Lyrically, musically or any other reason.

I can't stand Spandau Ballet's "True" - there I've said it. I'm out and proud.

"Why do I find it so hard to write the next line?" - perhaps because it's a fucking shite song Tony and it makes no sense at all!

Twist In My Sobriety - Tanika Tikaram. Awful.
Toy Soldiers - Martika. Horrendous.

Come on Eileen
Ghostbusters

daisychain01 · 01/01/2017 08:50

Sorry I haven't RTFT
The song about seeing a ghost and rather eat a piece of toast and watch the TV. Really??!?

Whoever that lyricist was, they need shooting.

LapinR0se · 01/01/2017 08:58

Yes!!!! No one has mentioned my lovely Celine Dion. I love Celine but I know everyone else hates her.

I personally cannot stand anything with hideous rude misogynist lyrics such as that Blow My Whistle thing Confused

fruityb · 01/01/2017 09:03

Never Ever by All Saints - hearing that spoken intro makes me aggressive.

Come on Eileen - fucking hate it

Katie Melua

Anything by Jessie J - how to over sing every song.

fruityb · 01/01/2017 09:04

Des'ree: Life. That's the song daisychain afraid of the dark in a park

Groove is in the Heart
Love shack
Nearly all Rihanna

5000candlesinthewind · 01/01/2017 09:13

Has anyone said Phill Collins - you can't hurry love?
It makes my brain want to explode

Middleoftheroad · 01/01/2017 09:20

Lifed by The Shitehouse family
The Greatest Day by Fake Twat
Anything by Knobbie Williams
Anything by Michael Pube-le
You Raise me Up - whoever sings it
Missing You or whatever it's called my Muff Daddy or Whatever his name is these days

cariboo · 01/01/2017 09:21

Love Shack B52s
Anything by the Cranberries or Bjork

But the all-time worst is Ebony & Ivory by McCartney. I loathe that piece of syrupy shit.

SlipperyJack · 01/01/2017 09:22

The opening bars of Sex On Fire by Kings Of Leon is reliable for turning me from calm middle aged mum into ravening red eyed zombie in two nanoseconds.

Yoksha · 01/01/2017 09:24

Bohemian Raphsody by queen. Been re upholstering seats all week. In the zone, accomplishing much. Then that bloody bastarding song came on and my brain went to pot.

Middleoftheroad · 01/01/2017 09:24

Oh yeh Des'ree Life...that's the pants. David Brent loves that song.

I hate the M People song that goes 'what have you done to make you feel proud' or similar. There's a sign up at boys' school to say 'what have you done today to make you feel proud?' vom.

AvonCallingBarksdale · 01/01/2017 09:24

Buble - anything that he sings

MyCarHasBrokenDownAgain · 01/01/2017 09:40

Unchained Melody. No, just no ...

dawnmist · 01/01/2017 09:43

Simply having a wonderful Christmas time. Paul McCartneys made a few million from that dire crap.

daisychain01 · 01/01/2017 09:44

Ah yes fruit and middle, that classic Life, how could I forget it.

I wonder how Desiree must have felt being lumbered with singing such a load of bollox. She must have been at a desperate point in her life, poor girl.

Brookofdonny · 01/01/2017 09:57

A seasonal one - Mary's Boy Child by Boney M. I DESPISE that song. It sends me into a complete rage every time I hear it and it's on just about every Christmas playlist. Utter shit.

GilMartin · 01/01/2017 10:16

I really don't get the hatred for Come on Eileen. Yes it gets players to death at weddings/cheesy discos and like ABBA's Dancing Queen far from their best work, but Dexys are a great band and I don't think Come on Eileen is a bad song at all and the idea for a should band with celtic fiddles was inspired.

GilMartin · 01/01/2017 10:19

Sorry Soul band with celtic fiddles

BadToTheBone · 01/01/2017 10:21

OMG, I read the title and before I opened the thread I answered, Spandau Ballet. True and Gold both make me rage and have me running to turn the radio off. If they ever come on Dh looks at me and laughs, such is it known the rage they instil. Lol!

MrsMattBomer · 01/01/2017 10:26

Ironic by Alanis Morissette - what the actual fuck is that song even about?

I'm adding "MacArthur Park" to this list too because we were all tricked into buying that shit.

Single Ladies by Beyonce. Crap song anyway but the lyrics/sentiment are disgusting. If you like "it" put a ring on "it". When "it" is a person/woman. Women are not "its". So demeaning and vile.

BadToTheBone · 01/01/2017 10:32

Ha ha ha, I've now read the rest of the thread and have found myself nodding a lot.

Dancing in the Moonlight by Toploader, how many more words can they say that end in the "ight" sound. I add one 'shite'!
