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)!

None of the songs so far are anywhere near as awful as the JCB song by Nizlopi. Hate everything about it. It even mentions holding up traffic. Angry

Shyposter · 18/02/2018 19:30

I've got a few Angry

I just called to say I love you - Stevie Wonder (I love everything else he's ever done though)

Everything I do I do for you - Bryan Adams (it was played so much when it was released that I just grew to hate it)

Lady in Red - Chris de Burgh

The Power of Love - Jennifer Rush.

I can't stand Happy. I have to turn off the radio every time it comes on.
Also a song about running by Beyonce.
Also a song by Sam Smith and, I think, John Legend. It has no tune

Summer of 69. It makes my teeth itch.

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 18/02/2018 20:05

Shape of You by Ed Sheeran, and The Flood by Take That, purely for the grammatically incorrect constructs (push and pull like a magnet do? Fuck off Sheeran. There was more of them than us? Up yours Barlow)

Sorry by Justin Bieber makes me want to scream, as does Umbrella by Rihanna.

Gemini69 · 18/02/2018 20:09

Everything.... by Ed Sheeran Sam Smith Leona Lewis Justin Bieber

gillybombilly · 18/02/2018 20:09

ABBA's Dancing Queen - even thinking about it puts me in a bad mood.

Bumdishcloths · 18/02/2018 21:01

Red Red Wine by UB40. Ugh.

Bumdishcloths · 18/02/2018 21:01

And anything by Falco.

realwoodlogs · 18/02/2018 21:06

Don’t know how to quote, but OP I HATE you’ve got the love. Any version, was so annoyed when kasabian did a version of it at a gig once.

My husband thinks I’m insane though.

Dustysparrow · 18/02/2018 21:06

Havana by Camilla whatsherface. It's so monotonous and dull, I can't understand why it's so popular.

GirlsBlouse17 · 18/02/2018 21:20

Lovely Day by Bill Withers a Lovely Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay ! Argh!

Poshjock · 18/02/2018 21:25

I always hated "je ne regrette rein" that warble would make me want to commit murder.

I also hate Adele's Hello and Someone Like You. I listened to the lyrics of these two and everything she whines about is so stalkerish

Hueandcry · 18/02/2018 21:27

shyposter are you me? Either that or you read my mind as your list matches mine - exactly Hmm

goose1964 · 18/02/2018 21:30

Mull of Kintyre by wings
Sailing by Rod Stewart

That really gives
my age away

Ducktalesooooh · 18/02/2018 21:31

Kiss from a Rose by Seal. A friend of DH's had it as his first dance and I almost had to leave the room

DH hates Lovely Day. The elongation of the word 'daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay' makes his bits go funny, apparently.

Laiste · 18/02/2018 21:32

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

Can i just thank you. I don't mind this song and for years have been singing '' ..... he's got his tangerines''. I knew it wasn't right Grin

So - for the actual thread:
Fucking 'Roar' by Katie Perry. Oh just shut UP.

And - anything by the woman with the deliberate stupid squeaky cut out in her voice. I'll try and find out who it is. I turn the radio straight off.

amprev · 18/02/2018 21:34

China in your hand - T'Pau. Reminds me of being on my own at the end of school discos! I loathe it although quite happy for time alone these days.

ShotsFired · 18/02/2018 21:40

Anything by Coldplay. Anything.

It's all so bloody dreary and self righteous.

ShotsFired · 18/02/2018 21:41

And anything sung by Heather Small. Her voice is just so unbearably nasal.

Never understood M People's popularity.

ShotsFired · 18/02/2018 21:43

Oh top of the list though is those berks who act like they are some fiddle-de-dee rural band but actually fairly posh nobs from Richmond or something.

Wear waistcoats and peaky blinder hats. Don't even want to google their name which I've forgotten as it'll give me the rage just thinking about them!

fanlight79 · 18/02/2018 21:48

We no speak Americano - Yolanda be cool
Blue - Eiffel 65
Single ladies - Beyoncé

All set my teeth on edge

Shyposter · 18/02/2018 21:53

Hue and cry I'm not you as far as I know 🤨 - but I suspect we might be of a similar age!

PissPotPourri · 18/02/2018 21:57

Tonight's the night by Rod Stewart. It's so so so seedy it makes me be sick a little bit in my mouth

Laiste · 18/02/2018 22:03

Specific squeaky voice woman eludes me. Googled it and it's a thing now - squeaky baby 'indy' voices. There's loads of the buggers! Grrrrr.
