Songs that annoy you - light hearted

[DobbyLovesSocks]

I have a minor medical procedure today so in a bid to distract myself can I please ask you for the songs that annoy you and the reason why?
Mine are: Dolly Parton 'Jolene' - asking someone not to take her man away. If your man wants to cheat he will and if he will he is not worth hanging on to.
Whitney Houston 'Saving all my love' - basically singing about having an affair. So disrespectful but it's ok because no other man will do

Natasha Bedingfield - These Words
She sings ‘these words are my own’, but they’re probably not. If they were, she’d probably know that ‘hyperbole’ (‘no hyperbole to hide behind’) is pronounced hyperbuhlee’ not ‘hyperbowl’. Never understood how that made it through the - probably extensive - editing process. Grr.

Clean bandit rockabye and symphony. They are two of the worst songs ever

Adele "...never mind, I'll find someone like you.. oo..oo......" Great voice but she is a stalker. No don't ever turn up at ex's door to ask if he misses you or if he's happy with his new wife, life etc JUST MOVE ON WITH DIGNITY And breathe.

Don't Go Changing always makes me think the Billy Joel is an absolute TWAT.
The brass neck of it!

"I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are"

Thanks pal I'm an idiot but that's cool with you because if I wasn't you'd have to make an effort?! It's just all round wanky!

When people have it as their song at weddings I wince internally 😂

Barry Manilow - 'I Write The Songs'.

He didn't even write that one....

American Pie, the radio played the whole song once it went on and on and was so long and boring.

Rupert Holmes is a very talented and underrated singer songwriter

Oh I don't doubt that. As I said it's super catchy and I enjoyed it with friends as a child. It's also good fun and it sounds like he's enjoying singing it. It's just the cheaty aspect. It outraged me as a child!

@MrsFlump

The full version of American pie is excellent - I always feel cheated with the short version

Mr.Brightside. Not only is it a paranoid rant, but it's in a horrible whiny voice too.

Same band, different song ("Somebody told me"). So what if the boyfriend looks androgynous?

Scouting for Girls' "She's so lovely". - very short on lyrics and as irritating as a raspberry pip stuck in your teeth.

Moonlight Shadow by Mike Oldfield.
"4am in the morning". Just stop it.

Shaggy - It wasn't me....
'Hahaha... Let's just laugh at infidelity... Hahaha people get hurt....'

My two most hated songs; one for the sound and one for the lyrics:

Karma Police -Radiohead. What a godawful dirge that is. Sounds like a cow dying in your chimney.

Always a woman to me - Billy Joel. She sounds like the most annoying woman on earth and it sickens me to think that any intelligent man might be keen on that sort of behaviour. I can feel my blood pressure rising just thinking about it.

Anything by Mariah Carey. Find a note and stick to it.

@Miaowing its funny how something is one persons heaven and another persons hell. There are a quite a few songs mentioned on here that I absolutely love.

Moonlight Shadow by Mike Oldfield.
"4am in the morning". Just stop it.

Oh yes, indeed! Grrrrrr!!!!!!!!

Shaggy - It wasn't me....

This version is a lot nearer the reality, I'm guessing....

Billy Joel is an absolute TWAT

Indisputibly.

His first wife Liz, for whom he wrote Just The Way You Are, She's Always A Woman To Me and others, supported him for several years when he was a penniless itinerant pianist. Then he got all sucessful and traded her in for a younger (super)model.

I bet Liz is annoyed by the Uptown Girl video.

Worst lyrics ever:

'I met a girl
She asked me my name
I told her what it was.'

• Razorlight, 'Somewhere Else'

Makes me angry every time I hear it!

Look At Me by Geri Haliwell

I’d rather not, thank you

Then he got all sucessful and traded her in for a younger (super)model

It didn’t stop there though! After the supermodel, the third one was 32 years younger. Then the fourth one was also 30+ years younger!

“I love you just the way you are...” unless you get close to 40, at which point you can bog off you wrinkly old bint.

Great thread.

Lifted by the Lighthouse Family. Flat, droning and awful.
Absolutely anything by Florence & The Machine. She sounds like Kate Bush in a blazing karaoke booth.
Blurred Lines.
In The Summertime ... if you listen to the lyrics they're horrendous (if her daddy's poor, just do what you feel ... ugh).

Anything dung by Ed Sheeran....bleurgh.....

Anything by Mariah Carey.

“I love you just the way you are...” unless you get close to 40, at which point you can bog off you wrinkly old bint.

It might not scan, but would make for a good karaoke extra verse.

Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol. So boring.

Pretty much anything by The Beasty Boys.

Something In The Air by Thunderclap Newman. Just reminds me of being on hold for hours to fucking TalkTalk when they broke my internet then refused to fix it.

Never Ever by All Saints. ‘A few questions that I need to know.’ It’s a few answers that I need to know you fucking idiot.

Tell Me Lies and Everywhere by Fleetwood Mac.

M-People, because Heather Smalls voice makes me cringe.

I could go on.
