I'm going to a hen party and we've all to give the name of a song we hate (I don't know why). I'm struggling. Any suggestions?

Anything by U2, especially "with or without you". Any song with excessive warbling where they sing 10 notes instead of one e.g Mariah Carey & anything with a twee, overly breathy voice e.g Ellie Goulding, the Cranberries.

Anything by Coldplay. Music for people who don't like music. Aural Pinot Grigio

Can't stand anything by Michael Jackson (creep) or Take That or most boy bands (bland elevator music).

DrDreReturns · 04/04/2016 07:36

Dancing in the moonlight
Anything by Prince
Anything by Whitney Houston
Anything by Arctic Monkeys
Anything by the Rolling Stones
That current Seven years old song IT'S SO SHIT!!!!!

Throwingshadeagain · 04/04/2016 07:40

In fact of all of ^ that list the Rolling Stones make me the maddest! Awful screechy rocky no real melody, not good to dance to, not good to listen to. And Mick Jagger's hideous American accent. Fuming Angry

Capricorn76 · 04/04/2016 07:42

Oh how could Forget 'Perfect 10' by Beautiful South! Awful song.

gentlydownthestreamm · 04/04/2016 07:43

Oh god, I like the majority of songs people are suggesting! Mostly in a novelty kind of way, but still.

For me it would be pretty much anything by Rhianna, her songs make me feel like someone is hammering the same repeated shouty lyrics angrily into my brain. Except Umbrella which is less shouty and less bad.

Songs by Boyzone and Westlife all sound like dirge to me.

lottielou7 · 04/04/2016 07:44

Cheerleader - bloody ridiculous song Angry

gentlydownthestreamm · 04/04/2016 07:50

See, I genuinely really like both Cheerleader and Perfect 10! And I really love Walking on Sunshine, which has been mentioned loads of times on this thread.

cheapandcheerful · 04/04/2016 07:53

I love most of the songs on here. Even just reading the titles of them takes me back to a carefree and happy time in my life.

For me it's:
Waterloo by Abba
Up upside your head.

queenmools · 04/04/2016 07:56

Anything by Beautiful South they are sooo moany and people think it is lovely, suitable for school functions music but I don't think they have actually listened to the lyrics.
I agree with the music for people who don't like music comment so I hate anything by The feeling, Maroon 5, Robbie Williams and Texas for that reason.
I can't stand fairground by Simply Red it goes on and on. However the song that I hate the most and I know that no one will agree with me is...Bohemian Rhapsody! Just so weird and screechy.

MartinaJ · 04/04/2016 07:57
  • Anything by Rihanna (except when she sang with Eminem, he single-handedly got the songs to great levels)
  • Celine Dion, especially My Heart Will Go On (makes me very cruel and wish for it to stop)
  • Jason Derulo's Cheerleader, as it's such a stupid sexist song

I love the Achy Breaky Heart ever since it appeared in one of the best TV moments ever in X-Files "Babylon"

Mamadothehump · 04/04/2016 08:02

Perfect day. Dullest song ever!

Bellatrixurstrange · 04/04/2016 08:41

Gypsy woman by Crystal Waters or whatever the fuck she's called "La-do-lee-la-do-la" with that terrible church organ battering away. Fuck off - my ears are bleeding!
Yy to Wires by Athlete. Boooring.
Lift me up by Geri Halliwell
Anything by Celine Dion.
That awful Kanye West, Rhianna and Paul McCartney song.
Rhianna Work it. Fuck off -work it somewhere else, quietly and to yourself.
Poison by Nicole whatshername from Pussycat Cat Dolls. Crap song. Crap everything.
Cotton eyed Joe. Urrgghhhhh. No.
Chasing cars - Snow Patrol. Could it BE any more depressing? No.
Never Gonna Give You Up - Rick Astley. Caustic soda for the ears
Bony M Megamix.Hell on earth.
I'm sure I'll think of many more. I hate many songs.

hyperhypermum · 04/04/2016 08:41

Anything by Drake, especially Cellphone!

Roussette · 04/04/2016 08:51

Just googled Cotton Eyed Joe. why why why, I know it, it's now stuck in my head

Need to add "Heart of Jars" or whatever it's called. Have to run from the room if it's on

thatcoldfeeling · 04/04/2016 08:51

WetWetWet - Love is all Around AND Julia (fucking well) Says. Hate both.

Bruno Mars' Lazy Song - yuk.

Obvs that Robin Thicke Blurred Lines monstrosity. (& anything else with misogynistic/abusive lyrics)

Jamie Lawson pratting on about how he 'wasn't expecting that' (Oh STFU!).

I could really go on. I love my music, but when there is something that pisses me off it really pisses me off!

gentlydownthestreamm · 04/04/2016 09:14

Oh, just thought, James Blunt songs! The one about three wise men, with totally bizarre lyrics. And his singing voice is extremely grating too. I can't reconcile how funny he is on Twitter with how much I dislike his songs.
