What song do you turn off?

[YourAvidOpalPoet]

Anything pre 1960

Toxic by Britney. The violins are like nails down a blackboard!

Teardrops - Womack & Womack
Hold my Hand - Jess Glynnne
Anything by Robbie Williams
Anything by Ed Sheeran
Anything produced by Stock Aitken & Waterman

" Wind Beneath my Wings" it has to be the most condescending song!

" It must have been cold there in my shadow"
"you always walked a step behind "
"a beautiful face without a name"

with friends like that . . . . . . 🤔

Anything by Chaka Khan, James Blunt or Ronan Cheating (as he’s known in our house).

I hear you on all of those proper old ale-house tunes. There's a rough old boozer we go past quite often in town, and there's always somebody murdering Neil Diamond or one of the songs you mention on the karaoke.

Came here to write this! So glad someone else feels the same way! I hate that plinky plonk intro so much, instant rage

But it's funny.

Oh God yes, I hate those cringey lyrics. Almost as bad as "sometimes the sun goes round the moon" in Save the Best til Last. No. No it doesn't. The sun NEVER, ever goes around the moon.

Oh, and the timeless classic by Katie Melua "If you were a sailboat "

"if you were a cowboy I would trail you "
"If you were a piece of wood i would nail you to the floor"

these so called lyrics are so embarrassingly bad.

Little Drummer Boy. For obvious reasons. It makes me feel sick

Yes, I also remember the other reign of terror in the charts, when Wet Wet Wet were no.1 for fucking ever, another film tie in, felt like it would never end. Still can't listen to either of them.

Anything soppy and smoochy. Yuck! 🤢

Moves like Jagger, the whistling at the beginning goes through me.
Sweet Caroline and any shit song relating to English football.
Praise You Fat Boy Slim

Anything by queen. I had an asshole ex that was obsessed with them.
Also, 'The Living Years' by Mike and the Mechanics. I lost my dad this year and it really hits hard as we had had a falling out and we never made up. I was in one of my MH support groups last week and it came on the radio. I asked them to change the station.

Love is all around - Wet Wet Wet

4 Non blondes. Cant even recall the title, but it was on the radio constantly at a very difficult time. Also screechy.

I hate with a passion Paul Smugface McCartney and his current weedy voiced pap 'days we left behind' brings out the worst in me! Radio off.... Absolutely don't get his appeal at all.....

Walking On Sunshine
Wake Me Up Before You Go Go
Anything by Whitney Houston
Galway Girl by Ed Sheeran
Perfect Ten by The Beautiful South
Anything by Blur
There She Goes by The La’s
She’s So Lovely by Scouting For Girls
Anything by Take That, Boyzone or Westlife
Radio Gaga
Brown Eyed Girl
Have A Nice Day by Stereophonics
House Of The Rising Sun
Light My Fire by The Doors
Karma Chameleon

Three times a Laydee.

Life Is A Rollercoaster - Ronan Keating
I find it properly painful.

I can’t be doing with the modern wet & whiney singers such as Sienna Spiro & Olivia Dean.

Going further back, Michael Jackson (all of his songs) & Teardrops by Womack & Womack.

Sweet Caroline, fucking hate it, done to death.

White Flag (Dido)

Single Ladies
Jump Around
Loveshack
Christmas Songs especially Slade and Wizzard.
Brimful of Asha
You're Gorgeous
Probably more.

Oh god, that was everywhere for ages. Didn't people break into jukeboxes to remove it?
Listener fatigue 😄
