Songs that annoy you - light hearted

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 don't Sex on Fire, but my predictable son says every time it's on "you can get cream for that" and it makes me want to scream, if I've heard that joke once I've heard it a thousand times.

Imagine. Imagine no possessions says the man who live in the lap of luxury in NYC. God-awful dirgey tune as well.

SerenDippitty · 06/11/2019 17:31

Don’t Cha by the Pussycat Dolls. Just think the lyrics are horrible.

crispysausagerolls · 06/11/2019 17:35

Lolllll at the dingdingdingding thing

Sherloidbaisherloid · 06/11/2019 17:38

Anything by Michael Buble, can’t bear him!

LHMB · 06/11/2019 17:38

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

Ella Henderson Ghost. I love that song lol

Turning Japanese by the Vapours

"I've got your picture, I've got your picture
I'd like a million of you all 'round my cell
I want the doctor to take your picture
So I can look at you from inside as well"

Mumof21989 · 06/11/2019 17:39

That's the one. It just brings back memories of everything making me want to throw up haha

woodhill · 06/11/2019 17:39

Just eugh lyric

SuchAToDo · 06/11/2019 17:40

Shaggy " it's wasn't me"

To be a true player you have to know how to play
If she say a night, convince her say a day
Never admit to a word when she say
And if she claim, ah, you tell her, "Baby, no way"

But she caught me on the counter (It wasn't me)
Saw me bangin' on the sofa (It wasn't me)
I even had her in the shower (It wasn't me)
She even caught me on camera (It wasn't me)

She saw the marks on my shoulder (It wasn't me)
Heard the words that I told her (It wasn't me)
Heard the scream get louder (It wasn't me)
She stayed until it was over

It's a song about a woman catching her man cheating on her and he is gaslighting her

Blurred Lines.

crispysausagerolls · 06/11/2019 17:44

I hate any song where you have to google large patches of lyrics, just because it’s so unclear. Most recent one is Coldplay “Orphans”, but there was one by a female recently that drove me up the wall, sounded like gobbledegook.

UGH and the Katy Perry “I cant even go on the Internet, without even checking your name”. Really? Even twice in the same sentence?!?

Dontsweatthelittlestuff · 06/11/2019 17:48

Band aid. Do they know it’s christmas makes me want to commit acts of violence

LHMB · 06/11/2019 17:49

I still feel nauseous when I hear certain songs that used to be everywhere when I was suffering morning sickness too lol

justcly · 06/11/2019 17:50

Lukas Graham: 7 years

That strangled vocal - "Once I was seven years old". We all were mate. Get over yourself.

The80sweregreat · 06/11/2019 17:53

Katy Perry's new one ' it's not over ' or something pointless like that. Absolute dirge and very repetitive.
There is a song by basement jazck ( ?) and it sounds like a dentist drill. It came on the radio once whilst I was having root canal treatment.
Most modern rap music makes my teeth go on edge but I'm not the demographic they are aiming for!

PositiveVibez · 06/11/2019 17:54

The very rapey:

So what do you want to make those eyes at me for
When they don't mean what they say?
They make me glad.
They make me sad.
They make me want a lot of things I'll never have.
So what do you want to fool around with me for?
You lead me on and then you run away.
But never mind,
I'll get you alone some night
And then you'll surely find
You're flirting with dynamite.
So what do you want to make those eyes at me for
When they don't mean what they say?

Just gross.

The80sweregreat · 06/11/2019 17:58

That Christmas shit by Paul McCartney! Awful song.
( I do like Mariah Carey's song though! It's a Christmas classic. )

NonUrinatInVentum · 06/11/2019 18:04

Second Blurred Lines. Rapey tripe but I hate it because it's so damn catchy.

Shine bright like a diamond - DIAMONDS DON'T SHINE THEY REFLECT Angry Gives me rage any time I hear it.

Mumof21989 · 06/11/2019 18:05

@LHMB omg everyone else tells me in weird, I am pleased to meet you lol!! Which are yours?

LHMB · 06/11/2019 18:13

18:05Mumof21989 haha I don't think it's weird. It was 17 years ago but Shakira whenever wherever and No Doubt hey baby, or whatever it's called, I remember them being all over the radio when I was in the first trimester and suffering terrible nausea, now they just give me that same feeling if I ever hear them

MilkTrayLimeBarrel · 06/11/2019 18:16

Angels by Robbie Williams - really, really hate it!
You're Beautiful - James Blunt
Umbrella - Rihanna
Ruby - Kaiser Chiefs

Morporkia · 06/11/2019 18:20

Anything by Olly fucking murs

MilkTrayLimeBarrel · 06/11/2019 18:20

Oh and that terrible 'I wish it could be Christmas every day' by Wizzard! What a horrible though!

Poshjock · 06/11/2019 18:23

Adele songs send me into a rage. She’s so stalky. Calling a thousand times and turning up unannounced to spy on her now married ex.
