Songs you Hate

On the themes currently running through Mumsnet at the moment, I have a total hatred of 2 songs, not just dislike/turn off the radion but actual cringe when I hear them played at parties and will walk off the dance floor....I dislike them so much!

My most HATED is Robin S - Show me Love - it gives me the chills!

Closely followed by 'You Got The Love'
Candi Staton/Florence/whomever else thinks it's a good idea to cover this drivel!

Tell me yours! (Secretly hopes someone also hates this rubbish)!

Love Shack by the B52s - always hated it. The tune, the vocals, everything.

Also, that song by The Fugees that had the line 'One Time, Two Times, Three Times, Four Times' - by the time it got to 'Four Times', I was ready to throw something.

Your Song. Dreadful tosh made far worse in bad cover versions (looking particularly at you, Ellie Goulding).

Relight My Fire. Gives me a rushing feel in my jaw just like spiders do. Bleurgh.

It Started with a Kiss by Hot Chocolate. Creepy af.

Don't know what it's called but there was a song released some time in the last decade that had a line like 'just give me my hug' in. Was all about breaking up but this creep just wouldn't stop insisting on more physical contact before he'd finally fuck off. Gave me the total heebie-jeebies.

ConorMcGregorsChin · 18/02/2018 16:59

Angels by Robbie Williams. Not sure why. Just cringe.

Definitely agree with the Fugees and their 'many times' shite. Majorly irritating. Just Fuck off already!

Man's not hot. Big Shaq I think? Maybe I've just finally reached an age where some stuff is all a bit Emporors new clothes to me...

This is the third thread on this same topic this week!

Twocatsonebaby · 18/02/2018 18:14

Most by Adele to be honest.
Shitty love songs.

Twocatsonebaby · 18/02/2018 18:16

OP I love Florence. But that song ugh!

phoenix1973 · 18/02/2018 18:18

That one by the streets.
"Has it come to this? Wind down your aerial you're listening to the streets"
Aarrgggh.

Brittanyspears · 18/02/2018 18:20

You realise “man’s not hot” is a joke right? Big Shaq is a comedy creation.

DorisDangleberry · 18/02/2018 18:20

Anything by Queen. Novelty act with novelty songs

itsmeimcathyivecomehome · 18/02/2018 18:21

"I believe in a thing called love" by the fucking darkness.

Fuck you, fucking darkness and your squawky old woman voice. It's not funny. It's just shit!

Also Louis Armstrong "all the time in the world" makes me feel all stabby.

Twocatsonebaby · 18/02/2018 18:21

Doris I hated Queen growing up. Still think bo rap is the most overrated song in the entire world. But Freddie had magnificent vocals.

Twocatsonebaby · 18/02/2018 18:22

My dp listens to some sort of pirate song about sea men (obviously a euphemism) and one about a man putting bananas away and getting tea all over his balls Hmm
He has very questionable taste.

DorisDangleberry · 18/02/2018 18:23

Bohemian Rhapsody is three poor songs inexpertly knife and forked together with over the top guitar noodling

CrumpetsWithCheese · 18/02/2018 18:28

@Dljlr paolo nutini-candy?

Mine is the zephyr song by RHCP

AnyFucker · 18/02/2018 18:30

Come on Eileen

Just, no

hoopdeloop · 18/02/2018 18:31

I hate John Lennon’s ‘Imagine’ and Whitney Houston’s version of ‘I will always love you’

Stoptherideiwannagetoff · 18/02/2018 18:31

@MsVestibule, are you me?!?!?! Grin

Hernameisdeborah · 18/02/2018 18:32

What's Up by Four Non Blondes
Perfect 10 (i think that's what it's called) by The Beautiful Fucking South
I also hate Love Shack, tho Rock Lobster is ace

lightoflaluna · 18/02/2018 18:46

Happy by Pharrell and Uptown Funk

Urgh

Dljlr · 18/02/2018 19:03

CrumpetsWithCheese that's the one! Eurgh!

Piffle11 · 18/02/2018 19:07

Karma Chameleon gives me the rage.
Everybody's Free by Rozalla has a similar effect.

Tapandgo · 18/02/2018 19:09

God Save The Queen

Iheartdogs · 18/02/2018 19:10

"Power Of Love" - Jennifer Rush.

Sparrowlegs248 · 18/02/2018 19:12

Can't remember the name but "my lovers got no money, he's got his strong beliefs"

Also Angels byou Robbie. Ugh.

VetOnCall · 18/02/2018 19:12

I can't stand 'You Got The Love' either. If it comes on the radio I immediately turn it over regardless of which version they're playing; they're all shite.

Same goes for anything by Jess Glynne, particularly the one that kept repeating 'I'm ready for this' and anything by the King of Whiny Voices, Sam Smith. Galway Girl gives me the rage too, of course all us Irish women drink Jameson and play the fucking fiddle.
