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

'Don't cha 'does have awful lyrics and is also quite smug. No ' sisterhood' in those words!

Oh I forgot, theres a song called Rites of Passage by Fish that my ex played to me when we broke up, because he was such a self absorbed twat he thought it was the best way to make me thinking kindly of him. It basically is about a relationship that's on its arse, but the bloke has tried everything to be faithful in the face of the woman's unreasonable behaviour. My ex was a cheating cockwomble. When ever I hear the song i get a flashback to him putting it on the stereo and going out 'so you can fully absorb how difficult it's been for me without me being here for you to shout at'. Twat.

I suppose now Adele has recently divorced her next album will be more more soul searching!! I do like her though ( I know I'm in the minority) but it would be nice to hear her sing a few more upbeat songs.

That bloody Pharrell Williams song happy. Can't stand it

Young Girl by Union Gap. All about dating an underage girl but it was her fault because she looked older and led him on. Then he wails "Get out of here, before I find the time to change my mind. Cos I'm afraid we'll go too far". It's absolutely gross and I don't understand why it still gets airtime.

Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time by Paul McCartney. We're all here, and that's enough? Somebody has a low bar for Christmas enjoyment. I bet he didn't help with any of the food prep or anything because "hey, we're all here, and that's enough", but still had more than his fair share of the nut roast.

Anything that wedding DJs bung on when it's a bit quiet on the dancefloor because they can guarantee it will trigger a mass stampede of pissed in-laws. So, Come on Eileen, Hey Ya, Crazy in Love, Uptown Funk, Hi Ho Silver Lining, Chelsea Dagger...

Can't stand that Dance Monkey song and anything by Lizzo.

This is ancient but this recurrent dirge still occasionally crops up - Müll of Kintyre . Makes the dog and I howl in anguish.

'I'm at a payphone
Trying to call home
all of my change I've spent on you"

Really? Just your change? I am told this is about someone on the run, but I just think - you are cross because you spent your CHANGE on me?

Also Heaven 17 - come live with me

"I was 37, you were 17"

Similar theme

Titanium. Shine bright like a diamond.

"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...*

Hmm, could sort of make sense - but 'having' babies is usually unmistakably accepted as meaning 'giving birth to', isn't it? Maybe if they said 'raised' rather than 'had' - even then, though, they really need a few extra lyrics - and less of the Crazy Frog tributes....

Come on Eileen - I HATE it 🙉

Mike Oldfield In Dulce Jubilo, it's like nails down a blackboard and is coming up for the time of year when it's played all the time

Lots for me - but the worst is Meatloaf. How can he say he would do ANYTHING for love, and then say he won't do that?! Reminds me of my ex who told me all the time now much he loved me while spending money he didn't have and leaving me with the debts, complaining I never let him do anything while going out boozing all weekend, treating my children as second class citizens whilst worshipping his son, making promises he broke every time. Strangely enough its one of his favourite songs.......

Most Christmas songs are bad and overplayed.
Jethro Tull is normally played somewhere ; very dull Christmas song and also very old.

Oh, and Alice Cooper - her lips are either venomous, or they're poison. There ain't no such animal as venomous poison.

Anything from the 1980s because all music during that decade was crap...with the exception of Inner city "Good life"

Last Christmas by Wham - reminds me of awful office Christmas dos.

Anything from the 1980s because all music during that decade was crap...with the exception of Inner city "Good life"

And Waiting for a Train by Flash and the Pan and The Politics of Dancing by Re-flex. Exceptions I mean.

Love all these contributions. I agree with PP about Young Girl song. I recently reheard it and was like OMG so creepy and inappropriate

Thank you all for distracting me from my procedure

Another vote for 'Do They Know It's Christmas', especially when that sanctimonious prick Bono sings 'Well tonight thank God it's them instead of yooooooo'.

Anything by George Ezra, his voice gives me such bad rage I have been known to walk out of a shop if they’re playing anything of his. I don’t even know why

Bryan Adams “I do it for you”.
Conjures memories of slinking off into the shadows at the end of a disco while everyone else coupled up and slow-danced to this overplayed drivel.

Anything by Robbie Williams.

Bruce Springsteen “I’m on fire”
Hey, little girl, is your daddy home...
...Tell me now, baby, is he good to you...
And can he do to you the things that I do...

WTF??

woodhill Heaven 17 were the other half of the original Human League. Those lyrics were aimed at Phil Oakey and his "girls".

LHMB and Mumof21989 I had horrible all-day morning sickness with DC1 and anything from the summer of 1985 sets me off

Nelly & Kelly - Dilemma, I've always just loathed this song I think it's because it's twee, sickly, and just bloody annoying.

I think Blink 182 are ok and like some of their stuff, but I hate the song 'I miss you'. In the chorus he sings 'in my head' and it's the way he sings it so it sounds like 'in my yed'. I have to turn it off, I've noticed it and now I can't un-notice it.

Alanis Morisette - Isn't it ironic. I really like the song, but it drives me up the wall that she obviously has no idea of the meaning of irony.
