Popular songs you actually don’t like

[GodDamnVampire]

Neighbours a few doors away have been out in the garden, having a bbq and playing music.
Earlier, they played ‘Sweet Caroline’ on loop 4 times 🤪
I remember reading somewhere (maybe on MN?!) that some people can’t stand this song.
Personally, I don’t mind it, but maybe 4 times is a bit much!.

Are you a fan?
What other songs which are deemed “popular” but actually grates on your nerves?
Mine are Seal’s Kiss From a Rose, The B-52s Love Shack and Fairground Attraction’s Perfect - just for starters!

Perfect by Fairground Attraction

Spinning Around - Kylie Minogue.

Most songs by Kylie. She has a squeaky, nauseating voice.

I like Kylie and Abba but Dancing Queen and Spinning Around are both the pits.

I went to a funeral a year and a half ago where the woman who died was a Cliff Richard fan and had left instructions for the undertaker to pick a song. On the other hand, hate Cliff but I would have Wired For Sound at my funeral.

Mr. Brightside. I absolutely HATE it but I think I might be the only person in the British Isles who feels like this.

Love Shack, Walking on Sunshine, anything by Guns 'n Roses. Oh and Breakfast at Tiffany's - I find that song infuriating!

Pretty much everything that has already been mentioned along with
Let's Dance by David Bowie
With a Little help from my friends both beatles and wet wet wet ones
And all of the songs out of Dirty Dancing because I hate that film and I've never even watched it all the way through and that surprises people!

Anything by Abba, Queen or Tina Turner..gets on my nerves!

I would walk 500 miles! I fucking hate it with a passion.

I saw the title and my mind went straight to Sweet Caroline! It came on in a disco yesterday 🙉 But songs like Love Shack and Walking on Sunshine have just been played to death

Hotel California - Eagles

Ugh!

No, no you’re not! I also hate it!

Don’t like the Stereophonics. HATE Handbags and Gladrags. Loathe Baker Street too.
Just two incredibly depressing songs.

I love this song! Replace the D with an N

Da-da da da (Da-da da da)
Da-da da da (Da-da da da)
Da-da dum diddy dum diddy dum diddy da da da
Da-da da da (Da-da da da)
Da-da da da (Da-da da da)
Da-da dum diddy dum diddy dum diddy da da da

Can’t stand Dancing Queen. It’s weirdly too slow to dance to for me.
also I will survive - karaoke nightmare.

Anything by Bob Dylan. Horrible whiny voice.

Hate ‘Espresso’ by Sabrina Carpenter.
Quite like some of her other songs. Really don’t understand the hype for that one though, it’s shite.

Mary’s Prayer! I’ve always loathed it, and yet everyone seems to love it…

A lot of the PP ones.

Happy by Pharrell Williams 😖

Bohemian rhapsody. Fucking hate it. It annoys me that it is constantly voted the best song of all time. Just no.

I also detest Love Shack, along with Bittersweet Symphony by The Verve and anything by Adele, Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, Jennifer Lopez or Mariah Carey.

Me too!

That Chumbawumba song. I have to switch it off if it's on the radio, or skip it.

I used to hate Pulp - Common People. It was on a lot when I was studying for exams and I had to go and switch the radio off. It's kind of grown on me, I don't have to switch it off any more.

Also don’t like Tom Jones Sex Bomb

Ugh, yes, Sweet Caroline is awful. Likewise, 'Lovely day'.

Re. Kylie I can take 'Spinning around' but that 'la la la la' effort really does make me want to stick my fingers in my ears.

Otherwise topping my shit list:

Dancing in the Moonlight, Toploader
Why does it always rain on me, Travis
Chain Reaction, Diana Ross
Cotton Eye Joe, Rednex
Staying Alive, Bee Gees
Simply the Best, Tina Turner
Anything whatsoever by Erasure. Wish somebody bloody would.

Robbie William’s angels - sentimental bollocks.

celine dion’s titanic song - aaargh!!

anything by Ed Sheeran, Coldplay or U2.
