Songs you despise, popular or unpopular

[notsosimpleplanofaction]

First one that comes to mind for me is Nightlife by Green Day. 😵‍💫

Talking of The Wurzels (there's a link in my mind), the song Brand New Key by Melanie (covered by them, slightly altered) irritates me no end.

Apart from the nonsense about keys and roller skates (well, some reckon that the 'key' bit is meant to refer to something else), that line about her travelling all around the world and the "Some people say I've done alright for a girl"... do people really say that to a grown woman who has travelled extensively? Or is that meant to be taken rudely as well?

That old song lyrics ‘ if I said you had a beautiful body would you hold it against me ? Not sure who sung it, but another one can be taken both ways.

@Overtheatlantic Google Roger and Me beach boys. Sometimes juxtaposition leads to hearing a song differently so the saccharine becomes irony.

Anything by Shaina Twain and Cyndi Lauper, also George Ezra.

girls just wanna have fun is horrific.

You should hear their version of It Wasn’t Me …

Lady in Red
Any Sting song
Any Celine Dion song
Big ballads

Imagine. Its infantile dross. To be evenhanded I'm not keen on Yesterday either, but Imagine is in a class of its own.

The video gave me the rage as well - let’s sing about people not having a pot to piss in whilst walking up our huge drive (keeps the plebs away) towards our insanely large house.

Admittedly the only Beatles/solo song I liked was the Frog Chorus 🤣

Oh god yes, I had blanked it out!

Anything by Maria Carey. She’s awful.

Is it as good as this one by Twisted Tunes?!

I love this song 😂

C'est La Vie by Bewitched came on the radio today. Add that to the list.
And Barbie Girl by Aqua (Life in plastic, it's fantastic)

BloooooooVelvet - I hate that 'slide' of note change
Run to you (Bryan Adams) only because my first 'proper' boyfriend at school made my friend a mixtape with this on, shortly before he asked her out. She (and I) told him to 'do one'.
Baker Street - Gerry Rafferty

They are both filthy, but it’s disturbing to hear a Wurzel say “I’m not hard, I’m not in and I’m not getting my money back” 😱

They'd probably have said it back when the song was first recorded. I have to confess to a sheepish affection for the Wurzels' parody though, as it was bought for me when it came out (I was about 7) and was possibly the first record I ever owned. As an adult I agree it's abysmal though. 😄

I’m Yours by Jason Mraz

Wow... words fail me!

All of Me, by John Legend.

My then 30 year old husband (now ex-husband) texted them to a 16 year old friend of mine. Literally made me throw up.

What would I do without your smart mouth?
Drawing me in, and you kicking me out
You've got my head spinning, no kidding, I can't pin you down
What's going on in that beautiful mind?
I'm on your magical mystery ride
And I'm so dizzy, don't know what hit me, but I'll be alright
My head's under water
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose, I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh-oh
How many times do I have to tell you?
Even when you're crying, you're beautiful too
The world is beating you down, I'm around through every mood
You're my downfall, you're my muse
My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues
I can't stop singing, it's ringing in my head for you
My head's under water
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose, I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh-oh
Give me all of you, oh
Cards on the table, we're both showing hearts
Risking it all, though it's hard
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose, I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you
I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh-oh

Omg so he was grooming her??

Mull of Kintyre

Al Wilson ..The Snake
Rd Taylor Ghost in my house
Wedding function Northern Soul.
Never played at real Nsoul venues.

Just thought of another one... Shout. So raucous, and too fast to dance to (IMO anyway) yet it's always being played at functions. I don't see the appeal at all.

I agree that Shout is just too loud and silly and I am
not keen on Lulu , so it winds me up even more.

Ah Lulu the professional weedgie
Up there with Cilla the professional Scouser.
