I nominate Bjork's "It's oh so quiet"
In between the yappy dog impressions and the big band music you get her spitting all over you.
Why would anyone listen to that for pleasure?

MrsDavidBowie · 30/08/2013 19:59

Teamjavert...The Passenger was the first song at my wedding Grin
and Leonard rocks.

LindaMcCartneySausage · 30/08/2013 19:59

I'm sure I've posted this before on a v old thread and probably under a different name, but it has to "Black Velvet" by Alannah Miles. It's tune and lyrics are like fingers down a blackboard for me.

Impomea · 30/08/2013 20:06

Video Killed The Radio Star -Buggles

Anything by The Pet Shop Boys.

Endless Love -yucky

I dream of Chris Isaak singing that song to me MissG !

IDontBowlOnShabbos · 30/08/2013 20:09

For me it has to be 'I'm blue' by effiel 95 or some such bollocks, can't remember the name now. I do remember however, hearing it every day for what seemed like 10 years.

For songs that just get stuck in your head and won't leave, it has to be 'Mr Dobalina'. It might be a great song for all I know but I've heard it so many times in my head I now hate it!

Katiepoes · 30/08/2013 20:13

Suzanne? Nooooo that is a beautiful spine tingling perfect song. Now if you had said that horrible Idols/Popstars whatever version of Hallelujah....then I could agree.

I heard one in the car earlier - Having My Baby....ugh. Irritating and creepy.

Boaty · 30/08/2013 20:16

Kylie Minogue 'Can't get you out of my head' ..like the bloody irritating song!

DesperatelySeekingSedatives · 30/08/2013 20:16

dancing in the moonlight really pisses me off. always hated it. they recently played it in asda Angry made worse still because 2 year old DS started to dance to it.

You raise me up makes me want to break things. Every series of X factor without fail, at least once! ARRRRGHHHHHH!

nomorecrumbs · 30/08/2013 20:18

My humps. Just...WTF?

toldmywrath · 30/08/2013 20:20

"Dancing in the moonlight" by Toploader yes I second, third, fourth it as being the most sh*te drivel ever (plus it reminds me of Jamie effing Oliver-used in his early efforts iirc)

ShakeAndVac · 30/08/2013 20:27

Ooh another one I've just remembered that makes me switch straight off!
That 90's song - "I wanna be a hippy and I wanna get HIGH!"
rarrrgh.

pudseypie · 30/08/2013 20:38

anything by David Gray or Dido. So depressing. ..

Teamjavert · 30/08/2013 20:41

MrsDavidBowie. I meant guy. I like Leonard Cohen. Apologies for making my post clear as mud.

MrsDavidBowie · 30/08/2013 21:40

ha!!!!
Leonard is god, but not as god like as my husband of course.

Tittypulumpcious · 30/08/2013 21:49

99 Red Balloons...hate it.

MagratOfStolat · 30/08/2013 21:52

the uk national anthem

AlbertHerbertHawkins · 30/08/2013 22:00

Bitter sweet Symphony by The Verve - shoot me now!

squoosh · 30/08/2013 22:03

She's so cunting Lovely - Scouting For Girls.

No other suggestions necessary, you can close the thread now.

LadyBigtoes · 30/08/2013 22:09

Mine is Led Zeppelin - Kashmir. OMG! It's on dp's iPod and sometimes comes on in the car. It is such painfully boring, yet infuriating drivel and goes on for about 2 and a half hours.

Kudos though to whoever said toploader - they and their (one) song were also v. V. V. V. annoying.

MrsDavidBowie · 30/08/2013 22:11

Pparently Scouting for Girls have a Greatest Hits tour and album imminent.....must be a bloody short album.

Stillhopingstillhere · 30/08/2013 22:13

I wanted to also nominate des'ree for that horrific toast / ghost / most line. Worst line in a song ever.

Also loathe ub40. Anything by them annoys me. And anything by madness.

Stillhopingstillhere · 30/08/2013 22:14

Oh and busted year 3000 for the lines' 'it's much the same but we live underwater' if we live underwater it's hardly the fucking same is it? I'd say that's quite a difference.

Strictly1 · 30/08/2013 22:14

Barbie girl. Played far too loudly by a neighbour in uni halls.
