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?

MissOtisRegretsMadam
Spaceman by Babylon 5

Babylon 5 was the tv series, the song was by Babylon Zoo.

Meanwhile I offer Bryan Adams (Everything I do) I do it for you.

It drove me utterly potty when it was so big in the charts.

Loving You by Minnie Ripperton - want to scratch my eyes out -its painful

Ooh stick you, your momma too (and your Daddy) Daphne and Celeste.

Oh dear. I'm another who's spotted a lot of my all time faves in here...however, Seasons in the Sun by Terry Jacks gets my vote for most irritating. I can't listen to the whole thing. Generally start yelling, "Just get on and die right now," about three lines in.

FryOneFatManic · 30/08/2013 22:47

DP has just nominated as THE most irritating song ever

That come on over Valerie shit (several "artists"). No one is actually called Valerie these days.
I have horrific images of aged aunts doing dirty dancing.

That fucking Joss Stone song, Your love is...Sooper Dooper, fuck off Joss with your crystals and barefoot hippy dippy aspirations.
I stopped watching the Tudors (which I had really enjoyed) because she was in it. If there's an example of up one's own bottom, she is it.

ladymariner · 30/08/2013 23:15

Bom Bom Bom by Sam and the Whomp - need I say any more?? The cause of a million arguments in our household - "I've got a pie in my pocket, eye in my socket"... WTF???

QueenofLouisiana · 30/08/2013 23:41

My heart will go on- Celine Dion.

Not even the fact that it was no.1 when I met DH can redeem it.

racingheart · 30/08/2013 23:42

Girls Aloud and Sugababes singing together on Walk This Way as if one set of shriekers mangling a song wasn't bad enough. I used to get a headache within seconds of DC putting this on. Thank goodness they've graduated to more melodic stuff like Skrillex Grin

LadyHarrietdeSpook · 30/08/2013 23:55

I don't know where to start with this thread.Many songs have already been called to account for their wickedness. Some however are so bad that their names shouldn't even be mentioned in a thread referencing 'songs' as they don't count ( Barbie girl, anything by Celine dion).

I heard many bad songs on my recent US tour in cars which didn't permit the use of modern technology: iPods.

Ladies, I give u Freebird by LynerdSkynerd. More than a feelin' by Boston. Things by Foreigner and a band called Kansas.

But then in Britain you had good music in the 80s. I did not and immigrated.

Shenanagins · 31/08/2013 00:10

The birdy song, mr blobby and anything by black lace.

MrsSippy · 31/08/2013 00:25

Imagine - John Lennon. I hate that song with a passion!!!

stitchy · 31/08/2013 00:27

Roxanne - Police
Build Me Up Buttercup - The Foundations
Break Out - Swing Out Sister

Awful. Properly ear-bleedingly awful.

(Jeremy Hardy doing My Humps to I Vow To Thee My Country on ISIHAC was indeed golden)

Dido - no love without freedom. No love without freedom. No love without freedom. Repeat repeat repeat repeat repeat....she obviously got bored writing that one didn't she?

"I'll just repeat that line. Hmm...what the hell - I'll just repeat it again 1000 times".

LucyLastik · 31/08/2013 00:32
