Lighthearted songs that you hate

[Sparklypurpleunicornsaremyfav]

OK so my husband completely disagrees with me on this. I cry at pretty much everything, he doesn't.
He gets teary at this song... To me it's like nails down a blackboard... The song..
Imagine by John lennon
I can't explain it but I hate it with a passion, it makes cringe
Am I the only one like my husband says or do others get the same feeling....what other songs have that effect on people???

Perfect 10 by the beautiful south. It's very... Karen.

Blurred Lines.

Come on Eileen.

Anything Jess Glyn.

I'm sure I'll think of more.

i started a list the other day of songs i never want to hear again.

number one on the list is Young At Heart by the Bluebells. makes me want to scream and be sick at the same time.

see also: Love Shack, Come On Eileen, Unchained Melody, Bohemian Rhapsody and Galway Girl.

and anything by bloody Wings, esp Mull of Kintyre

... nah can't think of anything specific. But basically, anything stupidly twee.

Is the Kiss Me one the one that contains the words milky twilight.....???

All about the bass or something? No idea who sang it. My choir whose average age must be 55 did it last year. Cringeworthy and ridiculous.

Everybody wants to Run the World - Tears for Fears

Imagine - totally over rated, boring cliché. Why people get so teary eyed about it I do not know. Imagine no possessions. Really John ? In which of your mansions would that have been then ?

Lazy Song by Bruno bastarding Mars. Cannot bear it. It's a race between my husband and I as to which of us will turn it off first. It reminds us of a time when we were both unemployed with seemingly no end in sight.

Moves like Jagger WTAF ? Stupid boring song. My husband thought the lyric was moved that jacket.

Where is the Love Black eyed peas can FOTTOOF and stay there.

Confession - some of the ones listed I actually like but some I agree with.

Angels Robbie Williams. I could just about cope with it until I heard it sung on 'Early Doors' another group murdering the song. Great comedy though.

ARGHHH All about that bass is just... awful, awful, awful. Lyrics are the height of idiotic, and she sounds like a frog that's been run over by a truck.

*Especially Mumford. I get actually angry to think about them.

I cannot put into words how much I detest their fake-folk waistcoats and country caps, aw-shucks we're just some lads from the pub act. When they are actually posh boys from Richmond.*

Yep. I can just about cope with I will wait for you but as for anything else. Nope. It just reminds of a folk tune back in the '70's, 'All around my hat' (I will wear the green willow....)

Their songs remind of someone who was doing better in life than me. She and her husband had gone to the bother of seeing Mumford and Sons in concert in another town and spent the night in a hotel there. In the morning they enjoyed their eggs benedict for breakfast.

They had a lovely time but to me it was, ugh, utter hipster shyte.

Another vote for 'Happy'

I agree re Imagine. The only version I've ever liked was on Quantum Leap.

I cannot stand Angels.

Barbie girl and Mambo no. 5 make me positively homicidal.

ArranUpsideDown pathos to bathos.
Christ on a bike, a male version, now that does sound grim

Almost anything by Frank Sinatra, especially 'My Way'.
The Answering Machine Song ('Hello, This is Joanie')
'I've Never Been to Me'
That awful passive-aggressive song from the Seventies, 'No Charge'
'Seasons in the Sun'

100% agree with all these - one reason I stopped doing mobile DJing - streams of requests for all the inane songs I've heard a million times already.

I'll be there for you, the Rembrandts
Groove is in the heart by Deelite ((DH loves it)
Anything by Jess Glynn
Anything by Steps

Marry you by Bruno Mars urgh

That woman and her fucking Umber Ella ella Ella .... Fuck OFF

anotherlittlechicken jack jones held my mums hand and sang wives and lovers to her at a concert when she was about 25.
It’s a dreadful misogynistic song.

Anything by Jess glyn just can’t stand her voice

Jar of hearts- Christina Perry
Can’t fucking stand it!

I'd like to object to Arry & her grandad, but I can't make out a single word she's so painfully excreting.

Loads , but especially Wind beneath my wings. Aaargh !
