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)!

Another vote for Loveshack by B52s
Daniel Powter Had a Bad Day was played in every shop and radio station virtually continuously for months a decade or so back, drove me crazy.
Take That (Let it) Shine massively overplayed eurgh
Anything by The Feeling - are they the laziest song writers ever? SO REPETITIVE
There’s definitely more...

Oh and Come On Eileen. Hate it. HATE IT!

Steaksauce · 19/02/2018 00:06

And all those faux folksy bands that wear stupid hats like Mumford and Sons. They can all fuck off.

And while I'm thinking of twats in hats James Bay can get to fuck as well.

Thank you Ssss

In the living years by Mike and the Mechanics

Twang · 19/02/2018 00:13

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

@UgandanKnuckles thats the ones!

EnthusiasmIsDisturbed · 19/02/2018 00:13

Dreams by Gabrielle I hate the song

Hard Knock Life the Jay Z version it’s utter shite

Rule The World by Take That

Sarah0574 · 19/02/2018 00:14

That song that was played to death on the radio about a year ago that starts 'When I was seven years old...' It makes me want to slit my wrists that one ...

DontLetMeBeMisunderstood · 19/02/2018 00:14

Blurred Lines - "you're a good girl, I know you want it..." - wtvf!!

Also, Back for Good by Take That "whatever I did, whatever I said, I didn't mean it" - well if you don't know what you said or did, then how can you be sorry? Hmm

ReanimatedSGB · 19/02/2018 00:15

Delighted to see so many people hate Angels. It's one of my twat-indicators - anyone who likes that appalling piece of shit is never going to be a friend of mine.
My other hates - anything by Bjork. Can't stand women who carry on like they are five-year-old pixies.
Savage Garden Truly Madly Deeply - the soundtrack to every chav wedding where the bride is pregnant and the groom has been shagging all the bridesmaids.
Impossible - not sure if the original or the James Arthur version is worse. Probably James Arthur - will you just BLOW YOUR FUCKING NOSE?

Sarah0574 · 19/02/2018 00:17

Oh and I thought that 'Freed from Desire' song went 'My love has got no money - he's got his trombolese'. I always assumed trombolese was a musical instrument, like a trombone Blush

Sarah0574 · 19/02/2018 00:18

That song Naked by James Arthur is pretty horrendous, so repetitive and I really don't want to imagine him naked!

salsmum · 19/02/2018 00:22

Just wanna dance the night away ugh and anything by Roy Orbison and 99.9% of the dreary Beatles.

dustarr73 · 19/02/2018 00:24

Otis, Life Is Life.I really hate that song

Ssssurvey · 19/02/2018 00:30

Girlfriend in a Coma by The Smiths heralded the end of an era

NumbersLetters · 19/02/2018 00:30

Are we human...or are we dancers? Aaaarrrrgggghhhhhh

overnightangel · 19/02/2018 00:33

Ooh I love Eternal Flame, the snare drum sound in the end part is the most 80s thing ever!
Flowers for Hillsborough my cousin was there not hurt but those memories never left him.

@abbey44 I love Africa by Toto but the lack of rhyme in that line is terrible!

Ed Sheeran is music for people with no imagination, I hate that him, Adele,Coldplay, are the most popular artists. Just dull mass prouducex self indulgent shite.

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 19/02/2018 00:40

Eternal Flame was my wedding song Blush

stripycreature · 19/02/2018 00:43

Nottalotta and Laiste - the song is Freed From Desire by Gala. I was singing it the other day. Smile

ReanimatedSGB · 19/02/2018 01:04

Oh my yes, the 'once I was seven years old' song. Mate, no one cares. You sound like you're still seven and think you're interesting and special when you're not...

Ilovechocolatebuttons · 19/02/2018 01:14

Ok finally remembered my password! So pleased to see you got the love has another 2 haters! And to the poster who said dancing in the moonlight - that’s definitely number 3!

One of my favs in here - Africa by Toto!

Dreams by Gabrielle is truly awful!!! Agree!

I also hate Sinead O'Connor- Nothing compares to you... she just whines

Drivemecrazy1974 · 19/02/2018 05:14

All I Want For Christmas is You - by Mariah Carey - I really REALLY hate that song and I HATE that it gets lauded as one of the best Christmas songs every bloody year - it's shit, and it's also a bloody lie because MC is one of the biggest divas out there!
Also think Bohemian Rhapsody and Imagine and both overplayed and the worst songs by Queen and John Lennon.
But then again, if there was a thread about songs I love, some of the ones previously mentioned as hated would be loved by me!
We can't all like or hate the same stuff I guess!!

HuskyMcClusky · 19/02/2018 05:44

Savage Garden Truly Madly Deeply - the soundtrack to every chav wedding where the bride is pregnant and the groom has been shagging all the bridesmaids.

😂 So true.

See also: Ed Sheeran’s fucking dire offering, ‘Perfect’.

Admit it, mate, you only wrote that pile of steaming shite so that it could be the ‘first dance wedding song’ of every bride busting out of her strapless polyester this decade. 🙄
