I've always hated this song and it was bloody played everywhere fir like 6 months!

I do, however, love Everything I Do.... by Bryan Adams. That was also everywhere for ages but I can forgive him for that

Oh God that’s another one I have to turn off.

We Close Our Eyes by Go West, which is a bit of a problem as I am seeing them in concert tonight!

Wonderlandpeony · 20/06/2026 12:05

So or Hey Margarita or is the Macarena?

Thebinisrightthere · 20/06/2026 11:09

But these songs aren't necessarily autobiographical

I know

Only sometimes? I thought it was " You Make Me Feel Like Dancing"

Thebinisrightthere · 20/06/2026 12:08

Myblueclematis · 20/06/2026 12:07

I know

So what's the problem with the words then?

Anything by k.d. lang. Awful.

My old housemate used to play Constant Craving all the time many years ago, that was until a burglar broke in & stole her cds! It was nothing to do with me, honest 🤣

Little Drummer Boy was a song playing on one of the tapes Ian Brady and Myra Hindley made of them torturing Lesley Ann Downey

😟

Hallelujah - whoever is singing it.

I absolutely detest that song with a passion.

fetchacloth · 20/06/2026 18:07

Anything by Celine Dion. She has an awful wailing voice that hurts my ears, but was my ex husband's favourite singer 🙄

Manifoldoptions · 20/06/2026 18:24

Dido and her White Flag
Chris Martin
Both are insufferable

ThisSillyPoet · 20/06/2026 18:24

Any Craig David song

AitkenDrum1970 · 19/06/2026 19:12

Never found anyone else who feels like me about it! My family think it’s blasphemous not to like it 🤣

Think it's been soooo overplayed that it's annoying

Missaddictedtochocolate · 20/06/2026 18:29

Top loader .. dancing in the moonlight
Extreme .. Only Words
anything by Simply Red

ShiraShira · 20/06/2026 18:34

Music Sounds Better With You, it really grinds my gears. Anything sung by Chrissie Hyde, her voice sounds like she is constipated. I really hate most of the “poppy” Christmas songs that play in every shop between early November and 25th Dec, especially Slade, and Paul McCartney’s Wonderful Christmastime with that awful squelchy fart synth sound. Hard to escape that “festive” playlist as it’s on almost everywhere at that time of year.

KM123456 · 20/06/2026 18:35

Feliz navidad

Xsunshinelollipopsx · 20/06/2026 18:52

RIHANNA- Only girl (in the world)

when I hear it it sounds like my whiny daughters. It hits a tone in my head. Just skimmed through everyone’s answers and couldn’t see it so I fear I’m alone in my hatred of her voice. She seems like a nice lady but not the singer for me.

Adifferentcorner · 20/06/2026 18:56

Ooh I quite like a lot of the songs mentioned 😬
can’t stand ray of light - Madonna
