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

Technically an advert, but I detest that awful Shiela's Wheels song. Hate it! I stopped listening to (free) Spotify because it seems to run the same ad every 30 minutes. I can't bear it!

Living next door to Alice by Smokie 🙉🤮

LostinSpace99 · 16/04/2026 20:25

Tub thumping by Chumbawumba!

HotChocolateBubbleBath · 16/04/2026 20:26

True by Spandau Ballet, I bloody loathe it!

Florence and the Machine - You Got the Love. Completely popularised the more superior version by Candi Staton, a black woman who was ripped off and had to fight for the publishing rights. But I bet Florence doesn’t have to fight for her royalties - everyone thinks she wrote it too. It annoys me when I hear it.

Bohemian Rhapsody

NorthDowns · 16/04/2026 20:26

Hit me with your rhythm stick - Ian Dury & the Blockheads gives me irrational rage. Even thinking about it makes me irate

FKAT · 16/04/2026 20:28

Where do you go to my lovely by Peter Sarstedt (SP???) Absolutely bizarre cod French faux chanson about a very unconvincing woman sung by a creepy stalker

I also hate all 80s/90s wedding disco songs - Come On Eileen, Loveshack, Toploader etc

RockyFraggles · 16/04/2026 20:28

Abba Dancing Queen. Hate it!

Can't stand Mungo Jerry In The Summertime.
If her daddy's rich take her out for a meal if her daddy's poor you can do what you please...
Best thing they did with it was an anti drink driving advert.
I really can't stand anything by Michael Jackson either.

That lyric really annoys me too!!

Angels by Robbie Williams, absolutely hate it

Me too, although I think Rock DJ is worse.

AustralianCrunch · 16/04/2026 20:30

Dance the night away by the Mavericks.

LydiaFunnyGums · 16/04/2026 20:30

Love Is Contagious - Taja Sevelle

Completely despise Sweet Caroline and Come on Eileen and anything sung by Rod Stewart!

Doncha by the wonderfully empoweringly named 'Pussycat dolls'.

So horribly...unsisterly. And just generally demonic.

It’s a hideous song but ‘unsisterly’ and ‘demonic’?

somekindof · 16/04/2026 20:32

Everything by ABBA and Simply Red - allergic to both bands

Dancing in the moonlight toploader - makes me really annoyed every time I hear it

It’s just a song with one man repeating the word moonlight as many times as he possibly can!! Argh!

Zlemonits · 16/04/2026 20:33

Another vote for Life is a Rollercoaster - Ronan Keating.

And

Importance of Being Idle - Oasis (actually, most of their stuff)
Feel - Robbie Williams

All so dull and plodding

CompanyOfThieves · 16/04/2026 20:34

Bohemian Rhapsody. Or Bohemian fucking Rhapsody as it's known in this house

Xanadu58 · 16/04/2026 20:34

Love shack ! Urgh can't bear it

Awrite · 16/04/2026 20:34

Love Shack by the B-52s. I can tolerate just about any song ever created but this one. Seriously.

LydiaFunnyGums · 16/04/2026 20:36

Anything sung by Kylie Minogue!

LaProf · 16/04/2026 20:37

Overtheatlantic · 16/04/2026 19:55

Wash your mouth out!

I hate it too. Particularly when people start shouting "So good! So good!"

Boxingshibes · 16/04/2026 20:37

Common People- Pulp.
My then boyfriend at uni thought it summed up me as I went to private school and the lyric ' coachroaches on the wall if your father he could stop it all' really annoyed him. But if it actually had happened my df would have as he cared as would I when dd goes to uni. Its not a brag but common sense whether it's rentokill or anything else.
It really annoys me

Another vote for Groove is in the Heart.

Love Shack

And another Alanis Morissette offering - You Oughta Know. Just walk away and heve some dignity, woman!

I’m absolutely with you on Love Shack! I just hate it so much!
