Songs you despise, popular or unpopular

[notsosimpleplanofaction]

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

Whitney Houston - Ivwill always love you - makes me feel angry

The Whitney song ‘ saving all my love for you ‘
The lyrics are dodgy.

Literally just that the child wakes up one morning and his mum's not there...

Where's your mama gone (where's your mama gone)
Little baby Don? (Little baby Don?)
Where's your mama gone? (Where's your mama gone?)
Far, far away

Last night I heard my mama singing a song
Oo-ee, chirpy, chirpy, cheep, cheep
Woke up this morning and my mama was gone
Oo-ee, chirpy, chirpy, cheep, cheep

Another verse suggests the kid's father has gone as well. It really is an odd song, especially paired to such a bouncy tune. I was about 7 when it came out and it was played on the radio all the time!

It is an odd song isn’t it! Why be chirpy ?
They did write some weird songs back then and I remember it was on the radio all the time too.
( also the carpenters one about songs on the radio )

Nobodys child
Really depressing.
Don't know who sang it 70s.

Sweet Caroline. Just awful.

dance monkey

@TheDellsYoursongNsoul haha I had an elderly wee great auntie who would sing Nobody's Child at family do's when she'd had a sherry, it ended up being played at her funeral,.how depressing!

Nobody’s child is depressing, but people seem to like it as a tear jerker.
Also the song ‘ no charge’ , the dad is saying I’ve brought you up, but i’m not charging you for it!
Another weird one.

Billy Connolly version is funny.

He also did a great parody of 'No Charge' mentioned above.

Excuse me? It’s brilliant! 😀

Survivor by Destiny’s Child. Torture for the ears. It needs banning!

Handbags and Glad Rags. Absolute tosh. Let’s Hear it For the Boy. Radio goes straight off. Footloose. Ditto. Imagine= pretentious wank. All the shit songs from The Blues Brothers film; I don’t get the love for it at all. Fleetwood Mac: The Chain: starts off well then goes into utter shite. Mull of Kintyre: what the fuck? Loads more I’m sure.

This is awful but I remember the boys at our secondary school singing this to a girl whose mother had left.
Horrid song (amd horrid boys)

Hallelujah. Absolutely ruined when every Tom, Dick and Harry started singing it. It's ruined it for me.

Yea it gives me the rage, esp that lower jaw wobbbly thing

I'm with you but mine is 'I've got toes, but i'm not a toaster!"
I also agree with PP about Whitney Houston's I will always love you. Dolly"s is so much better, since she wrote it, i assume that's how its meant to sound, why change perfection.

And also D.I.V,O,R,C,E 'Our ittle dog is six years old and smart as any damn kid'

Imagine. Ghastly song.

Also almost anything by David Bowie. He’s so revered but I just don’t get it!

I love that song ,,it was out when I was old enough to go out on my bike with my Walkmans and play it as loud as the headphones would allow while cycling as fast as I could around our big park
I used it like a stop watch , I had to be at a certain bench / tree / gate by x place in the song .
Happy memories

Anyone around in the 60s will remember this absolute horror.

Honey by Bobby Goldsborough 🤢🤢🤮🤮

Oh yes..that's a total cringey pile of poop.

They-ve just started showing a TFI Friday reboot on Channel 4, including some old classic interviews from the original run. Bowie was in one of them, and he was soooooo irritating.

If I were Chris, I would have had The Laughing Gnome cued up to play every time he started getting a bit too up himself!

Love me like you do

want to throw up every time I hear this. Usually just rant at the radio instead
