in hatred - I also despise that damn Buttercup song!

Toploader Dancing in the Moonlight and the awful recent cover by one of those generic female singers who all sound exactly the same

JaneJeffer · 22/08/2023 12:55

YES! But what is worse - the original, or the 375 breathy acoustic covers of it?

JaneJeffer · 22/08/2023 12:55

Oh and @iwantawisteriathisyear lots of hate for Toploader 👍

Proudgypsy · 22/08/2023 12:57

Perhaps controversial but sweet Caroline. I never liked it to begin with and it's now become an anthem for drunken idiots to stagger about to.

Emmylou22 · 22/08/2023 12:57

Sweet Caroline 😵‍💫😖

Kingsleadhat · 22/08/2023 12:58

Mariah Carey All I Want for Christmas is You makes me want to pull my ears off

readbooksdrinktea · 22/08/2023 12:59

Every Breath You Take.

Complete stalker vibes. I hate it.

JaneJeffer · 22/08/2023 13:00

I also hate Breakfast at Tiffany's, Dance the Night Away, Happy, The Pina Colada Song, any Katy Perry song ever

I could go on...

Forwardthinkinglobster · 22/08/2023 13:04

This is probably controversial because she’s a great singer but Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love also makes me cringe

I will survive by Gloria Gaynor!! Hate! Hate! Hate!!

WingingItSince1973 · 22/08/2023 13:06

Tainted Love by Soft Cell. Came out at a terrible time in my childhood. Never can stay in a room if it's on I get horrible vibes.

Janefx40 · 22/08/2023 13:06
