to ask for nominations for "most irritating song ever"?

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?

'cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again

Go and talk to Mary Berry, for Gawwwwd's sake, just leave us in peace (or should that be 'piece' Cake Cake Cake

Some very good suggestions on here with which I conpletely agree and some others have really surprised me (how can you include sympathy for the devil e.g. It's a great song)
Anyway 2 songs I must include:
Shout it from the rooftops shite by was it Republica? Cannot listen to that song
Also am amazed no-one has mentioned the no. 1 shit song of all time - Crazy Horses waaah waaah by the Osmonds

KatieScarlett2833 · 31/08/2013 12:35

GOODGirrrrrl. I know you want it, I know you want it...
No she fucking doesn't. Piss off creep.

Nancy66 · 31/08/2013 12:39

'What Can I Do To Make You Love Me' The Corrs.

The most twee, bland shit ever recorded.

Vagndidit · 31/08/2013 12:44

Far too many out there...but...

Wake Up--Boo Radleys

Take That--Shine. Most of their songs could complete the entire list.

The Promise--Girls Aloud

Blondie--Tide Is High

Inertia · 31/08/2013 13:39

I like Intergalactic and Wake Up Boo ...

Thumbwitch · 31/08/2013 13:47

Lisa Stansfield "Been around the world and aye-aye-aye can't find my baybee" - I HAVE to turn that fucker off whenever it comes on the radio, cannot STAND it!

Celine Dion and her thing from Titanic - gah!

Most stupidly pathetic line though comes from Always The Last to Know by Del Amitri:
"We spent summers up beyond the bay
And you said these are such perfect days
That if the bomb drops baby, I want to be the last to know "

REALLY?? That was the best fucking thing you could come up with? Utter drivel. Other than that I quite like the song, but that line makes me cringe and swear every single time.

50shadesofmeh · 31/08/2013 13:50

I think you'll find it's ' been around the world tonigh-igh-igh -ight and I can't find my babeee' thumb witch :-)

Fucking rotten though

50shadesofmeh · 31/08/2013 13:51

Titanic my heart will go on and that cringeworthy thing people do kidding on they are flying at the helm of the boat.
Grrrr

salsmum · 31/08/2013 13:51

Those were the days my friend, we thought they'd never end...can't remember who sings it but majorly DRAB Macarana {sp} and any other song that smug drunken holiday makers bring back from their hols and know EVERY move off by heart...leaving us pail looking U.K. holiday makers wondering WTF they are doing Grin.

AmandaHoldenmigroin · 31/08/2013 13:52

to be fair kotinka I think I am probably the only person on the planet who doesn't like groove is in the heart!
The video gives me a headache too.

Thumbwitch · 31/08/2013 14:04

50shades, it might well be but I hate it SOOO much I can't bear to listen to it to find out if you're right! Grin

MissFenella · 31/08/2013 14:06

I Don't wanna miss a thing
Elvis aint dead

paperclips · 31/08/2013 14:44

Someone's already mentioned this, from about 1999, I think it's Blue by Eiffel 55 or something with a horrible voice going "I live in a blue with blue windows" and then "I am blue da da dee da da daa" It pains me to think of it its so awful.

And DJ OTZI "Hey Baby" (ooh ah!) .... I could actually rip my ears off.

Makes me think of Friday night drunk people in a tacky bar in Blacpool or somewhere.

Anything by Nick Heyward.

In fact anything that, no matter how hard you listen, you can't make out all the words to. Very annoying when you are 13 and want to sing along.

It still haunts me now.

alltoomuchrightnow · 31/08/2013 15:41

any James Blunt especially the one with the three wise men. arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

toldmywrath · 31/08/2013 17:36
