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)!

Groove is in the heart by Dee lite gives me the total rage and turn off when Coldplay are on, cannot stand them

DannyLaRuesBestFrock · 18/02/2018 22:10

Build me up buttercup. Gives me the rage.

Ed sheerans shape of you makes me feel physically repulsed.

Sam smith one. In fact any by him. Miserable AF and he doesn't even form his words properly.

The one by adele where she wails about when they were young or something.

Twang · 18/02/2018 22:13

Most of Adele's stuff.

Secret Smile by Semisonic.

Bad Day by Daniel Powter gives me the rage.

Twang · 18/02/2018 22:17

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

I always sang it as 'jamborees' Grin

(And it's Freed from Desire by an Italian group whose name escapes me)

Hepzibar · 18/02/2018 22:21

I just called to say I love you - Stevie Wonder. Hate it

Hello - Lionel Ritchie. Just no (and the video is worse).

Ontheboardwalk · 18/02/2018 22:21

I love Suzanne Vega but Tom’s Diner makes me feel really ill. It must be the tone and speed that makes me distressed. And yes I know I’m not really distressed but it makes me feel really anxious

FartAtTheMaddingCrowd · 18/02/2018 22:25

goose1964 agree with both of yours, also Imagine by John Lennon since it was Number 1 for about 100 years.**
Anything by Ed Sheehan (wish washy), Radiohead (wailing tosh), Coldplay (just urgh!).**

abbey44 · 18/02/2018 22:29

Africa by Toto. Something about the way they shoehorn 'Seeeeeeerengeti' in with no regard to rhyme or scansion. Have to turn the radio off sharpish when that comes on.

Sparrowlegs248 · 18/02/2018 22:34

@Twang I thought it was trampoline until I saw it on a misheard lyrics thread!

Sparrowlegs248 · 18/02/2018 22:39

@ShotsFired is it Mumford and sons?

Madieracake · 18/02/2018 22:53

Fairground by Simple Red. Destest it with a passion.

Gemini69 · 18/02/2018 22:59

Eddi Reader.. can't stick her

Steaksauce · 18/02/2018 23:04

Anything by David Bowie
Anything by that squawk machine Beyonce
Anything by Sam Smith
Trash by Suede
Anything by the Spice Girls
I don't know who sings it but it's always on adverts "the first time ever I saw your face" one. It's an awful song and the word "ever" is in the wrong bloody place in the sentence!

Helendee · 18/02/2018 23:16

Anything by Paloma Faith!

overnightangel · 18/02/2018 23:34

@Dljlr
“Just to re emphasise, her contract has been terminated”

m.youtube.com/watch?v=0sJcRkjOkTg

Still makes me laugh!

overnightangel · 18/02/2018 23:34

Anything by Adele, Clean Bandit or Ed Sheeran

FloydOnThePull · 18/02/2018 23:46

Life by Des'ree

"I don't want to see a ghost,
That's the sight that I fear most,
I'd rather have a piece of toast,
Watch the evening news'

'I'm a superstitious girl
I'm the worst in the world
Never walk under ladders
I keep a rabbits tail'

WHAT THE FLIPPING FLOP ARE YOU ON ABOUT?!

(Also - Sam Smith sounds like a flock of honking geese)

LockedOutOfMN · 18/02/2018 23:48

Sweet Caroline

Everybody's Dancing In The Moonlight

anything sung by Frank Sinatra, can't stand his voice

UgandanKnuckles · 18/02/2018 23:50

Anything by La Roux (if they're still about) makes me want to set things on fire. Also that fuckin "IT'S NOT MY NAME!!!" piece of shite that was popular a few years back.

(And Freed from Desire is by Gala!)

overnightangel · 18/02/2018 23:53

La Roux will always be “the daughter of that woman off the Bill”

UgandanKnuckles · 18/02/2018 23:53

I dunno who ever told her she was a singer... she's got a voice that could peel paint!

EfficiencyDeficiency · 18/02/2018 23:55

I hate Eternal Flame by The Bangles.

I was 11 years old when it came out and it was the weekend of Hillsborough and we were there. The song just haunts me.

Ssssurvey · 19/02/2018 00:02

EfficiencyDeficiency so sorry for you being at Hillsborough Flowers

thegirlanachronism · 19/02/2018 00:03

I'm not sure of the artist but the song that starts "loving you is easy 'cause you're beautiful" makes my jaw clench. I'm not sure if it's the lyrics or the screeching but I can't stand it!

Ssssurvey · 19/02/2018 00:04

Hate Lady in Red with a passion, but love Sheeran, don't understand the hate, his earlier music is much better than Divide though
