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've got two, both by Atlantic Starr; Always and Secret Lovers

Both are vomit inducing, particularly Secret Lovers (another one about a couple having an affair).

Yuk

Kiss from a rose by Seal it gives me the rage and I'm tensed up now just writing this 😂

Dancing in the Moonlight - all versions but particularly Toploader! Gives me judders even thinking a bout it.. 🤢

Abracadabra and Centrefold for the grim lyrics.

Shape of You; trying to tell some sort of story, but it’s full of inconsistencies (they’re thrifty, so they nick food from a buffet - thieving sods - but then they get a taxi), and just boring (having a conversation about how their family are doing okay). Oh and the sheets smelling of him/her/them.

Shape of You by Ed Sheeran and The Flood by Take That. Both catchy songs but also both with glaring grammatical errors that make me really angry. DS thinks it's hilarious to play them in his car to wind me up because predictably I can't keep it in!

All the favourite Christmas songs they play at you in the supermarket, especially if they use sleighbells.

Loving You by Minnie Riperton. Like nails down a chalkboard. And yes I do know who her daughter is.

It raised lots of awareness and funds so was overall a good thing, but the lyrics of 'Do they know it's Christmas' have always annoyed me because of the generic references to 'Africa'. Africa is enormous. 'There won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time' - really?

Anything by any 'boy band' ever. Also see Roman Keating and Robbie Williams.

Also....M-People. Her voice makes me curl up and cringe inside.

Umbrella-ella-ella...

Want to want me by Jason DeRulo and his performing erection. "It's too hard to sleep..." Yeah, subtle.

Cheerleader by Omi

Back for Good by Take That. "Whatever I said, whatever I did, I didn't mean it..." Such a sincere apology.

And on the subject of grammar, in Mr Brightside he sings, "He takes off her dress now." Why was he wearing it in the first place? I think we should be told...

Thanks, I feel better now.

Clean bandit - rockabye

No idea why. Just hate it.

The new Taylor Swift song. Anything by Adele (great voice but God she's a whiney bitch) and I just don't get the Ed Sheeran mania.

Take Good Care Of My Baby by Bobby Vee - aside from the inappropriateness and infantilisation of referring to a grown woman as a baby, it's the very epitome of multi-man controlling of a woman.

Only Sixteen by Craig Douglas, Happy Birthday, Sweet Sixteen by Neil Sedaka and You're Sixteen, You're Beautiful And You're Mine by various different artists. The creepy man singing it is obviously several years older - if he were also 16 or maybe 17, why would he even think to mention it, much less make a big deal of it?

I Drove All Night - "I woke you from your sleep to make love to you.... IS THAT ALRIGHT?" Hardly a textbook example of free consent, is it? Also, is that meant to be "I CREPT in your room" or "I CRAPPED in your room" ?! If the latter, what kind of psycho brute is this person?!

Also, two songs that aren't normally linked but both have the exact same irritating issue - My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion and Only You by The Platters. Both insert a completely unnecessary 'D' sound in for no reason whatsoever. "And my heart will go on Dand on"; Only you can Duh make this world seem bright." Why?! I keep thinking that Celine is uncertainly seeking confirmation from two male friends that her belief is true - My heart will go on? Dan? Don? That is correct from a scientific perspective, isn't it?

And that very peculiar one - Remember Me? by Blue Boy. If your ex is so thick that asking "Remember me? I'm the one who had your babies" isn't enough to jog his memory, you're going to have to give him a lot more different big clues rather than just endlessly repeating it. And, before you ask, adding "Dingdiggidiggiding, dingdingding, diggiding" doesn't really count as a helpful further clue.

Great post SausageRoll, I hate that Remember Me song. Lazy songwriting at best.

Can't believe someone mentioned Always by Bon jovi though, that song has everything, it's a masterpiece.

Shotgun by George Ezra. Stupid song and lyrics.

Rocking around the Christmas tree - 'later we'll have some pumpkin pie and we'll do some carolling' - does anybody do either of those things as part of their family Christmas? Or dance 'merrily in the new old fashioned way'?
And 'Memory' from Cats - tedious dirge.

That one where the man sings about not wanting to close his eyes to sleep so he can watch his Mrs all the time. Seriously freaky.

I love so many of these songs.... now seeing them in a different light

My offering is from Do They Know It's Christmas (Feed the World); "and there won't be snow in Africa this Christmastime"

Gets my goat every time!
A) Africa is a continent, not a country
B) what's that got to do with anything? Pretty sure it only snows on mountains in that part of the world, and possibly it does at Christmastime

@WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll I assumed that Remember Me song was a person who had been abandoned as a baby by their father. However Wikipedia informs me:

"The track is built around samples from "Woman of the Ghetto" by Marlena Shaw: "Remember me? I'm the one who had your babies, I", in reference to African-American maids raising white children for little pay...whereas the "ging, gi-gi-gi-gi-ging..." sample repeated throughout the song is the scat portion of the original song's refrain."

Might be less annoying now.

Anything sung by Adele. Cheer up love, please.

I constantly get ear worms whenever my daughter watches Disney. I get Mary Poppins, Cinderella and Moana songs whirling around in my head. Then my son watches the Wiggles and omg they can be in my head for ages.

Songs that annoy me from an adult point of view. Always found that sex is on fire song annoying. Mariah Carey has always annoyed me too. She's so screechy and slow haha

Cheerleader by Omi really creams my corn, the whole bloody thing is about everything she does for him but whoopdeedoo he's made his selection and his mother approves so presumably said cheerleader should be over the moon! (running for the hills more like)

Oh and 'If you're not then one' by Daniel Beddingfield. What a creep! Sounds like a stalkers soundtrack, yuk

P.s when I was pregnant that song.... I keep going to the river to pray cus I need something that can wash away all this pain. Whatever it says .... It used to make me feel so sick it was a trigger for my morning sickness. I think it was too of the charts in 2014
