What song do you turn off?

[YourAvidOpalPoet]

Anything pre 1960

The Wind Beneath My Wings by Bette Midler. Really can't stand it. Also horribly narcissistic.

Urgh that one's a reet turd, a wailing dirge if ever I heard one.

😂Yes!

Yes, especially when the poor friend's dead. God-awful song.

Oh God yes, that's awful

Love Shack, hate that song. I've been known to stalk off the dance floor in disgust when it comes on. So overrated

Oh, and another one. Sorry!

I don't know who it's by - it sounds like a girl "band" - but someone here will know who it is. The intro vocals/lyrics go: "Ah budub adub ah budub adub" and it makes my teeth grind. Every time it comes on, I have to leave the room.

Radio 2 is the station of choice where I work. Some of the drivel they play... In theory, I could say (cheery Briget Jones voice) "Right everyone, a little change: it's Radio 4 from now on" but that would make me (even more 😉) unpopular. Pick your battles, yes?

😂😂
And somehow worse now. No offence to any decent Americans.

The poor friend is dead, and while she was still alive you (the Bette Midler character) shagged her husband, iirc. Way to go!

Bryan Adams
Abba

My DH always has Smooth FM on in the car and I think they only have 10 songs they play. Even songs I love are tedious when I’m hearing them for the third time in one journey. 😱

Me too!
Michael Jackson
Doja Cat - voice just goes through me
Kate Bush
Most stuff by Florence & the Machine
Dance Monkey
Loving’ You (ahahahahahah!!)
Wicked Game
There’s another one by a female singer which changes tempo and has a really fast chorus that’s so annoying - can’t think what it’s called…

Blimey I can’t stop thinking of them
now!

Big Time Sensuality by Bjork. It’s the growling.

I don't remember that in the film. She grew close to the friend's boyfriend, but the friend did move away & marry someone else, from my recollection

There's Nothing Holding Me Back by Shawn Mendez

Showing my age here but Reeling in the Years by Steely Dan sets my teeth on edge - I always have Heart70s on the radio in the car, and it’s on every time I drive!

Quite a few songs can reduce me to tears though as they remind me of difficult times in my life, when they were in the charts.

@clarrylove always reminds me of dearly departed dog who would ‘randomly’ climb onto my lap - except it wasnt random but every time that song was played on the radio - and she was a Doberman rather than a small lap dog. I learned to scramble to turn it off before the violins because it upset her so much!

Pretty much any music my wife likes. We do have a few overlaps but generally her musical taste is terrible and mine's excellent. For some reason she thinks it's the other way round.

Anything by Jess Glynn. She makes me want to take my ears off and put them in a blender. Also George Ezra. So glad he’s not relevant anymore he’s unbelievably irritating.

Robbie Williams - Angels

I usually quickly mute anything by him but I did like Dancing with a Stranger he did with Noemi, mainly because she sang quite a lot of it.

Anything but Earth, wind and Fire, Stylistics etc. Anything which witters about boogying, grooving. All those awful shagging songs such as afternoon delight, we do it etc. Puke.

Anything by Celine Dion, Whitney Houston and Adele. Can't stand their screeching

Shut Up And Dance. I just turned it off about 10 mins ago.

Where do I start? Annoying tune and melody before you start on the lyrics, a mix of childish and "This woman is my destiny" after approximately 4 minutes on the dance floor? Definitely a textbook case of too much, too soon.

Oh, don't you dare look back
Just keep your eyes on me
I say, "You're holding back"
She said, "Shut up and dance with me!"
This woman is my destiny
She said, "Ooh-ooh
Shut up and dance with me"
Ow!

I like EWF but agree with you on the others. Shagging songs ha ha! Barry White has a lot to answer for.

So I take it Liquid Gold ..Dance yourself dizzy.
Isn't on your playlist...mind it shouldn't be on anyone's!
