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

I can't stand that new one that they keep playing on Radio 2 at the moment. Apparently, it's by Niall Horan.

The lyrics are so rubbish and pedestrian:
"Nice to meet ya, what's your name?"
"Let me treat you to a drink"

What's all that about? You might as well just sing your shopping list.

I think the average shopping list might be better than some of the dirge they play on heart radio. (They just want to play Christmas songs really , but it's too early yet!
) they can't wait to get Slade on there!

Happy by Pharrell Williams

Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof

Never Ever by All Saints.

We always sing:
"Was it that I never paid enough attention?"
"Or was it that I gave you that infection?"

Also, what's with the line "The alphabet runs right from A to Z" ? It's a rubbish enough obvious basic fact to shove in there for no apparent reason apart from to fill the line and provide a rhyme but also their pronunciation of 'zed' the British way to rhyme with 'head' and then changing it to 'zee' the American way, so that it rhymes with 'me' ?!?!??!

I wonder if they also considered such meaningful alternative lyrics as
"I only wear tights of 40 denier - Nairobi is the capital of Ken-ya"
shortly followed by
"Climate change has caused El Niño and La Niña - Nairobi is the capital of Keen-ya"

A few questions that I need to know.’ It’s a few answers that I need to know you fucking idiot

That reminds me of another... Independent Women, Destiny's Child.
"Question: tell me what you think about me"

Er, that's not a question.

'Heroes' by David Bowie. The song itself is quite good, especially the tune, but the part "I, I wish you could swim - like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim". Was he smoking something when he wrote that?

I always imagine it as something Father Ted is trying to explain very slowly to Father Dougal:

"Yes, Dougal, it's a very useful skill to be able to swim. You know dolphins? Well, they can swim as well!"

Last Christmas , it drives me mad.
Most music from the eighties.

I was on another thread about the 'happy 'song and a ' a room without a roof' just means ' the sky's the limit'! I didn't know this but , mumsnet is good for finding out random stuff!

Steal My Girl by One Direction was on the radio a few days ago and it is such utter shite that even now thinking of it makes me cross.

First of all, if you steal a human it's called abduction and I'm unsure anyone should be singing songs celebrating that. I have no second of all, but the song is shit and that's that.

Any song where that mentions running away, usually "with you" (I'm looking at you, The Corrs).
No, you're an adult, you're free to leave and go wherever you like.

In My Blood by Shawn Mendes.

But that’s more about what I take from the lyrics, rather than the actual lyrics
“Just have a drink and you’ll feel better.
Just take her home and you’ll feel better.”
It just makes me uncomfortable

Rude as mentioned by pp.

There's not much to like about Billy Joel. Apart from the songs people have already mentioned, there's We Didn't Start the Fire, which is one big shrug about American foreign policy and war mongering, and Tell Her About It, which states that "a nice girl wouldn't tell you what you should do". Yes, women, be meek and passive or you won't be considered to be nice.

Also, She's a Lady by Tom Jones. She's got style, she's got grace, and she always knows her place. Just yuk.

More Than Words
A Little Less Conversation.
Chain Reaction by Diana Ross
Frankieeee (do you remember me)
Loving You Is Easy Cos You're Beautiful - squeally shite
All squeally shite.
Shotgun (or anything else) by George Ezra. Why does this man have a record contract?

I read on mumsnet that ' a little less conversation ' was about a man getting a blow job! Some Elvis song lyrics are suspect.
Had no idea.
So many odd / horrible lyrics around.

Yes "way down"

My least favourite lyric ever is probably "Under my Thumb" by the Rolling Stones.

...It's down to me
The difference in the clothes she wears
Down to me, the change has come
She's under my thumb

Under my thumb
It's a squirmin' dog who's just had her day
Under my thumb
A girl who has just changed her ways
It's down to me
Yes it is
The way she does just what she's told down to me
The change has come
She's under my thumb

Oh anything by Miss professional gold digger divorcer attacks people with bottles in nightclubs Cheryl 'Cole/Tweedy/ Falangi whatever the heck she's called...'

I read this as “soups that annoy you”

I hate mulligatawny and I need to get my eyes tested.

That stupid “ I'm gonna take my horse to the old town road, I'm gonna ride until I can't no more” song

DS(12) and his friends sing it constantly at each other... I hate it so very much.

I hate mulligatawny
Is that by Paul McCartney Allmyarseandpeggymartin?

@DioneTheDiabolist I think it’s one of his later ones with Wings

I thought I'd give 'Behind Closed Doors' by Charlie Rich a mention. I do like the song, but the lyrics circa 1974 are very much of their time, if not twenty years prior!

Well great, Dione that was a genuinely good joke but trouble is now you’ve put the real Paul McCartney/wings song that sounds a bit like “mulligatawny” into my head. So annoying. It was no.1 for about a year when I was about 7. I still remember every single blooming word. Grrr.

Yes yes to the PP who said Natasha Beddingfield! "These words are my own..."
Well clearly not, eh? High-per-bowl. Cringe.

'Right Said Fred' as sung on a stupid advert for equity release or something, people singing and dancing outside of a group of houses. Drives me potty.
