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!

Ok, fair enough. I just "never got" the Beatles (but only born in the actual 60's).

Do you think I'm sexy?
Lucky stars by Dean Friedman
I don't like Mondays

I was born 1970 and I still hate "True" - it's just utter crap! Mind you, mine and DP's song is Opposites Attract by Paula Abdul, annoyingly. That'll be a weird one at our wedding this year (after 27 years together).

Although I do know a couple who have "Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini" by Timmy Mallett as their special song... Hmm

I can't bear 'Imagine'. Most overrated song ever.

RoboticSealpup · 02/01/2017 21:32

Chasing cars by fucking Snow Patrol.

It's the most banal, monotonous piece of shit to ever disgrace my ears.

Promise Me (Beverley Craven) makes me wish evil things would happen to her, when in reality I'm a really naiiice person.

alltoomuchrightnow · 03/01/2017 13:52

Two more 90s horrors..
What's Up (Four Non Blondes) - If it was played in a shop I always had to leave
and Independent Love Song (Scarlet)

Unicorn1981 · 05/01/2017 18:48

Lay Your Hands by Reef. I hate his grating voice and the boring, repetitive melody.

Niggit · 05/01/2017 20:05

Fruitbat1980, this might improve "Torn" for you a little bit...

Niggit · 05/01/2017 20:15

Brilliant, brilliant thread!

Personally, I have to turn the radio off every time Madonna comes on.

Jason DeRulo and his erection ("It's too hard to sleep..." - Yeah, subtle Hmm ). Gaaah! I hate that bloody song. I would pay good money to have her "open the door, wearing nothing but a smile" - then the smile slips off her face and she says, "Oh, it's you. What do you want? I'm expecting somebody..."

Rihanna and her fucking umbrella - ella - ella...

Thankyou, I feel better now.

AthenasOwl · 05/01/2017 20:43

I always thought the lyrics were 'it's too hot to sleep'! Can't believe I missed that lol

AthenasOwl · 05/01/2017 20:44

But zombie by the cranberries makes me murderous.

SeymourButtz · 05/01/2017 21:02

This makes me want to stick pins in my ears.

Talith · 05/01/2017 21:49

Dr Knickerbocker Number 9 which is a kids' song we sung at Rhythm Time. It is kind of dirgey and I was preg with #2 when taking my eldest to the class and sick as a dog with morning sickness. When I hear the tune it brings it all back (if not up)...

noeffingidea · 05/01/2017 22:06

seymourButtz I don't think you can really call that a song, tbh. It's just a collection of random sounds.

Winterc00kie · 05/01/2017 22:39

Anything that capital FM plays

Candy or love my life by Robbie.

Yes to that - all wanna do is make love to you song the lyric "we made magic that night" vom.

Hate "going under" or what ever it is by talking heads the sweaty

Squeeze "up the junction" is grim xx

Twelfthnighteve · 05/01/2017 22:39

Anything by Ronan Keating, especially the 'you say it best when you say nothing at all' one Angry.

Anything by Tom Jones.

Bluesrunthegame · 05/01/2017 22:45

Anything by Kate Bush. Anything at all. Hate every single note of it.

eachtigertires · 05/01/2017 23:53

Royals by Lorde. Absolutely hate it. And anything by Justin beiber. Actually, most songs I hear on the radio at work blah blah blah about nothing. The odd one has a catchy tune.

RochelleGoyle · 06/01/2017 00:54

Tubthumping by Chumbawamba. Hate, hate, hate it. Also Ruby by Kaiser Chiefs.

GilMartin · 06/01/2017 01:18

Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go by Wham! - Everything about it makes me want to commit murder

I agree: the nursery rhyme lyrics Gogo/solo/yo-yo rhyme, the brass section, the vocals

All horrible.

However it was the basis for one of the best tabloid headlines ever after George Michael got caught cottaging:

'Zip me up before you go go'. (I suppose they couldn't really use 'Careless Wanker')

Amethyst81 · 06/01/2017 01:31

Black eyed peas "Ive got a feeling", just annoying yuckness.

ghostwatch · 06/01/2017 01:54

Hate hate hate "you've got that vibe" R Kelly Fingers in ears and leaves room or dance floor or turns off car radio.
Almost as bad "dancing queen"

ghostwatch · 06/01/2017 01:56

Yes wintercookie to Robbie Williams "I love my life" what a shit song I have to turn that off instantly!

purpleclaire · 06/01/2017 01:59

Unchained melody - so depressing, utter dirge!
