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!

I got no towels, but I got underpants?

Yes. Dire.

And that Shamen one 'Ebeneezer Good',

I hate it too!! Awful song. The Killers have much better songs than this overplayed tripe!

Mr Brightside 🙄

500 miles by The Proclaimers

Nope, I'm right with you.

The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face really irritates me no matter who sings it, and it seems that everyone who's anyone has done a cover version.

I like Cyndi Lauper, but hate Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.

Add Vindaloo to my list too.

Oh well I can appreciate most of the songs mentioned here. I think it's a shame if you don't, like missing out on different types of food.

Some I like more than others but I am struggling to think of a song I hate actually.

Take On Me by Aha
Karma Chameleon by Culture Club
We Close Our Eyes by Go West
Mr Blue Sky by ELO
Can't Live by Marriah Carey
I Just Haven't Met You Yet by Michael Bubble (in fact anything by Michael Bubble!)

Dancing in the moonlight and fairytale of New York for me 🥴

Back in the 90s my mum would always have a migraine attack if I played my Hanson album. She particularly hated mmmbop and said the ‘high pitched boys set off my headaches !’ 😂

Absolute Yes to Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.

Also It’s Raining Men and Who Let the Dogs Out, which has also reminded me of The Thong Song.

Fairytale of New York

Oh I also hate Livin’ on a Prayer by Bon Jovi… I can’t tell you why. I must be the only one out there…

Brown Eyed Girl

And anything else that everyone has to show enforced joviality and clap/sing along...yuck

There is a song out by Beverley knight and Gregory Porter and it is really dire ( cba to look it up to see what it is called )
The Uk entry this year for Eurovision. Luckily they will stop playing it now on radio 2.
Hey Jude and I like the Beatles !
Especially the ‘ La la La ‘ bits

Bohemian Rhapsody

ETA I totally accept it is/was genius… but I still hate it.

The only way is up. Gaaaaaa! Dance floor clearer.

Sweet Caroline. I don’t think I hated it before football fans started singing it. Now I simply can’t stand it.

Anything by Adele or Ed Sheeran makes me change the car radio station. Ditto Mr Brightside.

Proud Mary by Ike and Tina Turner. I hate that too.

Yesterday - horrible song.
Anything from the Matilda soundtrack, gives me a headache.
Perfect Day - hate it.

Queen - most of their songs but particularly We are the Champions and the one where they say Galileo etc. is that the same song? Just the worst but people love them and go for a run listening to them.

Don't like those songs either! Also cannot stand Sit Down by James. And Mr Brightside has been overplayed to death.

Anything by Queen.

I do love Mr Brightside ! ..
Proud Mary is awful.
